    Interesting.

    Believe that it would have been more appropriate if we were sponsored by “Mickey Mouse”.

    Hopefully it brings in somd decent sponsorship.

    Fans on social media have been losing their **** over this, like there isn't greater things for us to be concerned about. If it helps the finances they can rename the stadium 'The Pound Shop Loftus Road Theatre of ****e' for all I care.

    He’s a director of it, but it’s a Malaysian government agency aimed at trade promotion. So it’s not his money being recycled into the club.

    Haven't the twittersphere worked out we need the money... We should have done it years ago.

    But we very charitably allowed the Kiyan Prince Foundation have the rights...and gave them promotion for a couple of years...what a nice thing for the club to do.


    No real idea, but it may just help us avoid FFP fine...or it may just allow us to sack Ainsworth...which is also what the twittersphere want.


    Just get real...who cares what it is called. To the people who matter...it is and will always be Loftus Road

    With you Beth. Sign of the times now. Take the money where it comes. Market Jude the Cat if it brings in the cash needed.
    What does it matter. We all know where our spiritual home is.

    Easy way of getting some badly needed money. No issue with it.

    Pretty much agree, although I'd always want "Loftus Road" included in the name.
    This latest deal makes good sense as far as I can tell.

    I wonder if they put it out to bids or just did a quick deal. Matrade doesn’t sound like a particularly large corporation. What about selling the roof space for advertising - we’re on the Heathrow flight path.

    We should be able to do a lot with the £500 million a year that this deal is generating!

    I own shares in the mouse. Talks with the Walt Disney Company broke down when the QPR Board refused to replace Jude the Cat with Goofy.
