How Big are QPR

Assuming the next few years are successful for the club and a new stadium is to be built. What capacity should QPR build?

Like others, the stadium would likely be modular though, relative to the club's size and what division we're in etc. So the above figure would be flexible, both up and down.

i think 25-30k is the size we ideally need. atm we get anywhere between 12-15k people at a game on average but we do often get 16k+ at bigger games.
i love LR, its close to the pitch and the atmosphere can really bounce around due to how packed it is. its also pretty awful at the same time however, not only does it look like a cinder block with a few metal panels pasted on it but its also very uncomfortable especially for anyone 6'2ft+. i'm 6'4 and during my first season ticket i had 2 tall people sitting either side of me so we were packed like sardines.
i'd have my knees pressed firmly into the plastic edging of the seat infront of me and could only feel 'comfortable' when my knees became numb lol.

its not an enticing place for any would be fan thats for sure.
plus many of our fans seem to be in the 40+ age range which obviously ties into our golden eras of the late 60s-mid 90s. its been relatively downhill since then in terms of success and competing in the league, bar a few great seasons which were still mired by off the field issues like having no money and then having too much money which in the latter's case caused us to lose our clubs identity.

a new stadium is crucial for our future imo. being in london there's like what ... 8 other clubs to choose from for new supporters? most of whom are far more established or successful than us. even brentford could be slotted into that category.

we need a stadium to attract the older fans who don't want to attend matches anymore but also to encourage younger fans to latch onto the club as well.

shepherds bush has a large black/asian immigrant community who don't have familial links to teams like 'native' brits do but they end up supporting other clubs.

old stadiums are worth a fortune because they tend to have freeholds on the land whereas most properties nowadays are leaseholds. for property developers thats a goldmine as they can convert the freehold into leaseholds to housebuyers and then get the land back in 120 years or whatever, or simply purchase the house back for much less than it was sold for when the lease is running out.

plus the hardcore rubble from the stadium demolition itself is likely worth millions in its ownright.

LR could easily make the club 30-40 million if not more

We use to be a lot of folk 2nd club. And in the days of walk ins plenty of floaters. Now a lot of youngsters have other things to do and spend on so it's a struggle. Then you got fans whom are now old like bean and Bill and its not really geared up for the infirm and disabled like them. Then you have the lads like me who chase money like tarbie does a deliveroo bike who work a lot so don't go. We never going to be huge.

i think its coz LR in the grand scheme of things is outdated, uncomfortable and ugly. we understandably look at it with rose tinted glasses, it'd be like if quasimodo was your son. you'd love him and be proud of his churchbell ringing antics but everyone else would think he's ugly and wouldn't go on a date with him

Don't disagree with any of that mate.

Doesn't mean that our shiny new 25,000 seater ain't gonna be half empty every game though, does it?

Do u really want a lot of the type of folk who pop over to foolham,not their hard-core but the others? Or loads of dog eating boy band fans cos we signed a Korean?

Rscot,have u seen the local youth,they all postcode gangs and getting home alive is more of a priority than football.lol

I always thought that with the beginning of the professional woman’s game, Clubs should make a day of it, get the stadium open early, get the woman’s team playing about noon, maybe earlier, then open the bars, restaurants etc, between then and the main game. Your season ticket would let you see both games.

Promotion to EPL would obviously make a difference to attendances (especially in a new stadium). Staying there, even more. That's seeing the bigger picture of course. Of all the London clubs, we're the most central which is another USP factor. As Hal says at the top, it's all predicated on the long term ambition and vision of the owners. Any steps to grow the fanbase ITR would be a no brainer too, which naturally shouldn't equate to the club losing touch with its roots and identity.

Yeah, we sold the initial allocation mate. But not the 2nd one. Even on one of the biggest games in our history we only just managed to muster 30k on our doorstep. I don't see why we'd expect to get anything like that on a week to week basis.

On Wiki it says: "Derby County fans were located in the West End of Wembley, with an allocation of 37,249, while QPR supporters were situated in the East End, with an allocation of 37,332." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_Football_League_Championship_play-off_Final

We sold out Wembley , derby sent some back . But we all know they were not all rangers fans
