v QPR (h) - 30/7/22

[Mattyblue]

We are the only club in the land with a completely empty tier of that vast size… and it looks bloody horrendous, and surely can’t help the club when it comes to marketing, TV coverage etc - so another total own goal by Mr Quantum. But if some of you don’t think it’s a poor look for BRFC to have half the action taking place in front of 30+ plus rows of blue seats beamed across the country every week, ok, each to their own.

But on the other issue, why does having away fans up there give us an advantage? What stats do you have to back that up?

For me, It just adds to an all round flat atmosphere, that doesn’t aid the players. Our best performances often come out of a raucous atmosphere… and busy lower tiers is the best way to encourage that.

Easy solution, do what John Williams did. Fortress Ewood.

£250-350 pricing all around the ground. Unreserved Darwen End Lower.

Away fans up in the gods, out the way. Also a good way of engineering bookings for any away player that celebrates, as it can always be construed as 'goading home fans'. Happened at least a few times back in 2007-10

Of course that’s the answer, just not a chance it ever happens with this CEO.

QPR fans brought decent numbers but yet again Waggot puts them up in the gods to save a few pennys. 

Ruins the atmosphere and any possible banter between fans and looks bloody awful seeing a completely empty lower tier.

Wish he'd stop this...

I wish he'd stop turning up to work.

Not when they are doing on purpose they won't.

With very little if any resistance from western Govts driving the great net zero reset.

The oil companies are the government. That's the problem.

Herbie, what a lovely analogy / simile you produced for your match report (500 Words After QPR).

Spot on mate - a great read and a brilliant insight into the developing canvas onto which JDT is spreading his charcoal strokes (with any luck :)). Thank you!
