Getting to the ground absolutely fine .
Trying to get in as a disabled person in a chair a nightmare!
Went to one entrance was told to walk around to the other side of the ground. Went there was told ,no you can't get in here go around to where we had come from . So go back around to be told to go back to where we had just come from.!! At this point we refused to walk all the way around to the other entrance again to be told to go back to where we are standing.. In the end a member of staff took us back around the ground as apparently that was the right entrance to go in . He asked what staff checking the tickets kept telling us it wasn't the right entrance to go in for disabled people. We pointed the three young men out who quite clearly found it very amusing to be sending disabled people backwards and forwards.!
A big thanks to the member of staff who eventually got us in the ground and into the disabled area...
We go to alot of away matches over many years,and this has to be the worse experience of getting into a...
Read moreLoftus Road Stadium is one of the oldest and most intimate football grounds I've visited which on balance is good for Queens Park Rangers supporters. The stadium first and foremost is easily accessible by virtue of different train links. Also, seats more often not are close to the pitch which means you'll typically feel like you're on top of the action even if the view of the game from your seat is obstructed to some degree. That's often the case for the uninitiated by the way. There are downsides: forget about buying a beer or just about anything else at the break unless you leave your seat before the half is over. The food and drink service run by the Loftus Road Stadium operator is incredibly inefficient and archaic. As such, most miss out at the half including the club in the form of additional revenue. It's still a good place to watch football given the atmosphere, passionate fans and what's usually a competitive...
Read moreProper football stadium... loyal & vocal home fans are close to the pitch & noisily add a great atmosphere to the game. Away team fans are restricted in numbers though are equally vocal.
The stands at both ends have unobstructed views of the action. Views from stands along the touchlines are obstructed from about the 15th row back.
I suspect they were originally terraces because seats are small & legroom is not enough for most people.
Toilets woefully fall short of the demand before the game & at half-time. They wouldn't meet modern design standards.
These shortfalls can all be forgiven because the overall experience is typical of traditional English football stadiums... meaning mostly life-long fans gathering, after a week's work, to support their team. Even if their team loses more often than not, they will be back next week!
English football at any level is always worth watching. The...
