All this attendance chat really is hilarious. Ultimately they could have taken 10k; end result is their team comprehensively lost to the (full 11 changes) second string of a struggling Championship team. We could have taken the sum total of one man and a sausage roll when we visited, but at least our currently midtable Championship team well beat QPR’s first team, and will play them again later in the year too. If I were a sag (perish the thought...) I’d be far more concerned over my side improving its currently poor league form and building towards getting out of the league it’s in than comparing gate sizes with us. As I said before; we can start this pointless dick measuring over gates once QPR away is a routine league game for them every year as it is for us, not a glamorous once-in-a-generation cup tie like yesterday was for them. And it they want a better comparison on that front? How many did we take to Man City last year? Seems their second round QPR game had the same level of meaning to them as our semi-final in the same competition last year against the Premiership leaders for all the noise they made about it before hand. Never has the phrase ‘mind the gap’ seemed more appropriate.

When you have only been a league club since 2015 even a meaningless midweek cup game in that London is a source of fresh wonder.

Just happened :)

The second last paragraph has to be a joke?! ???

You might have to crop out my Stadium comparison on the left but the image on the right was around social media at the time the Al Qadis took over. They really don’t help themselves, do they?

Apologies if this has been posted before but I cried when reading the comment from the guy who actually wanted to move there but couldn’t because “the machine has broken”.

I've put it through the gaslogic calculator and it turns out that we actually took 17k fans.

Yeah, and they had 3 times more fans than us at Molineux last year as well....although on this occasion someone is clearly struggling with basic maths and possibly English. Still, it’s amazing what cheap tickets, higher League opposition and the novelty value of a ground you haven’t visited for 4 decades will do for your travelling support. I wonder if they’ll take that many fans to grounds they visit every year in the League, like Gillingham or Bradford for example?.... Was their game available on Sky like ours was?

Premiership fan base. That’s absolutely amazing.

Tonight’s cup tie at Loftus Road is being billed as:- The Wally With the Brolly vs. The Wally With No Lolly. Probably...

When the judge gave him 250 hours, his response was ****ing hellman.

Very sad to hear from their official website that Gloucestershire spinner Tom Smith's wife passed away on Thursday of last week. Condolences, Tom is around 31, I'm guessing his wife was around the same age, and she leaves behind 2 young children. RIP.

I'm not trying to be a c@nt with this but they aren't even pillars. They are tent poles FFS.

From Midnight Express; Ahmet: Where are you going? Why don't you walk the wheel with us? What is the matter my American friend? What has upset you? Oh, a bad machine doesn't know that he's a bad machine. You still don't believe it? You still don't believe you're a bad machine? Billy Hayes: Oh, I know. I already know. I know that you are a bad machine. And do you know how I know? Huh? I know, because I'm from the factory. I make the machines!

They have got it sorted now ... they are now going to use different stamps for junior and senior supporters ...

I wouldn't laugh at said dog. I'd feed it, UNLESS it started saying it's a Crufts champion, top dog fighter and will soon be living in a jewel encrusted huge kennel !

Hey Jose.....How many goals did QPR reserves score last night? ?

Very fitting that they would use out of date currency after the great ‘Crisp Crisis’ of 2018!

Is anybody thinking that we should lay off them for a bit..? That it’s a bit like laughing at a stray dog that starving to death in the gutter. No, nor me. Carry on...! ???

Seems to me they are right on track to get out of that league ?

In our promotion season, we took more away to MK Dons that they had for one of their home fixtures that season.

Too many fans in the away end?

Define deal!! Coz you never got one!!

I hope not, I would hate to think what would happen if we drew a half decent team.

As a result of Smiths winner we got roughly 600k in gate reciepts from the 2 Man City games, and some prize money. So Taylors assist indirectly brought in the best part of 700k. He was also the difference maker against Stoke and scored our equaliser agaisnt Palace. He played a huge part in the cup run, and more than brought in the money he cost.

OK this has to be one of the more bizarre arguments I have ever seen even by the normal gashead standards. Obviously not being part of the Twitterati I can't see what he is replying to, but lets take it on face value. 1. He appears to be paying homage to the Chelsea Manager in his name, yet another of the "faithful" who has a second team then? 2. Why is he obsessed with Matt Taylor on a night they got thrashed by QPR reserves? 3. Does he know Bodin is no longer at the club? 4. I don't know much about their coming and goings, but I believe that Bodin was already there, so not Taylors replacement? 5. I think they replaced him with Tom Nicholls a player who, in a similar number of games as Taylor, but at a lower level, has only once managed to hit a cows arse with a banjo.. 6. I wish I could ruin my career by tripling my wages.

What on earth is he on about better end of the deal, a 9.7 million discount surely shows us getting the better end of the deal!

Ha. The blue few are so rubbish that the opposition put a chair in left midfield and still manage to take a 2-0 lead.

They were promised a new all singing all dancing food and drink outlet after a couple of they're original ones were condemned. When it opened they were selling out of date crisps. One of the many gifts.

I know an ex-turnstile operator who had that image as their profile photo on Facebook

Exactly! Once they stop comparing themselves to far bigger clubs they *might* justifiably win some arguments.

It’s true. If they were t say “for a low-to-middling third-tier team, our support is decent”, there would be very little we could argue with. Trouble is, they cannot stop there and it morphs into “we could out sing the kop/have more fans than Real Madrid/are beloved everywhere we go”*. *Delete as appropriate.

So the biggest club on the planet only just took more fans than us? Despite the fact that it was their cup final, tickets were less than half the price (in some cases) and it wasn't on TV. Unbelievable.

back in 1990 yes I'd agree with that but not now, The longer we are above them and light years ahead of them off the field the bigger the gap between the fan bases grow, They have topped out at 8k avg and its slowly declining while ours continues to grow and has hit 20k avg,

they were only given 1238 tickets according to QPR

1750 is a decent following on a midweek. Yes it was £15, Yes it was London, Yes it was the first time they'd been there in getting on for 40 years, Yes it was their cup final, But for a small club that barely scapes 8,000 for home games, that's good.

every woman, horse and dog in that town/city would have to be evacuated for their own safety?

Not really surprising,cardboard boxes,sleeping bags and dogs tied to pieces of string are unacceptable, unless your at the swamp of course.

Hmmm...... Just how did the blue few invest that £10m for Matty Taylor? Say what? Only £300k....? Oh...... And that Bodin fella.....he's been ripping up the Championship with....Preston you say? Oh...... Back to back away wins in the Championship, one a newly relegated Premier League club, the other a comprehensive 3-0 defeat of a team that have just dicked the blue fewers 3-1 with a B team. Oh..... I know which end of the deal i'm happiest with. #COYR #OTIB

Ah, I guess if Gas-thematics is applied (add ten thousand to the starting number, multiply by three and then wipe damp spots from trousers) the final figure would be closer to the half million mark, the delusional w's

The GHS will probably be picking on the half a dozen Cheltenham fans heading home from Brentford

Is it their reserves, or a youth team that would love to step up to the reserves?

Oh dear, are things that bad ???

He`ll be banned.

The important part here is “League game” - they can come back at us when a trip to QPR is a routine second tier match for them, not a ‘glamour tie’ in the league cup. They really have zero perspective, don’t they?
