Football Clubs News | Football Supporters News

Fans of Queens Park Rangers have voiced their displeasure with the club's request for supporters not to stand up during matches at Loftus Road.

According to a report from the Wembley and Kingsbury Times, fans believe that asking the crowd to stay seated at all times is killing the atmosphere at the stadium.

Meanwhile, other supporters believe that the request is representative of a growing "corporate" culture at the Championship club.

A recent article printed in the west London outfit's official match programme Hoops warned supporters against standing up in their seats.

Supporter Paul Finney told the newspaper: "It seems like QPR are going out of their way to ensure crowds at Loftus Road are as sparse and as quiet as possible."

Another Rangers fan, 35-year-old Owen James, added that there appears to be "more and more disillusion" among supporters.

Queens Park Rangers, who are currently fifth in the Championship, welcome Middlesbrough to Loftus Road on Saturday (December 5th).
