Thread | Loftus Road journey
at 08:02 19 Apr 2024
Just realising the only place I've not sat is the Upper Loft. A total mystery to me up there.
What's your Loftus Road journey? Mine....
80s - South Africa Road with Dad, then Ellerslie with Dad
90s - South Africa Road with Dad, then Loft seating with mates
2000s - Loft seating with mates then Loft family stand with son
2010s - Loft family stand with son
2020s - Loft standing with son
As son turns 18 on Sunday, am thinking I will soon be a flat-capped singleton doddering to games on my own with a flask of Horlicks. Where does one sit for that? Back to South Africa Road? Or is that what is in the mysteries of the Upper Loft?

Thread | Turn around, bright eyes
at 08:45 7 Apr 2024
Being turned around so we don't attack the Loft second half - very rarely happens anymore (thanks goodness) but certainly didn't do Wednesday any harm. Got me wondering why it rarely happens (maybe because many more grounds this days have home ends behind both goals?) and if Wednesday did it for crowd reasons or because of the wind?
Being a Loft man, I hate it, absolutely hate it. And I know that technically we had the lower away end but don't seem to get much atmosphere down there. |

Coming tonight according to Twitter? Written in the way that it will be good news, I think. I hope. |

This man is a proper manager. Already feels like we'll be lucky to have him for however long we do.
He's his own man too - who would have thought Sinclair wouldn't get a single minute today after his goal at Leicester?
That was, hands down, the best home performance I've witnessed for donkeys' years.
What an atmosphere too, can't condone the bottle throwing but I wonder if that p&&&& who scored the worldie might think twice after (totally needlessly and unjustifiably) winding us up after he scored, as did the guy who scored their second. All it served to do was stoke up the Rangers fans to yet greater heights. To be fair their centre back apologised during the celebrations, him and Darnell the only ones with class and a brain cell.
Must admit I thought (or hoped) that bloke handled it from my view in the Loft standing but wasn't sure. Also inexplicable that no-one around me saw it, so maybe the slight flick from the keeper caused an illusion. Strange all round. As was the fact he looked (genuinely) bemused when hearing the cheat chants - once the replays had been passed around.
Special mentions to Andersen, Cook, Field, Willock today. Brilliant. But they all were.
Loved it. Was so bonkers I could see them getting the winner in injury time so 2-2 did me. Again, strangely, as we deserved to win quite clearly. |

I will close my eyes and see.....the school end erupting in joy.
We should get the structure of the stand checked. Lots of people bouncing up and down on it relentlessly every other week must cause some stress.
It really is the away trip of dreams for clubs - a whole end, behind the goal, good acoustics and most importantly, 3 points.
Another of many reasons to pull our finger out of our backsides and get looking for a new ground, one where the away end is horrible and tucked away and nowhere near as possible to have an influence on the game.
I know we are not losing because of that, but it is hard not to get fed up with how accommodating we are generally.
Thinking about it - name me a club with an away end as good and dominant as ours - that has a good home record these days? Brighton? |

Thread | Cups
at 07:20 10 Jan 2024
For all the yoof's conviction that cups don't matter...look at Boro last night. A semi final 1st leg win over Chelsea. Packed house, away end booing their own players. How is that not exciting?
Fulham also in the semis.
Forget about our side now, we have often had teams better (relatively) than Fulham and Boro and yet a semi final has just seemed a pipe dream. Never mind 3rd round FA Cup defeats, we've not got to a semi final since 1986. And even that tournament ended up abandoned.
For clubs the size of ours cups are the lifeblood for excitement, exposure - for something different.
For the love of god, whatever happens to QPR in the next ten years, please let us pay a cup proper attention and please let us enjoy something like this. Just for once.

Thread | Our approach to Bournemouth cup tie
at 19:29 1 Jan 2024
Normally it drives me absolutely nuts when we throw away cup ties and don't play our strongest 11. On this occasion, and considering our 1st XI would almost certainly lose to Bournemouth's youth team anyway, I guess we've got no option but to play kids throughout. Not sure we have enough though?
I see on the ticketing site we've barely sold a ticket. Still £25 for safe standing seems like a missed opportunity not to virtually give the tickets away, but that ship has sailed.
So who will Marti play? Even if recovered, I am guessing it makes no sense to play Chair, Willock, Cook.
I know Archer is hopeless but a good opportunity to give Begovic more time on his more important interests - what a shame Mahoney is injured and Walsh off on loan.
Kolli injured too, maybe, so...
Archer
Cannon (keep him going, I say)
Fox
Dunne
Lakersche
EDB
Er Um
Er Um
Armstrong
Kelman

Bournemouth's youth team will be shaking in their boots.... |
