    Um, it was sold out...our atmosphere wasn't as good as last years but you lot were eerily quiet.

    Also, taking the train from Euston eastbound to LR, at every stop about 10 R's fans come on and no Chelsea fans at all, so I guess West London is ours, you can have the home counties though <ok>

    For every Chelsea fan attending the match there will be 5 QPR fans and away fans tend not to wear colours so it is likely more Chelsea fans got but weren't identifiable due to non-colours.

    I've always found West London mixed myself. There's a lot of Arsenal there, but also Chelsea and QPR. The majority of Chelsea fans are South of the River but last time I went to Wembley v Spurs there were dozens of Chelsea getting on at each stop namely Dollis Hill, Neasden, West Hampstead etc and no Spurs.

    The stadium looked a complete sell out, I didn't really see any empty seats apart from the odd one but that was in both ends.

    Interesting playground debate. I could point out the number of threads, posts and views on here which show us to have 4 times as many as you lot but that would be silly wouldn't it!!;-)

    I think it's good to have so many QPR fans using one forum. When the old 606 went, Chelsea fans and fans of other clubs rent ended to split

    Plus it doesn't prove anything about each others support does it?

    Ahh there we go, got a live one! I'm not interested on but really. I could go on about historic attendances, yours, ours anybody's but I did that at school. We have 18500 now max and Loftus road used to be 27500 which was regularly filled. All counts for nothing and means nothing. If we had a 4000 capacity I'd support us because it's QPR. So who actually cares???

    We have had too many arguments about attendances relating to QPR and Chelsea so I'm gunna leave this one :)

    Our support is a lot better than yours especially away from home though :)

    That's my point, who cares! Your champions league winners! It would be strange if you didn't. Just don't understand the obsession with numbers unless you'd stop supporting if you fell below a certain level? It's a cringeworthy argument to have with anyone!!

    Think he ignores me after he guaranteed we would be relegated and made various promises to laugh at our expense! I disagreed and he's been a bit quiet since! Shame, cos I miss him like a cat might miss a ball of wool!

    I've tried many many times in the past, '74 but the guy is as cool as ice. He'll just never bite. I gave up a long time ago!

    The old Loftus Road was regularly filled with away fans. You rarely sold out.
    Eg you had one sell out in 84/5 (v chelsea, 15k away fans)
    And one sell out in 85/6 (v Chelsea in the milk cup)

    Interesting site, thanks. One small hole in your argument. The spuds game we had a bigger crowd, that's why I like to check for myself.
