    Apparently the 350 fans that made it to Sunderland is the worst turn out at the SoL for three years.

    I would think out of the London clubs only Arsenal would sell out. Spuds barely managed 1300 recently.
    We've sold more than 2,500 of our allocation (2900) so far. Much better effort

    How do you know? It is a great effort if true. I'm going and looking forward to it

    My mate bought two today and the box office said it was unlikely we will sell out.

    First game we haven't sold out in England this season?!

    Even more pathetic than usual. Are you really 40 years old?

    Just seen that the Qpr game at home is the first Prem game this season to go to two per member at the Bridge.So no excuse for not going this season you Rrrrs. Even Villa at home before Xmas sold out quicker

    Yeah we never really sell out Sunderland away...

    Yeah the first one.. we probably won't sell out Everton away on 30th December but that's understandable...

    Remember when we took 8k to Sunderland for a night game. Superb!

    I'd rather just go in the away end. Not really our problem if Chelsea are struggling to sell out against a team half the fans hadn't heard of a couple of years ago.

    We always got poor crowds v you. In the 70s 80s Qpr would barely draw 20k at the Bridge but the WLD always drew 30k. But Fulham usually brought 3k or so sometimes more

    I struggle to see how that's something that puts QPR down. I don't expect us to be a big deal to Chelsea fans. You're the only one that seems to care.

    Stop being so menstrual.

    I'm just poking fun at you guys because Ellers and the like are always mocking Fulham's away following, posting that Sunderland away jpg.

    Enjoy getting a bit of attention of big brother and just enjoy some banter

    It's not really banter when you keep making the same tired old point over and over. 375 was a perfectly reasonable turnout for a team in the form we are on a Tuesday night in Sunderland when people travelling from some directions couldn't get there because of the weather. I don't care if Fulham take 50 or 5000 but their away support is considerably worse than ours, ceteris paribus.

    Agree. But a lot of your fellow Rrs do care.

    they always brought more to the Bridge though. Some great turnouts in 70s and early 80s. Not Arsenal or west ham level but lots nonetheless

    Well it was the least they could do for your lot bumping their home gates up by a few thousand every other week.

    Inside the M25 and within a radius of 100 miles their support has always been pretty good. Beyond Birmingham it's pretty dire but I really don't blame anyone for not travelling away or even not going at home. Football is ludicrously priced nowadays and I doubt I'll still be going half as regularly when I have more commitments than I do now.

    LOL. Pleased that you still have a sense of humour despite impending relegation
