Any views on whether it is bettter to go Upper or Lower Tier for this one?

I seem to remember from our last visit that they have moved the nearest goal forward so that the Upper Tier view is now fine.

You certainly do not want to be in the back six or seven rows of the top tier, regardless of whether they have moved the goal forwards slightly

Popular opinion is the Upper Tier but I'll be opting for lower given that I can get marginally more of my legs into the gap behing the seat in front. Unless of course we're all standing 8)

I've realised that my previous email may indicate I have more than the standard number of legs for a human. This is in fact incorrect.

Course i'm in. Just a bit worried about 30 minute rule? Is it a strict new rule, or just trying to make the usual blurb of taking seats 30 mins before kickoff a bit firmer. i.e if i show up at 2.59pm as usual will i get in the ground?

I remember they have been very strict in the past and refused entry to several drunk royals at the turnstiles and then a mass exodus of fans as people standing were also ejected.

Maybe the gayers can go in the lower, and the rest in upper?

We never produce our cards at the ticket office - they just take the names and addresses.

STAR Campaigns, in another thread I'm told this is all about the rate of entry to the ground - QPR only have 4 turnstiles at the away end to get visiting supporters through, and (for some clubs at least) they insist on searching everyone as well, which slows up the entry process.

So if you leave it for the last 15 minutes you're likely to miss kick off - QPR have received a lot of complaints because of this, and so they now issue a warning to arrive early.

I bet you do indeed have more than the average number of legs, just like most other people.
Possible number of legs is 0, 1, or 2.
99%+ of the population have 2 legs, and a much smaller percentage will have 1 or 0 legs. So the average (mean) number of legs will be 1.999 ...

I think they specify 20-30 minutes on the majority of away tickets. The fact that several drunk royals have been refused entry in the past is a different issue entirely.

(ps thanks for the clarification on my leg query UWG. I think I meant to say the mean number of legs as opposed to using the more generic average!)

Is the 2,000 tickets going on sale the capacity of the whole away end?

I don't think so as I'm pretty sure we've been allocated more than that in the past.
