Why do folk off rich owners bother with the Championship. They'd have more fun betting.

Whatever your opinion of Flav and Co they did save us when we were seriously in the #### in 2007.Comment

They also gave us a higher profile to generate more revenue and yes he was a nutcase but the man saved us and had a plan and by hook or by crook got it done. What exactly is Ruben's plan for QPR FC?Comment

True about Tango and Reuben's plan is as yet unknown wind unfulfilled after 7 years.Originally posted by 1973 ranger View PostComment

QPR CEO Lee Hoos has issued a stark warning about the sustainability of QPR whilst the club remains at Loftus Road.
Responding to questions from QPR fan groups about the status of the new stadium project, the club has today published a document outlining the significant constraints of Loftus Road.
The R’s have been based at Loftus Road for a hundred years, but the age and size of the stadium, which is not designed for non-matchday use, means the club loses out on millions of pounds of potential revenue every year. Loftus Road is the third smallest capacity ground in the Championship, only ahead of Brentford, who are set to move from their current stadium and Rotherham.
Lee Hoos said: “Fan groups have asked us to set out in more detail the reasons we are looking for a new stadium, which is why we have published this document today.
“We have to face up to the fact that this club is not financially sustainable in the long term whilst we remain at Loftus Road, and we are running out of possible sites near our current home where we could move to.
“The idea of a QPR community stadium – with a new athletics track and community sports facility next door – on the Linford Christie Stadium site represents the only chance of staying in W12.
“If we get the go-ahead to pursue this option we will consult with fans about how any new stadium would work and, crucially, how we retain the best characteristics of Loftus Road.
“In the meantime, we will continue to do everything we can to highlight to the council that QPR is an important part of this local community and that they should help us stay here for the long term.”
Any fans wanting to join the campaign for a new stadium should email SecureRFuture@qpr.co.uk for more information on how to get involved

Excellent piece by the club, spells out exactly what our only option is. Hopefully now this will stop all speculation and club, local council and supporters can get behind this and make it happenOriginally posted by SpongeParr View PostComment

I think this also indicates to the fans that they will be looking to leave our spiritual home if the Linford Christie Stadium is rejected. I can see us leaving the borough to be honest.Comment

if we had to move out of shepherds bush into the likes of ealing for example it'd be sad but still not the worst thing in the world. what would worry me though is if we ended up doing an mk dons and moving wayyy out of londonOriginally posted by maidstone_hoop View PostComment

be very sad day leaving LR, but it does need to be done.
all I ask for is its still in west London (I know easier said than done) and that our new stadium isn't round with a running track outside the pitch. looks awful and will lose the ''Loftus Road'' feeling.Comment

Agreed, West London is key to the bulk of the fan base. Defo wouldn't do an MK Dons, part of the appeal of us is we are London.Comment
