  • Stadium Update

    QPR could be forced to look for a new home in a diffrent London borough if Linford Christie Stadium goes ahead without them

    QPR previously said they would be have to look outside of Hammersmith and Fulham if they couldn't develop the Linford Christie Stadium

    Hammersmith and Fulham Council have never liked us anyway.

    I think its time we looked in somewhere like Ealing/Greenford for a new stadium.

      Is our new training ground not big enough for a stadium and training ? Or is it too far out ?

        ive been saying for years tell hammersmith help us or were off and leave the stadium in disrepair which won't take long to do

        its our only way forward 25-30k stadium with option to add another tier should some arabic or usa billionaires want to do a Newcastle or City on us

          The imperial colkege site we bought spans 27 acres.

          A typical football pitch is 2 acres, so you could surely get the pitch, stands, walkways and multi-story car parking facilities into 16 acres. With decent transport links you could probably sqeeze a stadium into 12 acres. We have enough land for an 40,000 seater stadium.

          I always thought Heston is the fall back option for a new stadium should all other options fail around W12.

            Can't see council and local residents would accept the change of use. It's one thing having peaceful low-key training playing fields on your doorstep and another to have a stadium with 1000s of rabid fans disturbing your peace and quiet 25ish times a year.
            We need some sort of brown field site a long way from local NIMBYs.

                Looking on google maps there is hardly any homes around the plot ? Nearest train is Hayes & Harlington about half mile trot to the pub near the ground.

                  So if we developed a stadium there, we could open our bars to locals during the week. It would give them something to do, and we'd get some mid-week revenue.

                  It's a winner !!

                        Fair point. Thing is, anyone in the wider locale can (and probably will) kick off). They'll moan about congestion, noise, air pollution, parking, light pollution, loss of view etc etc it'll just be an endless list of cruddy gripes. What's worse, ANYONE can register opposition.... folks living 1000s of miles away can lodge objections on the basis of the flimsiest connection to the area.

                        Best bet is developing an existing sports site (eg West London Stadium) or a stinking decrepit run-down brownfield site. Even these will encounter concerted opposition though.
