Joe. Posted 29 October 2006 Posted 29 October 2006 For a start, hardly any fans turned up to Loftus Road to support their team. What's with that? There are plenty of teams in the lower divisions whose fans would kill to be in the Championship. Secondly, it was possibly the worst atmosphere ever at a ground. There was no singing from any of their fans apart from the odd 'We are QPR say we are QPR'. We were just laughing at the hundreds of kids sat to our right trying to sing back at us. Why were there so many of them?
Guest Gist Posted 29 October 2006 Posted 29 October 2006 Your right, the atmosphere yesterday was poor and yes it was the worst I've ever seen!
Manwell Pablo Posted 29 October 2006 Posted 29 October 2006 they aren't doing very well and they have just appointed John Gregory as manager, what have they got to sing about? I wouldn't be so judgemental If I were you, I'd expect most away fans slag our plastic bowl after visiting it. if you see it from their point of view you have a kop that is barely audioable from the other side of the stadium, a few kids to the right hand side and 200 idioits singing "your just a small town in (insert nearest town to team being played)" Atmosphere and attendances have been slipping for a long time in general.

Yeah but they were REALLY bad. Even when we went down to ten men and they were throwing the kitchen sink at us, their players were louder than their fans. I know the Walkers might not be a cauldron of noise but it's never been that bad.

Tubes Posted 29 October 2006 Posted 29 October 2006 we seem to be getting this after most away matches now
Thracian Posted 29 October 2006 Posted 29 October 2006 we seem to be getting this after most away matches now Football's in crisis in many places - we should be thankful there's still enthusiasm in abundance at our place, and signs of even better to come.
Tommeh Posted 29 October 2006 Posted 29 October 2006 Birmingham was about on level par with QPR tbh And Manwell it's those 200 "idiots" shouting that try and create an atmosphere at the walkers, we also try desperately hard to cheer the lads on. Ok we have a bit of banter with the away fans but mostly we start chants about LCFC and do our best to cheer them on and sometimes I wish we had more help from others supporters in the ground!! btw I am not trying to start and L1 v kop argument I have good respect for the kop and at times they can be very good

Why were there so many of them? Worst fans were Luton when we went last year barely anyone sung for them, only when they scored, 'Shit Ground No Fans, Shit Ground No Fans!
Tommeh Posted 29 October 2006 Posted 29 October 2006 Worst fans were Luton when we went last year barely anyone sung for them, only when they scored, 'Shit Ground No Fans, Shit Ground No Fans! It seems some London clubs do lack a little. I went Charlton, Luton - (outskirts of London) and Qpr in the last couple of years and they were all very bad, and plenty of opposing fans have complained at the lack of noise form Arsenal at the Emirates. Also I know somebody who went Fulham recently and he said it was very quite. That said palace fans were good last year. And you always hear decent noise from vicerage road on the tele(fulham match)

Daggers Posted 29 October 2006 Posted 29 October 2006 That's obvious. Walking down the High Street it's probably the only place left where they speak English. What kind of comment is this Thracian? Oh, I forgot, everyone should speak English right...and it's wrong for them not to

Well said
Floating Fox Posted 29 October 2006 Posted 29 October 2006 Personally I didnt think The QPR fans were that bad..I've heard worse. Not like we sung our hearts out either.... <_<

Floating Fox Posted 29 October 2006 Posted 29 October 2006 prawn* sandwich How about Prawn and Cress?
Daggers Posted 29 October 2006 Posted 29 October 2006 On Tuesday, I shall be mostly drinking mushroom soup from a flask and enjoying a tasty cheddar cheese sandwich with some Walkers S&V crisps. Cress, pah!
Tommeh Posted 29 October 2006 Posted 29 October 2006 On Tuesday, I shall be mostly drinking mushroom soup from a flask and enjoying a tasty cheddar cheese sandwich with some Walkers S&V crisps. Cress, pah! so long as it is walkers. Stay loyal to the stadium name
Finnegan Posted 29 October 2006 Posted 29 October 2006 Dunno if this has been said, I only read the first post (lazy twat, me) - but the attendance wasn't really that bad. Besides the end of the stand near us (to our right), it seemed to be about 85%, 90% full. Though they did only break into song a couple of times towards the end. Were fooking awful. I didn't think we were that great on Saturday, but they were dire.

multipack Posted 30 October 2006 Posted 30 October 2006 thought the atmosphere was ok on saturday. thought there was more than 12000 fans, it seemed not that empty!!! nice little stadium :-) Leicester should have built the stands closer to the pitch like QPRs and the kop like the stand behind their goals.
Guest Posted 30 October 2006 Posted 30 October 2006 What kind of comment is this Thracian? Oh, I forgot, everyone should speak English right...and it's wrong for them not to What makes me laugh is that people think us Brits have every right to go and retire to Spain/Greece/Cyprus/Portugal/Canaries without the need to learn another language.
Thracian Posted 30 October 2006 Posted 30 October 2006 What makes me laugh is that people think us Brits have every right to go and retire to Spain/Greece/Cyprus/Portugal/Canaries without the need to learn another language. I've no idea what thousands of emigrants think. But for this Brit, I have no desire to retire anywhere but England thanks. In fact I've little inclination to put up with the ever increasing trials of travelling abroad at all nowadays.

Damn right, some of those bloody foreigners talk in pictures - they don't use real letters and words like use. And they don't have proper toilets.
