The rows in South Africa Road with the letters painted in the Wrong Order 11:15 - Aug 24 with 1449 viewsnumptydumpty

Two of the back three rows in South Africa Road stand have been labelled incorrectly for years. It is painted T , then Y then blank, then X. It should be T, V, W, X. I sent the club and email and said the Y needs to be a V and the blank needs to be a W.

It would not take much at all to sort this out, but it's irritating, seeing all people that come once every so often, looking extremely confused and regulars having to help many people each game with their confusion.

I was told, thank you for taking the time to raise this issue and that they would be passing this issue onto the relevant person and department concerned.

There has been no further contact.

Ie it's not my job, it's probably Bob's or Jim's, or perhaps it's in Christian's inbox to approve, because am certain such important matters are something that he needs to approve or take no further action. Even, I dont believe, he approves that, but thought would post this, because it says a lot about the whole dynamics of the football club in every department.


It's a simple thing and tbh it's incredibly amateur to have rows labelled incorrectly and to occasional visitors sends out an image of a club that's a little bit Sunday league.Just did it to help them out, but my request has been lost in email limbo land and I don't expect to ever be dealt with.


It's a very minor issue but can't help thinking as with too many cooks in coaching, methodology, individual training, defence training, set piece training, performance Director, assistant head coach to the assistant youth team methodology manager, my email request needs approval for this action to be acted upon by Bill or Bob.

I think on Saturday, I will take a paint pot and paint brush in with me..........


It's a ten minute job !!!!!


But apparently not. It's with the relevant department awaiting further action....

The lettering has been the problem all along.

It's completely irrelevant but not at the same time........

Should be renamed “The Eric and Ernie Stand”. They are all the correct letters but not necessarily in the right order.

If you can't get the small/minor things right how are you going to fix the bigger issues. Complacency starts at the bottom and works upwards.

If they can't get the little things right, are they going to get the big things right?

My seat is right there at the top of the staircase and I often spend the first 10mins after kickoff redirecting people into the correct row and telling them it is V not Y.

Doesn’t help when I actually stand on the X as it is directly under my seat

At least they were close. Capital V is close in its appearance to Capital Y.

However, i did learn the alphabet personally when i was around five or six years old, liike most of us but it seems its quite a challenge for the well oiled corporate machine that is QPR FC !!!

I bet the club being abbreviated to QPR has had them challenged when labelling rows P, Q and R in the correct order..

Bob's got his work cut out !!!! 😂😂😂😂😂

I'll sort it out next time I'm in the Qnuees Antvre.

Edit, might treat myself to a pint of regal whilst there.

Its been like it you several seasons, the stewards are useless in assisting the confused visitors. They just shrug their shoulders and hope us ST holders help out. Having said that, don't get the club to change the lettering, its the only entertainment I've had at HQ for years.

Haha this is somewhere between comical and infuriating.

There isn't a lot of pride taken of the place in general is there? As someone else pointed out this weekend - Look at the difference between how our owners treat our club and the pride the Hollywood prats have in theirs - like them or hate them. It's night and day.

When moved seat, the new season ticket sign with my name was a printer post it label and they put my friends name down with my surname on his, upgrading him to the brother i never knew i had.

Amateurish in the extreme really, i guess, but then 30 years ago, if you went into the bogs, you often needed to wear your waders whilst in there !!!

Progress...
