pacbuddies Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Didnt renew last year after many many years, (Upper Holte) and wont this year, but it isn't the Team, it is (partly the expense, and mainly) the prospect of getting stuck next to one of many critical/fed up supporters....I will pick games and go places where I can get to empty or positive seats if necessary. If anyone is in a part of the ground where people stay positive and enthusiastic come what may, let me know, as for me that is what it has always been about. I would rather all those who dont like it, didnt go, and stand in a crowd of 10 000 who really got behind the Team. Or 1000 if thats all there is !!! I would think this part of the ground is where the alcohol is served in large quantities! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wainy316 Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Well Brigada are trying to get something like that going. I'd love it if the whole Holte were bouncing and singing regardless. It may require ignoring the action on the pitch at times but so be it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wedge Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Has anybody got a reliable updated figure of how many we've sold so far? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 (edited) perhaps we can all have our opinions removed a bit like " reformatting the hard drive"....i'm sure the club would arrange it.lol we can forget all the shit we have had to endure in the past....and start singing and shouting our full support again. The we can qualify as full fledged " lemmings" .....just joking I know its right to get behind the team....but when they are glaringly poor, you do feel a bit of a dick head.....even the Brazilian crowd are now full paid up members.

MyLord Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Renewed, just moved more central to L5 as it's a better view for my nephew (youngest ST holder!), with only the hand rails in front of us. Just hope we're not surrounded by perrenial moaners/tactically inept "FOWARD!" fans... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't say I blame you or anyone who feels similar, but for me the worse it is the more the need, for myself apart from anything else, to at least sing and support them. Otherwise what is left !!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suppose it is asking a bit much down VP these days! How far down do people usually stand in L5 (only when a goalmouth event occurs, obviously), past the stair entrances?

Robbie09 Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 The back few rows continually stand but those towards the front only stand when the play is in either penalty area. I think your nephew will be ok as my lads have been sitting there since the age of 4 so unless the guy in front of him is very tall he'll enjoy it (as well as learning a few choice words...) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 £950 quid for a season ticket at a shit heap like Loftus Road? Football has eaten itself, vomited all over common sense, and downed it again with a shot of insanity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyLord Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Couldn't care less about anybody else tbh, so long as we get more value for money next year I'll be happy to have renewed (which would probably happen year on year anyway, as is the annoyance of football fandom!)
