    Not really a great location, hospital, prison poor access etc. Would rather stay at Loftus Road

      I understand what you are saying but there aren't any available sites, large enough in a great location. I think this could be a winner. I have raced there (Linford Christie stadium) a number of times, and the proximity of the prison and hospital has not been an issue. There are no good pubs around there, but hopefully some would pop up if the move did happen.

        I'm not sure why people keep raising hospital there are loads of grounds right beside a hospital Fulham and Chelsea to name just two. Wherever a club puts a ground, unless it's out of town like reading which non of us will want, there will be other buildings and infrastructure issues just the same as there are at our current ground

            Unfortunately Loftus Road is an artificial glass ceiling for the club.

            If we're happy being medium, or average, then stay at Loftus, re-build it? Not sure how they'd fund that. But it'll never be the facility required to generate a team or funds required to sustainably challenge for, anything really, other than where we are now.

              Always worries me when athletics and football combine, we voted many months back for a compact stadium, closed to the pitch. Athletics doesn't lend itself to this ideal. As good as location as we are likely to get though. Wasn't this on the cards a few years back?

                  Once again, the athletics track will be adjacent to the football stadium and not alongside the pitch.

                    It talks of two different stadium one for football and one for athletics. On a separate note, athletics fans don't like the sharing either. Unless there are large crowds at major championships, the (few) people who come to watch athletics don't create much of an atmosphere in large stadiums.

                          Cant see any negatives if it actually goes ahead aside from pubs by what people are saying! Only being a mile from loftus road is brilliant too!!! I pray to god though that its not a fancy souless bowl stadium. Hopefully itll be designed to look like a more modern loftus road with better leg room and facilities!! I love our home the same way you love your first car, you dont wanna get rid of it but its got too many problems.

                          Wonder what it'd be called though? Not too fussed what its called tbh but itd be nice if it was named after the area or qpr

                              I imagine it would be a sponsored stadium name.

                              I understand the limits at LR commerciallly but think a new stadium would just have empty hospitality as we don't fill all the boxes now!
