    Apologies Watford I was wrong, I thought that goal was later into injury time than that.
    But I think it is fair to say there is a big difference from leaving in the 80th minute and after a goal in the 94th minute of injury time. And I am sure all reasonable posters can see that. Many fans appluaded and left in the 95th minute.

    District, if we people want to call is south west london that is fine.
    We are north of the river but have many fans from south and our postcode is SW.

    I think South West London Derby does not have the same ring to it as WLD!

    I'm sorry if people are offended by WLD and its accuracy.

    Another classic Hammersmithism. Lambast a club for not having hooligans, not that it was/is true, as if it's a bad thing to not be followed by middle-aged, overweight men in Stone Island jackets.

    I've actually got money on you guys winning the league this year, basing that on the fact that your defence is better than Man Utd and Man City.
    By strengthening your attacking options, admittedly only attacking midfielders, I feel you will always score.

    Guess that makes me less bothered whether you beat us, but as always I'll sing my heart out.

    Win, lose or draw, I will be ever present, I doubt that could be said of a number of blues fans that could quite easily replace our old plastic pitch.
    Now there's a thought........

    <laugh> Classic Watford!
    TBH the guy is just a WUM who knows nothing about anything. I remember the game on TV and they were leaving before that second goal.

    But the most ironic thing about all that muppets comments is i was in the Chelsea end when they beat us and left when it was 4/5- 0 and was walking out with loads of Chelsea fans. <laugh> stay until the end and mock our fans for leaving, my 'arse'.
    Muppets the lot of them

    You had 6,000 v Walsall recently. But 15,000 for your boutique Prem games. Mmmmmmmm. You have a fair share of plastics too it seems.

    we get 41k for prem games and 37k plus for carling games/CL group games.

    So Chelsea fans left at 4-0 after 25 mins along with you, Ellers?

    Loads of Chelsea fans walking out at 5-0 after 64 mins after a Torres hat-trick?

    Fans dont go to the cup games because weve put out terrible teams to lose on purpose. Warnock basically admitted it.
    I didnt go to the Walsall game because I didnt want to be ripped off however I saw the team he put out and I have the tickets for the next round.

    Tickets are going for several hundred pounds for the chelsea game http://www.viagogo.co.uk/qpr/Sports...r-League/Queens-Park-Rangers-Tickets/E-464044

    The only tickets left are about 100 in the family section where you must bring a child but the seats are all singles. We also sold out all the recent games at SB, I assume you were there. You basically are making everything up.

    Not really. Even in the 2nd division Newcastle regularly got more numbers in than most 1st division sides. But obviously geography is a key factor

    I do feel we're being a little overrated but time will tell. We will know a lot more after we've been tested at Arsenal away.

    You are right in that fans will come and go and there are many "plastic" fans but that's the price of success. If a fan has supported Chelsea post-Bates or is overseas's. That shouldn't necessarily make them plastic. There are many overseas fans that stay up/wake up at ridiculous hours on a working week to watch Chelsea, albeit a pre-season friendly or competitive game.

    H&F is a West London Borough though, that's probably why the media call us a West London club - on a technicality

    Most clubs put out weakened teams for the Carling cup. Chelsea included. Your Walsall game was only £15 a ticket.

    I can only guess that now you are a boutique club, playing Walsall is not good enough for your new generation of fans.

    There are tickets left in the Ellerslie not just the Family section according to your official website at 7am this morn. And the viagogo link you posted shows the majority of tickets at £60-£89 not several hundred pounds.

    It seems like you are the one making things up

    This West London thingy hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Yeah I always considered Chelsea a South London club due to the post code, or more accurately a South West London club, whereas QPR and Brentford would be North West London clubs. Both North/South and East/West cover 50% of a map area and in London Charring Cross is suppose to be the central dividing line.

    The Thames flows generally West to East, yet through metropolitan London it meanders from the lower South West towards the median of the urban area when it gets to Essex/Kent. The post office divides the city as if it was a circle and ignore the banks of the river, so Chelsea FC resides North of the river but is in a South West postal district. I guess the problem for most people is they think of the river as the dividing line between North and South London, which would make the North West sector far larger than any other part of the city.

    Geography moulds our culture and influences events that take place on it, which makes it very important to get it right. If Norway didn't have a crinkly coast and a middle full of mountains, but a decent amount of flat land, they'd have a farming economy and maybe you wouldn't need to get a boat to visit the pub at night. The Vikings may never have left home to plunder as staying home would of been a far more attractive proposition. Also there'd be decent football pitches and Norway may have won the World Cup by now.

    LOL.

    I just paid £62 for my Arsenal ticket. I'm guessing we charge you £59 or maybe £64... do you know at all?

    Actually you don't sell out. Look at the very bottom of this website and it says you did not sell out all your allocation at SB: http://www.fansnetwork.co.uk/football/queensparkrangers/fb_news.php?storyid=16831

    I think i paid £59 at your ground last season.Arsenal have put the prices up for cat A games this season but have also introduced cat C games with cheaper prices.I paid £25.50 for the Sunderland and am paying the same price for Southampton on Saturday.This is for the same seats as i'm paying £62 for the game against you
