    I received my ST pack this morning(why did it take so long?) Almost bought it online the other day.
    After 30+ years of continuous service to my beloved Loftus Road, I have decided not to renew my ST for this coming season. Instead I am hoping to watch as many away matches as possible. I fear the gates for matches against the less glamourus sides; where there will be embarrassing home attendances of around 12-13k
    Based on what I've just written, you can understand why our ticket prices are so high, we are paying for being successful, the full houses against the likes of Liverpool, the Manchesters, the London derbys, will carry the attendances for the lower table oblivion teams (mainly teams that are based up north)

    Please help me:
    My renewal is £649 this means 19 home games = £34.15p per game (19) This is not bad value to be honest, but i just can't afford it.
    The pack states that at £649 I would save £341 on match tickets.
    Does this mean £649 + £341 = £990 ergo £52.10p per game (19) for an Adult Silver
    Now that really is taking the urine. Just imagine having to fork out a bullseye to watch the likes of bolton, blackburn, wigan, west brom...and all the other hanger-ons in the PL
    Remember when games were banded A or B matches ?
    Oh happy days!!!

    None of the seats at Loftus Road are average, they're pretty crappy especially if you've eaten all the pies!

    the prices may have been more acceptable had we had a successful year in the prem last season..to do this when its likely to be a year of struggle just goes to prove the goons are cashing in...

    You're right Dens, the Ellerslie is almost prehistoric (and I would know having sat there since 1965 other than ther year it was being rebuilt). Things could be worse though: I noticed the little throwaway line in the pack that mentioned the Platinum bar had been converted to a new press room. So those paying the very highest prices in the ground now get reduced facilities but no discount for thr inconvenience of course. As we have seen before these guys just lack any kind of understanding of the fans.
