Good away fixture imo.

[Thorpe-le-Saint]

Whoopeee doo! Oi, saintsfc.co.uk, no-one cares at the moment. Please tell us of inane 'non-news' when the takeover is complete!

[Andy_Porter]

Will prob go to that one, £10 for ticket and £16 train isn't bad at all.

Yeah might go too

[Bourno]

Discount for season ticket holders....2008/9 or 2009/10?

[1976_Child]

Yeah might go too

 

yeah. might go as well.

[sambosa75]

Great news! I live about a 20 minute walk away from Loftus Road!

[Hatch]

I'll probably be invited by Naomi Campbell or kate Moss or some other supermodel

[Thedelldays]

i have just wet myself at this news - how exciting

[Mole]

£15 for a bloody nothing pre-season friendly. Football has gone past the point of no return. Disgusting.

[tpbury]

I assume this is the forum team we're talking about, they're the only ones guaranteed to be playing next season.

Perfect timing. The announcement coincided with me pondering what to get my QPR supporting God Daughter for her birthday.

 

I'm not sure her parents would be to happy with me proposing to take her to the away end though - she's only one

[bungle]

Not often clubs play an away friendly at a side in the league above. Are we QPR's glamour friendly?!

 

Can't go anyway.

[kpturner]

Presumably in order to make the pre-season friendly arrangements somebody must be underwriting the cost - especially the home game with Ajax? Either covered by the Pinnacle deposit or are they paying more.....or is it LC?

[Matthew Le God]

Can't imagine the QPR fans being too excited at the prospect of a home friendly against a League One side.

 

The away end may outnumber the home end

[Mole]

Bournemouth at St Marys would have been more appealling than Ajax.

Amazed at the prices for friendlies these days. Are the people that set the prices that thick? It'll be mostly empty. Sell tickets for a fiver and you might get a decent crowd. It's a nothing game ffs, a training exercise.

 

This is QPR we are talking about, the people who charge £600 for a season ticket. That is of their cheapest as well!

Not quite, they are £440 to £585 now.

You might well be right, we are having a credit card system installed and this will be the 1st and only test before the season starts. We had to get a home game in against someone but this is the 1st time ever Ive seen a team at home to a lower league side.

 

Believe it or not, Saints are the best team we will face in pre season!

Christ!! Are your other games against the Shepherds Bush Womens Institute and the Ex-Service Paraplegic 11?

Actually, Wycombe away is the toughest, I thought they were in L2.

 

We turned down Parma to have this fixture, believe it or not. I think Lowe must secretly be our chairman now.

Parma will probably want paying and bring zero fans. We have at least 300 mugs willing to pay £15 for a friendly

[This Charming Man]

I got all excited when I saw the title in the news section - I thought they meant Glasgow Rangers, how dissapointed I was when I opened the article.

[skintsaint]

easy win

Look Steve, I know you're an administrator and all that but do you have to come on here talking about FOOTBALL?

[Viking Warrior]

Do QPR have a contingency plan if we go out of business?

 

Maybe they should have played Palma as they are not guaranteed to play us in a friendly unless they know a deal is imminent.
