It would be via the club. Same way that Everton have got their ground and it's still going, despite the owner giving up.
The only way LR gets better is by being knocked down and us being able to buy the school and the road being built over.
With a regeneration of the area, it's more of a blank canvass rather than having to be on our grounds.
If there's no leeway of the current site square footage then we'll never drastically improve LR.
Regs have changed, can't have the stands as steep as ours these days. |

Something is definitely happening with LR.
The clubs stance on stadium has switched back to working on LR. Ruben etc have said that they can't talk about what they want to do as they have done it publicly before and look how that went.
LR has also been included in the map of the re-gen of the area. If you see the lines, it didn't need to be in there so I think it is all going hand in hand.
What that means in real terms, I have no idea. But it feels closer than ever that something at LR will be improving. |

I did Barcelona vs PSG ages ago. When I first looked, prices were sky high. But nearer the time I got tickets through the official site (I think) as season ticket holders sold their seats.
Presume Madrid do the same thing so you could look nearer the time. |

Reply | Eze release clause
at 16:33 21 Aug 2024
Palace fans on another forum think that they'll keep him this year and then cash in next season when he has 1 year left on his contract.
Saw comments earlier about the release clause.
If a club matches the clause, it's automatically accepted. Nothing the club can do other than hope he stays. But he doesn't have to move if he doesn't want to.
If a club offer the money but not in 1 go, then Palace can reject it. This is why you see clubs paying over the price so that they can pay it in instalments. |

I haven't read the whole thread, so apologies if this is already been discussed.
My feeling is that they have done this because of the no 3pm kick offs on TV. So they have done a big F U and moved them to 12.30. Now fans will be happy for the game to be at 3pm on a Sat and on TV. |

I think I am swaying towards the queing is better. Always annoying when some div get served before you despite only just turning up. Awkwardly trying to get the barmans attention so that you are next.
At least in a queue you know where you are at and it goes pretty quickly. At the end of the day, you are queueing either way.
You (sort of) queue at QPR for a beer. Not much difference, is there. |

Reply | Would you rather win league cup or survive?
at 17:02 15 Aug 2024
Odd way to look at it. I would rather win the cup than stay up. Realistically, are we going to win it? Of course not. Would I play a weakened team in the cup and focus more on the league, definitely.
If losing on Friday meant that we win the cup then I am all for it. |

I said this as well. Part of me thinks that this is why it has been done. There has been plenty of demand for the safe standing so having the family stand there makes sense.
But not sure what facilities the lower loft has for kids that the School End wouldn't? I have never sat in the LL to know the difference. |

Exactly that, it is for the away fans. Clubs like Leeds were charging away fans a lot more than those with similar views so the new rule was brought in.
Good idea to open it to home fans. Hopefully it doesn't cost us too much financially but I am sure over the year it will be fine. Interesting to see if people will be standing there as histically the cheap sections are where the standers go; like in Y block (where I stand).
Someone asked about emails for their tickets ... ive not had mine yet. |

He was rubbish for us back when he was 'good' so I wouldn't want him back now he is older and past his best. |

The Ajax kit that looked like this sold loads, so I am sure this one will as well.
Is the nod to Hammersmith part of us trying to rebuild a relationship with the council? |

It will be because we pay it out in one go. If we cancel his contract, he would get all bonuses included as well.
If we keep him, it's a monthly outgoing but he wont get bonuses (depending on what, if any, they are).
Only makes sense to release him if we get the payment to him reduced. Otherwise, if we are paying him anyway then let him rot here.
If he is being paid in full (which I doubt) then Id make him travel to all games and development games even if he isn't playing.
Certainly wouildn't pay him off in full as then he can, and probably would, get another club and get paid more money and benefit from it. |

Any new stadium would need to have housing with it. Either in the LR site or incorporated in the new area. |

They will be taking action. The club can't discuss it though.
We are trying to save as much money as possible. I find it impossible to think that we are doing nothing to manage the situation.
For all we know, he's on statutory sick leave and not being paid. But they can't divulge that. |

Rico Lewis is right footed as well. Not seen/heard much of him since the start of the season though (but I am out of the loop with the Prem). |

This is what made me think that there is something in the pipeline. Loftus Road was sticking out as being included in the re gen. Ill try find the image. |

We sold out plenty of times last year. We sell out of non restricted views every game.
I am too young for your comparisons, I am 34.
You and I are not going to agree on it, which is fine.
My point is that if we had a bigger ground, we would sell more tickets. Sell more tickets, we have more money. Easier to get beer, ill drink more beer there. Sell decent food, ill buy decent food. At the moment I spend next to nothing at LR. If it were easy enough to get the rest, id probably spend £40 a game there. If there are more like me then that's a huge increase in revenues.
Making more money and then spending more on wages etc is a slightly different argument and I agree. But that is why I don't really understand why people want FFP gone. All it means is that everything goes up. Your £1m player is suddenly £5m and your team isn't much better.
Which makes it more important to get money in, so we can spend it without the need of breaking FFP.
Above all, I also love LR. Don't get it twisted, it's a great shithole and I love standing in Y block giving it some. it would just be better if I could get more alcohol! |
