One 15er claiming that Queens Park W*****s' Loftus Road ground is a "lovely stadium". So far out of touch; not understanding that with Brentford's (current ground) it is the worst in the Championship !

And yes it’s a dump, horrible ground that many of us actively choose not to go to. But as said it will be their big day out (barring Sunderland away) this season.

So far out of touch; not understanding that with Brentford's (current ground) it is the worst in the Championship ! From the pits to the Ritz. They will be amazed at seeing an all seater stadium with four stands, yes FOUR stands, that's not a cricket pavillion, half a stand, a few tents, a selection of white plastic garden furniture and a few odius looking garden sheds that they're used to. They'll be expecting the Queen and other dignitaries to be introduced to the players beforehand and of course Her Highness will be presenting the Watney Cup afterwards. The reality is however, for Championship teams, is that this is a cramped little stadium that's been left behind by most clubs at this level. It's still incredible that they advise that you can't see the touch line thinking that as long as they've told the long suffering away fans then its alright. Still, the sags will have plenty in common with them, they too have a massive chip and think they are chelsea when the reality is they're more like a Barnet. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they hoping to relocate? This cup tie could be huge for the gas, if they don't leave at the end of the match they could squat in a new stadium. They aren't bothered about home grounds being outside Bristol, do they? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We sold our first set of floodlights to Burton Albion in the mid 60’s. Maybe Rovers got this turnstile system from Salford as a part of the deal with the player who left them for Salford. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's both innit... 1965: Division Three runners-up 1964/65, promoted to Division Two. The original set of floodlights erected in 1953 were sold to Burton Albion and a new set were officially switched on with a friendly against Wolverhampton Wanderers the same club which provided the opposition for the 1953 switch-on. 1992: Andy Cole is signed from Arsenal in July for a club record fee of £500,000. The old floodlight pylons are given to Wigan Athletic. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
