Straight on to another ground. This is Loftus Road, the home of Queens Park Rangers. First game 1904. Capacity 18439. Record attendance 35353.

What I think is interesting is that although Queens Park Rangers have a ground which can hold just 18439 people, Queen's Park and Rangers separately have grounds which can each hold about 51000. They are both clubs from Glasgow. They were rivals in the top Scottish division in the early 20th century but then Rangers became one of Scotland's very top clubs and Queen's Park, being a strictly amateur club, sank the the fourth division. In 2012, Rangers went bankrupt and the replacement club entered the league in the fourth division, meaning that there was actually a Queen's Park v Rangers game in 2013.
