Josh Houston Ipswich Town 2nd January Charlie Robinson Rotherham United 18th March Comment on getting away from the ground after the game: After the game we were marshalled towards White City Tube Station is was not that busy as the crowd was around 13, Summary of overall thoughts of the day out: Although we lost it was still a good away day.

Alex Reading 5th August This was my third trip to Loftus Road. QPR like any London club is one of the easiest and localist game's to go to from Reading. This time I had to go a different way to get to the Loftus Road Stadium by train from my previous two visits because of all the upgrade works that were going on at London Waterloo Railway Station. I first had to get the train from Fleet to Basingstoke, then a train from Basingstoke up to Reading.

At Reading I got the train to London Paddington. Which is about minutes walk from the Loftus Road ground. Loftus Road isn't that impressive the very first time I went I didn't even realise that it was the stadium looking from the outside. Inside the ground is a bit cramped. There isn't much room in the concourse area and the leg room between seats is tight as well. They served Carlsberg lager and cider in plastic bottles. They also served hot dogs and pies but they didn't sell any pies on this particular occasion as they weren't cooked, so that was annoying.

We were pretty awful in the game and ended up losing and having a player sent off QPR are a team we never seem to play well against for some weird reason. The atmosphere was pretty poor from QPR even though they won the game. Not a good day both in terms of the match result, complicated train journey and the lack of refreshments in the stadium. Tom Neutral 28th October I have never to been to Loftus Road before and was in London for a gig so wanted to take in a match.

I love tight atmospheric grounds and was looking forward to my visit. I didn't see any other supporters at all on the Underground so would imagine most supporters live locally and walk to the ground.

I would imagine parking to be a struggle. Supporters mingled along South Africa Road with no problems, the Wolves fans were quite vocal. I went straight to the ground from my hotel. QPR fans are usually very friendly and had no problems here. There were very few Police on duty considering that Wolves had brought a sizeable away following.

Loftus Road is not one of these grounds that you see from a distance as you walk up to it, it is exactly as it looks in the pictures. Very tight and compact, with great views of the action, despite QPR not pulling up any trees in the league the game was well attended. Despite its compactness, the atmosphere was a little sedate. There were random pockets of singing from the home support, Wolves were louder but likewise did not sustain the noise over the game. Seats lacked in legroom and in order to access the concourse, I had to walk through the adjacent block.

The concourse on the South Africa Road stand was very narrow and congested and was difficult to get served at half time. Alcoholic drinks available were either Carlsberg Lager or Somersby Cider. For the record, QPR won the game I left when the 90 minutes were up to avoid congestion on leaving the ground so no problems. I would imagine it being a bit of a problem otherwise. Overall visiting Loftus Road is an unfussy laid back experience.

I'd have like to have a little more atmosphere though. Shaun Leeds United 9th December The following year was the first time I saw Leeds play when again my Dad took me here and Allan Clarke scored the only goal to clinch the title showing my age now!

Parking at London grounds is rarely easy so as I had to fly into Heathrow anyway I live in Ireland I opted for the tube which was simple enough. Loftus Road is in suburbia and unlike Brentford is lacking in pubs so we went on the recommendation of this website! It allows away fans in and was showing the lunchtime game but was lacking in atmosphere.

Home fans were fine, no aggro whatsoever. Loftus Road is a small ground, and the foyer area in the away stand was surprisingly narrow. The seating is quite tight with little leg room as often is the case with older grounds. You had to keep producing your ticket to return to your seat even during the second half.

You were treated as a threat waiting to happen rather than innocent until proven guilty. As for the game the first half was a goalless forgettable half, and the last thing we expected was to see four goals in the second half. It was easy enough. We walked to White City Station and got a Central train to Ealing Most away fans were using the district so that was much busier.

Overall it was good because we got a rare win in the capital and a first win over QPR in six matches. But the lack of atmosphere and the strict stewarding did spoil it a little.

Ryan Hunt Bristol City 23rd December With Bristol City in dreamland after beating Manchester United in the League Cup the previous Wednesday and the fact we are fighting for promotion, then this was a game not to be missed. I got the train to London Paddington.

From there the visitors end was about 10 minutes away by foot. We went into a Wetherspoons for breakfast outside Baker Street Tube Station and pretty much stayed in their until it was time to hop back on the tube to Wood Lane.

The home fans were alright I suppose a couple of 12 year olds giving it the 'big'un' and a guy with an air horn and a sombrero who loved to dish out as much abuse as what he took from us but it was all good in the end and a mutual applause broke out between ourselves and him after the match.

To be brutally honest the ground is poor and way past its sell-by date. We took 2, fans and believe me when I say claustrophobic doesn't even begin to describe the concourse.

The game was very bland, to be honest, and despite the guy with the air horn, the QPR fans didn't offer a lot in terms of vocal support until Aden Flint put the ball into his own net but even then it was still quite dull, City dominated the last 30 minutes and were very unlucky not to get all three points as Woodrow missed from two yards and we hit the post twice.

Thanks to a Bobby Reid penalty we came away with a point to keep the pressure on Cardiff in second place in the League, behind Wolves. Again due to the narrow concourse it was a bit of a rumble to get out but once we had cleared the traffic it was a simple ten minute walk back to Wood Lane Tube Station. From there it was a simple ten minute tube journey back to Paddington for the train home. It wasn't too bad I guess. A rather underwhelming match and a bit of a poor ground means this is one away day I won't remember in a hurry.

Will I go back again? Probably not as I have been three times now with every experience being pretty much the same.

Lewis Young Neutral 6th January We got the train down from Leighton Buzzard to London and it was very easy. The train was direct to Shepherds bush and on time. Loftus Road was fairly easy to get to, although we did use Google Maps. We couldn't find one and later found out that there is was close to the ground.

Instead, we got a burger from outside the away end and it was probably the nicest burger I've ever had at a football ground. From outside, Loftus Road Stadium looks like a classic old school ground. Inside, the concourse isn't too big. There was very little leg room so we decided to move to the back of the stand and stood.

The game itself was pretty boring. The atmosphere from the home fans was absolutely dreadful, I don't think they sang one song. They sang consistently for the 90 minutes and supported the team. It made me want to go to more away games.

The stewards tried to move the supporters who were sitting in the wrong seats but didn't. Getting away from the ground was easy again: We remembered the way and got back to the station in plenty of time. Summary of overall thoughts of the day out:.

Mark Swift Bolton Wanderers 17th February It was a c hance to meet up with some friends and I always enjoyed visiting QPR previously. Loftus Road is a proper old school ground rather than a modern bland identikit stadium, that is all too common nowadays. Even though we were two couples we were refused entry. Same old fashioned ground, although the view seems to have got worse in recent years due to extra fencing, especially in the upper tier.

I a gree with other reviews which say the stewarding here is over the top. Excessive in number and a narrow entrance into the away end created long queues. I was pulled aside by a steward at the entrance and asked my name and to provide proof of ID or I'd be refused entry, something I've never come across at any football ground and which I took offence to. I then had to go through multiple ticket checks before getting inside and as other reviews have commented each time you leave your seat to go down to the concourse you're asked to produce it.

Why they do this then I do not know, but it is unnecessary and does nothing to create a positive experience. The n arrow concourse creates a bottleneck at the end when everybody leaves, but once out of the ground it was an easy walk to White City Station.

Although Bolton lost , it is not a ground that I will be going back to. In fact it reminds me as to why I love going to lower and non-league football. Jack Tyldsley Bolton Wanderers 17th February It was a trip down to London and another ground to tick off. They were in and around the relegation zone like us so it was a game we had a chance in.

We set off from Bolton at in order to meet our mate for lunch in London. We were staying at his apartment for the night so once we had arrived in London at around , we soon found his place.

We dumped our bags and had lunch in Shoreditch before catching the tube from Liverpool Street to White City, which was less than ten minutes walk from the ground. The ground looked very small and ugly from outside and after being diverted through many back streets we arrived at the turnstile and were greeted by a queue of around Bolton fans waiting to enter the ground.

After we eventually got in, the ground looked very basic and small. We had a decent view but we ended up standing due to the severe lack of leg room. The Bolton fans were in good voice, hoping for a decent result for once. We were very poor again, losing , with both goals coming in the second half after our right back had been sent off harshly. The atmosphere was brilliant in the away end with the Bolton fans singing all the way through the game.

However the home fans probably sang one song all day, the atmosphere in the home end was poor. The concourse was very small and cramped, but the main problem was our performance. After finally working our way through the packed concourse, we caught a tube back into the city centre very easily, and we were back in London by Great atmosphere and trip, but the performance and quality of the ground were lacking.

Another ticked off. Joe Spellman Sunderland 10th March With us being in horrific form and lacking any sign of revival we expected nothing from the match itself. However having never been to Loftus Road it was a good opportunity to mark another ground off the list. We got the Underground from Kings Cross to Shepherd's Bush from there to the ground was a straightforward ten minute walk.

Pre-Match we opted for Belushi's Bar within the Vue complex. Although it is the only recommend away friendly bar within the vicinity of the ground. Yet it had little atmosphere and almost empty. Therefore we decided to head to the ground and cut our losses. The home supporters we met seemed quite friendly. Loftus Road is a tight, compact old school ground hidden within endless apartment blocks and houses, the away end entrance is located around the back of the stadium.

However, be prepared for a thorough search on entering. The concourse is very cramped and worn down and before kick off gets very crowded and almost immovable if your side sells out the stand. The stewards were very strict and were constantly shouting in our lads ears about standing. The game was very poor contested by two weak sides, the first half was very tight however when Jason Steele for us was sent off for handling the ball outside his box, we knew the game was over and we eventually lost The atmosphere was very poor for a team doing reasonably well and hardly sang all game.

Comment on getting away from the ground after the game:. We walked back to White City this time and got the tube back to Kings Cross which was quiet and simple. Adrian Hurst Sheffield Wednesday 10th April I h adn't been to Loftus Road for many years and due to being abroad for a considerable time it was one of the few occasions this season when I could get to an away game. I t ravelled by car from my home in South Wales and after doing research on the immediate area around the ground discovered that many side streets had free parking after 5pm.

Easily managed to park just around the corner from the away end. I h ad a walk down to Bellushi's, the away fans pub, but only had one drink. Then walked back towards the ground and got a KFC. No bother at all from the home fans, despite clearly wearing my colours.

A very poor ground, atrocious seating, terrible view, crushing on the concourse due to the sheer numbers and stewards that seemed to have all had a personality bypass! Wednesday missed a couple of relatively easy chances to get back in the game before conceding a sloppy penalty. In the last 30 minutes we finally woke up and scored 2 goals but it was too little too late and we lost Despite being in front early on, the QPR fans were amazingly quiet — very little enthusiasm at all from their supporters.

For some unknown reason we had to leave the ground at the opposite side to where we came in. When I asked a steward why it was 'because it has always been done that way'. Much crushing when trying to get out and going down the steps is another accident waiting to happen. An away day in the Big Smoke is always an exciting prospect. My mate and I had had the train tickets booked since January for this one and were both looking forward to ticking off another old-school ground.

We got the train from Wakefield Kirkgate to King's Cross, arriving 25 minutes late which just gave us time to catch the Circle line to Shepherd's Bush Market. This is actually the nearest to the ground for away fans on foot; about 7 minutes at a good pace. Take a right out of the station onto Uxbridge Road, fourth right onto Loftus Road, first left onto Ellerslie Road and keep going until you reach the back of the queue!

As mentioned above we had to make our way straight to the ground from King's Cross. However, we'd had Belushi's recommended for away fans by the club and police, which probably would've been our port of call had we had the time. Approaching from the direction we did there wasn't a great deal to see, other than a bit of blue cladding and the floodlights. Very reminiscent of Griffin Park, just a different colour! I must say that, as described in other reviews on this site, the away end is very, very cramped.

Without being disrespectful, the concourse is really a glorified fire escape which is totally unfit for purpose. I went straight to my seat while my mate battled his way to the loo and back.

When I did find my way to my seat, there was virtually no legroom and at 5'8" even I struggled. This isn't as big a problem if like us, you stand for most of the game but I imagine it'd get uncomfortable pretty quickly for those who don't. The rest of the stadium I assume is much the same due to its size and the consequent constraints.

It's a classic old ground, however I'd take the lower standing section at Griffin Park over this any day. It was a good view, only really requiring a crane of the neck if you wanted to see a corner being taken from the far side. This is however a fair chunk to fork out and I'm not sure the view would be half as good in the Silver seats.

The stewards were rather forceful and shouty on the way in — though I suppose they were keen to get everyone in as quickly as possible. Be prepared to take off jackets and bags to be searched. Thankfully it was a gorgeous day — I dread to imagine queueing there and stripping off in poor weather or on a cold Tuesday night in winter!

Once inside there was barely room to reach the steps to the stand, let alone queue for refreshments so I gave that up as a bad job. The game itself was an example of a great comeback.

QPR went ahead on 13 minutes courtesy of Matt Smith after we failed to deal with the rebound from a free kick. This had horrible echoes of the goal we conceded only a week earlier, on almost the same minute, at Reading. We fought hard to get back in a scrappy first half, equalising on It was a somewhat restrained celebration for a moment, as there was some doubt as to whether the ball had crossed the line, especially amongst us away fans at the opposite end.

The referee's watch came to the rescue. In the second half we came out much sharper and deservedly went ahead. Again I felt somewhat inhibited celebrating the winner as we had earlier had the ball in the net only to have it disallowed for offside. We continued to press and eventually saw out the win which put us within three points of the play-off places. This suddenly seems to have changed everything in terms of our end-of-season prospects, just like that.

That's the Championship for you! There was a bit of a wait to exit the ground, probably due to the squeeze in the concourse. We were shepherded out of the opposite end of the stand to where we had entered, emerging in South Africa Road. We took the Central Line from White City tube station about a 10 minute walk away into central London for some dinner and a drink or two before catching the train back to Wakefield.

A win in the capital on a gorgeous day — always good. It'll be interesting to see where this result takes us towards the end of the season. As for the ground, it suffers from the classic problems of being hemmed-in by houses and streets in inner-city London. The place does have character and the away end can really get some noise going, but it is just so cramped.

Having said all that, I do think it's wise to have an open mind to these things when going to the football and to just try and enjoy the match. It's all about the game at the end of the day, and corporate boxes and executive seating exist for a reason! Andy Newman Aston Villa 26th October I hadn't visited Loftus Road since the seventies as was keen to see it again. No problem as I was on a supporters coach and we parked a short walk away from the stadium. Comment on getting away from the ground after the game: The away end was full so took a long time to get through the concourse, but once back in coach we got away quickly.

Anselm Winner Brentford 10th November Having been to nearly all the derbies in London with the Bees, the only one I hadn't been to was QPR, although they are our closest neighbours.

Therefore I was pretty buzzing to see my team take on the R's at Loftus Road. My trip to the stadium was relatively easy. I simply hopped on a local bus to White City and within about 30 minutes I had reached Shepherds Bush. I then took a five minute walk down a narrow road to the Loftus Road Stadium.

Being an idiot I had left it very late to travel to the game. Therefore I was in a bit of a rush to get there so didn't have time to wander around the Shepherds Bush area nor mix with the opposing supporters. I am always a fan of old stadiums as they have some form of character and identity compared with often uninspiring bowls as their replacement.

So it was a welcome feel to see an old-style ground with retro turnstiles and a retro feel. Most reviews of this ground on this website come from the upper tier of the away end as it usually the only one accessible to fans.

But today I was going into the lower tier, therefore, getting a different perceptive of the football. As not only are you at pitch level your view is also not hampered by restricted slight lines so you got a clear view of what was happening.

However, not everything in this review is positive. Firstly the matchday programmes sold out, a first for me, meaning I had to end my 3 year run of contentious programme collecting at every Brentford game. The front of the lower tier where I was seated had no roof protection, so I got completely drenched by the monsoon rains that fell on London that afternoon.

The concourse at the back of the stand was very narrow and with so many fans trying to push through at half time, it was not pleasant at all. Therefore no food was bought as I gave up and also narrowly missed the start of the second half. I would say the atmosphere from the home fans was surprisingly good compared with the usual crowds they have. This allowed Brentford fans to have some forms of banter with the home fans if you can call it that.

The stewarding seemed very forceful and not that friendly. To cap it all, the game resulted in a disastrous loss for Brentford and the injury of two of our main players. You couldn't make it up! The exit seemed to be extremely narrow due to construction cutting it in half making the long painful day feel even worse. I also lost my zip card on the way out meaning I was not able to get the bus forcing me to walk 45 minutes home in the pouring freezing cold rain.

Bad but may have been better if the weather had been fine and the result had been different. But visiting Loftus Road was an interesting experience that will stay with me for a long time if perhaps a painful one!

Mike Gover Portsmouth 5th February I was looking forward to this game as its a ground that I have not visited. The game ended in a draw so was I looking forward to their support in their own backyard. Before the game, we went to a Tesco Express about a five-minute walk from the ground to grab a sandwich and a drink.

From the outside, the ground looks like a concrete jungle and it's difficult to really see anything. Inside the ground, it's a bit run down and very enclosed. The other three home stands looked alright. The stewards were really helpful but they looked a bit intimidated by the away fans. The atmosphere from us Pompey fans was class as there was 2, of us in attendance on a Tuesday night singing loud and proud even though we lost The home fans were so quiet it was embarrassing, the only QPR fans that made any noise was just right of the away end and probably about of them singing.

Mark Hogan Watford 15th February Yes Having made the last 16 and not having been to QPR for several years due to playing in different leagues, it was a local game I was looking forward to. Loftus Road is a very compact small stadium, which generates plenty of noise. Unfortunately, the view in the School Away End is very restricted and with everyone standing I could barely see the goal or corner flags.

The game itself was very flat, especially the first half where we created next to nothing and were very fortunate to go in at the break one up with our only shot on target. We managed to hold out the second half but Rangers can consider themselves very unlucky to get nothing out of the game. It was very easy getting away from the ground, I just made my way straight to the Uxbridge road to get the bus home.

Philip Green Stoke City 9th March I had visited Loftus Road once before in , but my memories of it were soured by having a gammy leg at the time and I remember wincing through the game and being incredibly cramped. So I decided it was time for a return visit. I had hoped to go with my neighbour Paul a lifelong Hoops fan , but he said he'd rather stick pins in his eyes after the way that Rangers had been playing lately!

What could possibly go wrong? Having looked at the advice on these pages, I decided to catch a train into London and then jumped on the tube to Shepherd's Bush Market.

This was a short walk from the ground and the floodlights were already on when I arrived in the area. Matthew Connolly. James Coppinger. Jordan Cousins. Jackie Crawford. Reece Crowther.
