Acton Red Posted October 4, 2016 Report Share Posted October 4, 2016 I will be there along with two other London Reds. My sons school is attached to the back of the stand we will all be in. The ground is so small that the Players and Directors park there cars in the school car park. I live so close I can hear when they score. Great ground, really close to the action and we should make a lot of noise. It is of course the ground where Nicky Maynard scored that goal.

Will be there, most likely in very similar attire! Working in London for a couple of days and have gone for a hotel round the corner from the ground rather than anywhere near the office.

RedM Posted October 4, 2016 Report Share Posted October 4, 2016 When at Fulham recently I overheard the group of people sat behind saying they were going to give QPR a miss, and it sounded like they did almost every away game. Many I have spoken to since said they hated the ground and vowed never to go there again. I'm not going, did the game at the end of the season and I didn't much like it, but I am surprised by how many are giving it a miss. Obviously a Tuesday night isn't good for many so I hope all you London based Reds will do us proud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledAjax Posted October 4, 2016 Report Share Posted October 4, 2016 I'll be there. Never been to QPR so want to see if this ground is as bad as everyone says it is. Nice excuse to get out of work sharpish on a Tuesday. I'll be a lone wolf coming from the City as my normal London lot are giving it a miss.

Fat Cigar Posted October 4, 2016 Report Share Posted October 4, 2016 Only been there once - a few years back. Think biggest problem is the risk of getting a restricted view ticket. And QPR away tickets aren't cheap. Will be giving this one a miss. And don't think I can bear sitting on a coach crawling through London rush-hour traffic.

Paul Cheesey Posted October 4, 2016 Report Share Posted October 4, 2016 I was at Fulham this year and QPR last season, Craven Cottage is a far superior ground. I won't go to Loftus Road again, horrible club, awful stadium for away fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonBristolian Posted October 4, 2016 Report Share Posted October 4, 2016 I'll be there but sat in the QPR end because a season ticket holding friend has a spare.

Bar BS3 Posted October 4, 2016 Report Share Posted October 4, 2016 So people don't like modern bowl stadiums because they have no character but don't like Loftis road because it's dated..? Loftus Road is a proper old school ground. Fans close to the pitch. Usually decent atmosphere and apart from a bit of a crap view in some seats, it's a good away day.

fairweather Posted October 4, 2016 Report Share Posted October 4, 2016 As a London based fan I've been to this fixture a few times. Once sat with the home fans as a last minute thing when my son was quite young and felt really uncomfortable. You could do that at a Reading or Fulham but I wouldn't do that at QPR again. One year in the away end we got kettled by the police and missed the kick off and were held for ages afterwards I like old school grounds with atmosphere but find Loftus Road sad a 70s throwback of a place Anyway I will be there for my third City game in four which is a record for me.
