How, after years and years of absolutely garbage pre-seasons, have we ended up with two of the top 5 teams in the country coming to Loftus Road (KPFS) this summer?
Might be two absolute hammerings, might set a decent standard to give us a good start, might mean a couple of loans coming, might mean a couple of talents leaving. |  | | |  |

I assume it's because they can't travel to the usual pre season tournaments in the States or Asia so are having UK friendlies instead. |  | | |

Games like this should bring in much needed revenue either via gate receipts or streaming.
Good move by the club |  | | |

That and the Euros meaning they are likely to start pre season later due to so many players likely to be busy until July 11th, well the french ones anyway |  | | |

Also I think Warburton knows a lot of people and has a decent reputation. And he's not going to field a team that will try and kill Premiership players. |  | | |

Great , now all we need is Lee Mason to ref the game .
I have a mental picture of him emerging from the tunnel pointing to the spot for a penalty to ...... MANCHESTER UNITED !!!!!!!! | | | |

Not so far to travel for the United fans that want to attend, just a quick tube journey....
Mostly though, apart from the lack of Asia/Dubai based pre-season shite, I reckon it's a lot to do with our style of play as a ball-playing team with young, technical players. We don't really play like a typical Championship team.
This level of 'recognition' is also good within football circles. It raises our status with the PL and we're seen to be a club doing the right things, especially for younger players and development, which could mean more trust with prospects/loans and that any players we bring through that go to market, have the right attributes. |  |

How many of those pre seasons have we had a full time manager in place for more than a whole season? Warnock? |  | | |

Agree with this.
Really think Warburton is doing excellent things at our football club. I do hope that if we have a bad spell this season similar to end of 2020, that we all keep the faith and realise the bigger picture and the job he is doing… |  | | |

Really sorry to see him go .
In fairness quite why the Premier league thought it a good idea to have a ref from Bolton take MANCHESTER UNITED at home to QPR is beyond me . | | | |

The only time I can remember my Dad being really angry, he was 73 at the time, not even a QPR fan, in fact I think it was his first ever QPR game. Cantona scored just as Trevor Mcdonald started reading the news at ten  |  |

Sport science being such an exact erm...science these days is why I can't get excited by these.
PL starts a week later than us so no way will these two, especially Man Utd, be playing at anything like top gear. | | | |

Hmmm I'm in two minds, the Lions Second Test against the Boks is on at 5pm. Is there any pub I can get to within 10 minutes walk of LR that's child friendly likely to show live sports? [Post edited 22 Jun 2021 14:53]

It's probably just as well as it does level the laying field a bit. If we could get a result against either team, it would be good for our confidence, irrespective of who plays for the opposition, and would go down extremely well with us fans. | | | |

Suspect this is right - and I wouldn't be surprised if we pick up loans from both clubs before the window closes. | | | |
