Think there are also other factors at home. Noticeable increase in foreign fans, not the prem league glory hunter types, but groups of largely men who want an old school football experience and love coming to HQ. Scandinavians, Germans etc who come, love it, come again and bring their mates.
As for the young kids, which I love to see, price is important. They can (just about) afford to go to games, which their mates who support the scum or Arsenal or even Fulham can't. And once here they are hooked by the atmosphere, intensity and proximity. All reasons to keep Loftus Road |

One thing the Palace game had, which Leeds lacked, was a female streaker running topless along the gantry in front of South Africa upper. She seemed very happy. |

It was two away games for me. After Watford I said on the train home, to anybody who would listen and some who tried not to, we can only go down from here, nailed on relegation. The worst opening day performance in the 56 seasons I've been watching this mob and it didn't get any better. Leicester away was revelatory, we did a brilliant job that day and suddenly hopes were raised. I wavered after Wednesday at home, but felt pretty safe from that point on. We are not a league one club and the fans made sure we never felt like one this year. Our role in this should not be underestimated. |

Brilliant piece Clive. Sat with my boy who is now a man and we hugged and we cried. He was there for Oldham at home but so small then he can't really remember it, and we said that Friday was the best night at HQ we've had together. Something has happened/is happening: a buzz, a thrill, an affirmation of all the reasons we love this crazy club. We may go on to finish 16th next season, but it feels like a corner has been turned, a future path has been found. No more talk of leaving LR please, no more wishing to be another, better team, this is who we are and where we live. This is why we come and more and more people seem to want to join us. Bring it on, I love this club. |

Thread | The JD effect
at 16:36 27 Apr 2024
When trying to analyse the reasons we turned this season around, it is important not to underestimate the Jimmy Dunne effect. Of course appointing MC was the true catalyst, and it must have been his choice to transform our struggling, sluggish, error prone centre half into a joyously rampaging full back. But the way that Jimmy responded to that was incredible and invaluable. His spirit, his drive, his fearless, skilful runs and of course That Goal, have been transformational. Even on the bad days he never gave in, and he seemed to raise the spirits of fans and fellow players alike. Just seeing the big man giving everything was to believe that we could and would be better, and he might be my personal player of the year. Love that man. |

Sorry for being old and stupid, but do these people just sit in their mum's back room and talk about the game? What is that about? Do we have them? Or is it just a Chelscum thing? |

Am I right in thinking that Adam Crozier, currently in the news for the post office scandal, insisted that we should have points deducted over the Alejandro Faurlin affair? [Post edited 12 Apr 15:25]

All those doom mongers saying we'll need over 50 points to stay up, those saying after Saturday and even after last night that we are doomed. Come on, which of the teams below us now will end up above us? |

Thread | Wrong way round
at 15:42 7 Apr 2024
I was disturbed from the very off yesterday when Wednesday turned us around and made us kick the wrong way. Does anybody have the stats on how well or badly we do when we go the opposite way. It didn't feel right and we certainly did not play right. |

First time I think Marti got it completely wrong. Starting Sinclair and just playing long balls in the channels, soaked up with ease by their big, horrible defenders. We should have been playing round them, instead it just kept coming back at us. And when Armstrong did get through he was totally isolated. He really only works as an impact sub, and is really more of a winger than a number 9. I know the other options aren't good, but that one clearly doesn't work. |

Perhaps our not very decent ground is part of the appeal. After the bland experience of most prem stadiums, Loftus Road feels splendidly real, visceral, authentic, which I'm sure appeals to lots of the tourist types who are undoubtedly making up the numbers. Our inner city, council estate setting and cramped, close to the action ground are to my mind our biggest assets. |

It might not have been enjoyable but it has been incredibly involving, compelling, maybe even exciting. Why do we think the attendances have been so high? If it were another season of mid table mediocrity we would n't have taken three thousand to Leicester or sold out at home to Rotherham.
If we stay up and it is still a big ion, than I would take this over some of the lacklustre dross we've been force fed in recent years. |

I would say better than mid table mediocracy. Painful at times, joyous at others. The end result will determine the final verdict, but the fact that I still really care, study the table, look at the fixtures shows to me it has not been a boring season. If we stay up this will have been a good season. |

Some of you lot seem to think we support Bayern bloody Munich. We were the away team, playing against a side ten (roughly) places above us in the league, we were the better side, created much the better chances and never really looked like conceding. Al the teams around us lost, and we have just gone a point closer to survival, with (almost) the best goal difference of any team in the shake up. I'll take that any day. |

Far too negative on here. We've been the better side, created better chances, given little away. Dykes I agree has been poor, but overall that has been a decent performance away from home. |
