Just another thing to add to the list that shows the club is just drifting along
We badly need someone to take the club by the scruff of the neck and inject some life into it |
The club did ask the FL for an away opening fixture but they originally refused so the club did foresee the problem. They could have picked any team for that fixture if they insisted it be home but they picked the one where the corresponding fixture in January could be problematical with Chelsea playing Fulham and Brentford at home on that date. Maybe you might look at the FL before jumping to conclusions. | | | |

ok, not read 3pages of this thread, but has anyone asked if we will get extra tickets for the change? 3000 would do, we used get the whole end, 4000 . | | | |

I should imagine that Sky will have the Parsons Green derby on tv,hopefully Sunday,but they might choose Watford’s cup final instead. |  | | |

Yes. Guess the game. |  |

Yes twice - we played in white at home to Cardiff in 2017 (anniversary of league cup final win) and in the playoff final in 2003 against Cardiff at the Millennium Stadium...... |  |

Bet we get a home tie in the FA Cup... |  |

No it's incompetence again .
Pitch should have been ripped up day after Bristol but they pissed about with charity games etc
4 away games and a newly promoted team out of the first 5
We need to hit the ground running this season yet we've given the manager a very tough start .
Don't worry though everything is fine on the good ship QPR 🙄 [Post edited 27 Jun 2023 17:30]

August home game crowd vs Jan Home game crowd… probably cost as a few in attendance … just as well we are flush with cash, eh? |
People still on their holibobs in August, maybe won't affect the new home fixture that much? |  | | |

That is poor.
Not a great reason and amateurish from the club.
Guessing there could be some kind of financial penalty by way of a fine.
If the club can play a cup game three days later, it's 7 weeks away.
Not a great look for new found professionalism at the club. |  |

Or, you organise them around the new pitch work that you have known about for quite a long time. You do them before the end of the season or just before/after the new season gets underway. | |

starting with 2 away games is not ideal, you are of course right it shouldn't matter but just another thing with QPR, had it last year with safe standing not ready on time, these little things do add up after a while |
It DOES however mean we get three home games in a row Jan 13,20 and 27! I'm ignoring the 3rd Round of the FA cup as we all know what's happening that day home or away! | | | |

Respect … I’m guessing you were at the the Wembley classic.
I saw us play in white a couple of times at home in the late 70s when (I assume for reasons of superstition) we resurrected the kit for Cup games. And it worked winning 4-0 and 6-1. Albeit the oppo on both occasions were lowly London pushovers. Wealdstone & West Ham. No offence Stones fans. [Post edited 27 Jun 2023 18:48]

maybe it was down to the availability of the contractors? | | | |

Could well be, but then isn't the issue why we didn't book in the contractors early enough not to be affected by it? | |

Because they were already booked? Because there's been delays in work, availability of materials etc? The latter is an issue for a lot of trades at the moment. | | | |

The new pitch probably won’t be ready in time I guess.Shame though because I think we need to get off to a positive start. |
Like winning away? |  |

Apparently Watford have agreed to give us the home ends whilst their fans will get 2500 away end seats via a lucky dip draw held outside the ground an hour before the game.
Ok, I’ll admit, this may not be entirely true. |  | | |

The first bit of positivity for the new season, kicking off at home, gone for a burton.
Now we have our first 2 games away, with the now traditional first round exit from the league cup, sandwiched inbetween.
A ball's not been kicked yet, but alarm bells are going off like nobody's business.
Wouldn't be QPR otherwise though, would it? |  | | |

Are you sure we played in White at our 6-1 win.
Remember Pop robson scoring to put WHU in front,at the loft end the Buzza getting a couple.
Loved that game one down then winning 6-1 under the floodlights but really dont recall us playing in white. |  |

I'll play devils advocate and say that maybe the unusually high temperatures and lack of rainfall may have caused this issue
And I agree with Juzzie, we have to play all sides twice so does it matter when? |  | | |
