    So it costs the same for a family of four supporting QPR as it does for one juvenile supporting Barnsley

    Even more glad I'm not going now

    I remember at Palarse years ago

    About 50 people in the boozer up the road heard the tickets were £25 a head.

    We all decided money was spent better behind the bar

    Especially as match was on sky

    For what the QPR fans get for £20 it would cost Barnsley fans £100 plus the rest!

    If I was a Dad of two I'd be telling them to wait for the Donny Rovers game

    Save your money and don't go.

    It's that simple.

    The prices are ******* scandalous anyway, and if they're doing deals for the home fans then **** them.

    It's QPR who are losing out after all.

    We charged home fans £5 for the Forest game last year and £20 for away fans. Everyone was laughing at Forest for the way they acted during that scenario, what's different?

    Some folk have short memories.

    RE: Save your money and don't go.

    Well said Scott. Different for some now the boot is on the other foot. Nowt wrong with them wanting to treat their own fans. They aren't obliged to help our fans out. Why would they? For the cheaper price (which would make them little money) it would result in more away fans cheering us on.

    A family of 4 to for the QPR fans - £20

    A family of 4 for the Forest game last season - £20

    Yes, £20 for a 4 year old is ******* ridiculous. £30 for an adult is too expensive aswell - the solution to solve it is don't go, QPR are losing out after all. With fans not turning up to games won't that then signal that they need to lower prices to entice fans into the stadium? Is that not a win, win situation?

    Chill 'rt, we never get 'owt down there anyway.

    Save thee money for Pikeys game next month. :)

    If it doesn't involve you then chill the **** 'rt. :)

    I doubt many families of 4 will make the journey down anyway, 3-4 hours on coach/car is along way to travel for restless kids don't you think?

    Of coure their's always the southern based reds, though i doubt they'll be prepared to pay those price anyway.

    Why would you take a 4 year old to an away match?!

    Erm remember Leicester did this against us too i think they reduced the price for home fans - clubs are allowed to do it. We usually do it in the dying stages of the season and it usually backfires - least you get to watch dreamboy whinge about it though.

    What's he whinging about exactly?

    Like he says QPR are obliged to give offers to their fans, why would they give a **** about Barnsley? Just like we didn't offer the Forest fans the £5 ticket offer.

    They'll probably realise we won't bring many down anyway, so it entices their fans to come and over power the away support even more.

    Therefore giving the home team an advantage, simples.
