    I know most of the tickets available are only in the lower loft family section, but we should always be sellling out for a match like this surely? Should we scrap the family section altogether? Can we justify getting a larger stadium if we can't sell out the current one? Personally I'm buzzing for Saturday. The match last October was an unbelievable atmosphere. More of the same on sat chaps! You R'sss

    I imagine it will be all sold out bar maybe some in lower loft which might just show Tony what a terrible decision that was.

    The stupid thing with the lower loft, apart from having to have a kid with you to buy a ticket even for games when there are never going to be enough people to fill it, is that people naturally buy seats online which leave a seat between them and the nearest person so noone will buy the single ticket because noone with a young kid wants to sit apart.

    Family stands are a stupid idea in an 18,000 capacity anyway. If you can't teach your child that language and behaviour at football should stay at football then you're a **** parent or the kid is too young to be at football.

    How do they sell the remaining single seats in the lower loft? :confused:

    ( And why does the emoticon page disappear once you have used it and go to another page? ) :emoticon-0183-swear

    Theres a single seat in SAR and 27 single seats in the LL.

    Now you have to bring a kid to get a seat in the LL and then leave him alone for the whole of the game. Only half of the LL should be the family area and the club should try to eliminate single seats with better booking policies.

    The tickets aren't going on general sale which would naturally massively increase sales. Re the family stand they should set it as theatres do that you can't buy tickets that leave a single seat. Very easy software but clearly not used!

    They clearly haven't thought it through have they? With seating at a premium you'd expect them to get the seating bit right.

    I agree with Drogs, I would not take my child to watch a QPR-Chelsea game. I would also not take it to see a game against Millwall or Cardiff.

    Gulp! I'm taking my two daughters aged nine and ten.

    If the much media driven cup game was anything to go by, then I wouldn't worry.

    If anything it was the three drunken Rangers fans at the Chelsea away game that has been the worst experience they have had to put up with at a game. ( Other than the result. )
    They continuously sang ' John Terry is a **** ' throughout the match, regardless of having two young girls stood in front of them.

    Impossible to eradicate single seats being left, unless the seats were arranged in a big circle. I work in cinema bookings, trust me.

    I'm taking my 6-year old son to tomorrow's match. Kids can be taught that it's not right to repeat at school or elsewhere the things that they hear at a football match.
