Exact copy of the KC Stadium?

While calling it an exact copy is going a bit fair, it is quite similar using that view.

Loftus Road is a lovely old ground. I can see why QPR fans might not look to favourably on new stadia.

Old ground, shit facilities, rubbish food and horrible stewards. They can 'enjoy' it as long as they like.

Not really. The KC has no arches and shit floodlights (other than that though, is IS a very smart stadium).

The curved roof that over laps and the structure on the roof makes it look a bit like it, like I said by no means exact but you can see where he is coming from.

! wonder if the QPR fan who said it looked like the KC actually meant 'Udder's Mac alpine Stadium ? The Amex has the same design as that and both clubs' names begin 'Hu'.

Huddersfield's ground has four stands, each with their own roofs, so how is that the same design as the Amex - which palpably only has one roof?

I like Loftus Road too.....good atmosphere and always a good sing-song in the pub outside the ground....by both sets of fans.

It's just that I read a few years ago that what is now The Amex was based on that design.

It always amazes me that people seem to prefer modern McBowl stadiums to the proper atmospheric old ones - I didn't realise that how long you have to queue for a burger at half time was so detrimental to the football supporting experience (personally I prefer a good old terrace, low roof, close proximity with the pitch, traditional character but what do I know?). Also seems that a lot of people get very excited about aerial shots of new stadia - yes they're pretty but really it makes little difference to actually being inside it if the roof is a nic colour and has a nice swooping shape.

Don't forget that their arches are upside down.
That looks just plain weird.

But surely you can see with your own eyes today that they're nothing alike?!

I like Loftus Road as well. In fact it's possibly my favourite ground.

I've only been past it but now I come to think about it I remember that when it opened only two stands were ready. I don't have any hard and fast opinions about the Loftus Road but can't stand the area.

Funny how Loftus Road is one of those places that divides people. I think it's a tip, with terrible views and crap facilities.

I can see why some would like it but I'm not a fan.
