QPR have always flipped between giving you both tiers or not. I’d guess if they need to win on the last day, they’d rather sell to their own in the bottom tier. I'm not sure they can segregate that stand Betty, only 1 entrance IIRC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BS3City Posted April 14, 2023 Report Share Posted April 14, 2023 Those slimy QPR turds have always messed around with our allocation. Plenty of occasions in seasons gone by where we've only had the top tier when we could have sold both, yet other clubs comfortably get both tiers without issue. I absolutely hate the place and so do a lot of others (awful view and facilities), but the opportunity to relegate them would be too good for too many City fans to turn down - and they know it. For that reason I'd be amazed if they give us both tiers - irrespective of whether they can fill the bottom or not. C.nuts... 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is exactly down to this - if they are safe we WILL get the bottom tier, if not we are ONLY getting the shit top tier 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, as you say, it's always a good away trip despite the facilities in the ground. The risk is we send them down and save Rotherham or Huddersfield in the process - both horrible away trips. I often think back to the opportunity we had to send Birmingham down a few years back - and fluffed it. So disappointing. Don’t mention the Birmingham game , had many rants on here about rolling over that day , typified the club / leadership at the time . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too I still get angry now about it , watching all those brummies dancing around the Atyeo and having a party at our expense outside 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Brent Posted April 14, 2023 Report Share Posted April 14, 2023 Must be the only who enjoys the top tier. Old school ground and I love it. Can still see Caulker’s late equaliser. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This thread is about QPR so I'll be brief. In recent years big home games like Man Utd and both Man City games have been sold with special priority tiers. In part those tiers have been determined by a number of home attendances in that season. Away attendances have not counted. On each occasion I asked the club why they only cared about home attendances. On each occasion I was told it wasn't possible to track away tickets as they came from the away club. This is clearly bollocks. Edited April 14, 2023 by ExiledAjax 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I'd say it's probably a quite accurate number tbh. But equally, I agree it won't sell out on Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unan Posted April 14, 2023 Report Share Posted April 14, 2023 (edited) Always been in the bottom tier but went in the top tier in a cup game a few years ago (Jack Hunt goal from outside the box, lost 7-8 on pens). As has been said, awful view, can’t even see the near side goal. Edited April 14, 2023 by Marcus Aurelius Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QPR didn't give us the bottom tier the last time we were there for the final fixture of a season. It was a game with nothing riding on it and their fans sinvaded the pitch at full time. If they go down/stay up emotions will be even higher....I imagine it's a policing issue more than anything else. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
