The Queens Park Rangers supporters trust, QPR 1st, have condemned the club for further increasing ticket prices.

Admission to some areas of Loftus Road will cost �40 or �50 for some games.

In a statement, QPR 1st said the decision "is unjustified and will have a serious effect on the relationship between the club and its supporters."

The trust say they sympathise with Derby County, who have refused to accept the prices set for their fans for the game at QPR on 27 September.

The Rangers board caused dismay among many supporters by drastically increasing the cost of season tickets in the summer.

And this week the Championship club, owned by Formula One magnates Bernie Ecclestone and Flavio Briatore as well as Indian billionaire Lakshmi Mittal, announced another hike in matchday prices.

The QPR 1st statement added: "We regret to say that the club's action is consistent with its policy towards the pricing of season tickets, which was also dealt with in an insensitive and brash manner.

"The board of directors claims to take pride in QPR as a family club whilst expanding a prohibitive pricing structure that will fail to encourage families and young supporters to the club.

"In view of calls for protests from other supporters groups and on messageboards, we will be canvassing our members to find out whether there is majority support for the trust formally participating in such action."

QPR say the increase in prices is needed as part of a financial restructure.

In a statement to BBC London 94.9, the club said: "Since the takeover, the club has had massive investment, for both on and off the pitch activities.

"The board has considered it a necessity to increase match-day prices to maintain budgets previously set. We are totally committed to building a sound financial base for the future."
