The goalkeeper 3rd kit is a bit of a gripe of mine too. I get that they're only going to release two for sale but for me last two seasons 3rd kit has been the best one. Purple last season and dark green this. Why are the best ones the third kit?
If they released both of them in short sleeve, I'd buy them tomorrow.

I really like the blue and (errr) blue hooped one but not £54 worth of ‘like’.
It was mentioned but Hoos said they won't buy the school unless there is a clear benefit to the club but never heard them respond as positivly to the idea in decades
That was all a bit awkward, his son may well end up being a world beater but he's 9 years old, it's not the end for him
That was the only bit that made me cringe. I've only watched the first half but it was a really interesting watch. They answered all the questions honestly and reasonably in my view.
Was offered to Chris Wright by the council after the old school there was knocked down.
Buying the school is not as attractive as it once was becasue of the newish houses that have been built to the side of it... We might be able to increase the Upper tier on one side (bit like the away stand at Forest). But whats the point if it only gives us another 1000 - 2000 seats.
Fantastic read as ever, quite enjoyed watching last night as well
On the kid getting released I think in defence of the parent he did say they had not been told why which was a problem, I don't know how QPR do things but at other clubs you have regular meetings with the coaches and are told well in advance if there are problems so you can work on them or if for example you are a striker and that age group had 6 other strikers they may feel for your own development it is better to go elsewhere and have more playing time. If those conversations have not been had then you can see why you had a Phil Beard moment last night and an angry parent thinking well where else can i get an answer.
Easy for us all to take the piss but that took some balls to ask that question in front of a lot of people directly to the man in charge

Would it not be possible to shift the pitch lengthways allowing room to extend the other three sides?
The new school end could include better stadium facilities to allow for greater use throughout the week.

Does it mean that to be profitable and sustainable the answer is to increase the seating capacity of loftus road? Lee Hoos used the example of burnley, however burnley’s stadium capacity is under 22000, so if the stadium is used everyday for commercial purposes as claimed, it wouldn’t be football related activities which I suppose happen 2-3 times a month on average? Loftus road is just under 19000, and if clever retrofitting within its present footprint we may just yet get it to 20000-22000 (mainly enlarging South Africa stand and the school end presumably if we were to buy the school site) which means buying the school site we can build commercial facilities to integrate with the present/upgraded stadium to provide “burnley type” daily usage for revenue outside football related uses. Are we overthinking that to be long term viable for the club it is always going to be a new 30000-40000 capacity stadium?
