Fan left staring at a big steel container after paying for ticket with virtually no view of the pitch

A football fan has blasted QPR after shelling out nearly £40 on an away-end seat - that offers almost no view of the pitch.

Southampton supporter Sam White was horrified when he got to his seat at Loftus Road to watch the away clash with QPR, only to find his view was blocked.

Instead of watching his beloved Saints clinch a last-gasp 1-nil win in the Premiership match, Sam was forced to stare at a massive steel container - thought to be a commentary box - which obstructed the pitch.

Sam was a unable to see the 90th-minute goal, or indeed the kick-off, or the action at one end. He is now demanding a full refund for his £38 'restricted view' seat - because he reckons it was too restricted.

Sam is now demanding a refund, after the picture he tweeted from his seat went viral on Twitter. Queens Park Rangers FC has been approached for comment.
