Tony Le Mesmer Still ceases to amaze me the amount of people ( I almost wrote plastics then) who slate Loftus Rd? Whats up with you, not enough comfy leg room for you to stretch out and empty your Thermos for a nice Cuppa?

Get a grip, its an old style ground, with a good atmosphere and plenty of local pubs. Loftus Road > any of the souless, morge like plastic bowls that now litter English Football. If you dont like it, maybe a family atmosphere with Song sheets, Drummers, Spaz clappers a ponsey hotel and a Jazz club are more up your street?

Agreed. Give me Loftus Road or Kenilworth Road any day over, say, the Madejski.

Still not going though.

I can only assume that those of you extolling the virtues of Loftus Road are midgets.
For anybody - such as myself - who is over 6 foot and "comfortably built", it is bloody crippling to sit in the seats at QPR. You end up with a ridge across the shins where seat in front of you has cut you off below the knees, and a real possibility of a knee in the ear (or a crotch in the face) if everybody leaps up at a goal.
Most miserable draw we could have managed.
OUT (and hoping we thrash them and get something better in the next round).

Wonder if RFC season ticket holders will also get a discount for the away end?

I think we're top tier, I'm guessing we'll get bottom too if we sell out the top tier.
