Brentford taking their full allocation 08:11 - Jul 29 with 9969 views | dandaqpr | Looks like they have an interest in reminding us on how well they’re doing. QPR fans on the whole don’t seem to do friendlies , but on this occasion our apathy will be used by them to show how well supported they are compared to us. It’s cobblers of course, but it won’t be a good look. So turn up if you can and deny them their PR stunt. |  | | |  |
Brentford taking their full allocation on 18:36 - Jul 30 with 2404 views | eastside_r | Slightly off-topic, but I wonder if anyone can help my recollection of an incident in a Brentford-QPR pre-season many years ago. I am thinking it must have been summer 2000 (pre-season 2000-2001) as I recall Peter Crouch coming on as sub, one of his earliest appearances for us. The incident in question was a bad tackle on Paul Murray by one of the Brentford players. I think Murray had to go off, perhaps even stretchered off and this was after he had previously had that long lay-off. I think he may consequently have missed several games early in the season proper that followed. I (for reasons I’ll not bore you with) was watching the game from the Press Box and when the challenge happened, there was almost a collective intake of breath and the consensus seemed to be that it looked like the Brentford player had ‘done him deliberately’. (This would only have been local journos and media.) Does any one else remember this incident or is my memory playing tricks on me? Can anyone remember who the Brentford player was?

Brentford taking their full allocation on 14:37 - Jul 30 by DavieQPR | Go to your website and look to purchase a ticket for your first home game. £130 each £260 the pair. That's the cheapest ones on sale. |
Those must be Hospitality Packages, in a Lounge, hence only sold in pairs. (I say "must be", because you can't actually access the Hospitality Prices online, need to phone). Alternatively, you may be looking at some outside Ticketing Website i.e. licensed touts? Post a screenshot. Meanwhile, here is the tariff for the game as per the official site (Villa is Cat.B): https://www.brentfordfc.com/en/ticketing-guide This shows General Admission to be £40, or £30 for Seniors/Young Adults/Family, and £!0 for U-18's. Btw, I think those prices are in the bottom 3 or 4 in the Prem, with BFC being one of just two teams to freeze prices from last season. [Post edited 30 Jul 22:01]

Brentford taking their full allocation on 15:57 - Jul 30 by dmm | I usually go to home friendlies but I find this fixture a strange one and won't be attending. Pre-season games are arranged to achieve a number of things. among them to instill confidence in the squad that the head coach/manager has a strategy that works. So why arrange the final friendly against a team that has superior players and will want to beat us on a number of scores. It doesn't make any sense to me. |
I very much doubt their current players share the QPR obsession of their fans. |  | |  |

Brentford taking their full allocation on 13:54 - Jul 29 by NewBee | Eh? By "only sold in pairs at tickle under £130 each", I assume you don't mean £260. And even £130 a pair/£65 each is misleading, since those are the top priced "Dugout" tickets, which as well as the best seats in the house, offer other benefits (own bar etc). Which reflects that all other tickets have sold out for that game and I don't expect there will be too many Dugout seats left, either. Aside from that, adult tickets range from £30 (Family Section) through £40, £45 and £50 before you get to Dugout, with decent discounts for concessions. All of which is before you get to Season Tickets, which offer even better discounts eg my own Adult ST in the West Stand ("home end") works out at £23 per game. Which for PL football with Safe Standing, and an excellent view in a modern stadium offers excellent value (imo). Perhaps you're mistaking us with Fulham? |
In fact, your season ticket prices are lower than QPR's. Palace have frozen their seson ticket prices too and are comfortably below QPR's. If I were to buy a new gold season ticket at QPR it would cost £817. I believe your highest price is about £815 and Palace's is about £790! It's no surprise they have about 18,000 season ticket holders to consistently bring the noise. Millwall's highest season ticket price: circa £600. [Post edited 31 Jul 0:53]

Agreed. Would also be good to see something close to the starting 11 for PNE and a system/formation that we plan to start most games with. I'd be tempted to play four CBs across the back and see if that works, rather than have Larkeche as a starter. I think he has a role to play as a sub going forward but you can't start him and Dembele on the left together. Assuming Nardi is on his way out... Walsh Dunne, Cool, Morrison, ??? (whoever is most left sided) Varane (if he's not waiiting for a move) or Morgan, Field Poku, Chair, Dembele Frey , Celar or Burrell (hope it's Burrell to start and get at least 60mins) |  |
| Those possessed by devils, try and keep them under control a bit, can't you ?

No, but I do remember Crouch's first game at that. Never would've thought he'd become the player he did. |  | |  |

No I don't remember that either, but do recall Crouch playing and Bankole impersonating a goalkeeper. Possibly the first sighting of Stuart Wardley too? |  |

The only thing I recollect from a pre-season friendly with Brentford is being on that lower terrace in the two tiered stand behind the goal watching Massimo Mauro play for us. |  | |  |

I know it's a friendly but 5/2 QPR today looks decent. |  | |  |
