    If we move from Loftus Rd would be amazed if it was local. The entire point from a business point of view would be to get more land for no more cost and that would inevitably mean moving further out where land is cheaper. Fans can't have it both ways.

      Guess it all depends on getting promoted

      Nice to think this was true as its a clear statement of intent, not overly fussed about building a new ground though happy with LR. In all fairness we can't even fill LR and IMO we are a long way off even considering building a new ground but I suppose this is when you have to start discussing these things. Personally I'd improve what we have, I'd love to have our rickerty ground in the PL which pisses everyone off.

      If true that will be for a new training ground / academy, already looked at Northolt Driving Ranger and the Park Club in Acton.

      If they had to move, I think this would be the perfect area, thousands of potential fans (which is what the owners will want) and easy access to the road networks.
      Sod that, QPR is Shepherds Bush end off, for many its the last tie they have to their roots. I couldn't think of anything worse than living in this Suburban nightmare let alone travelling there on a weekly basis to watch the Rangers.

      Really? I don't think you have a clue what you are talking about or even understand the area like us locals

      I can confirm that a couple of years ago a company called KSS Group were instructed to complete a feasibility study on a new ground for QPR, with the directive that the club should remain in W12. The favoured piece of land for a new ground at that time was the Linford Christie stadium. Since then nothing more has been heard, no doubt because of FB's and BE's reluctance at further investment in the club.
      Jesus thankfully you posted this Nobby and I think part of this feasibility study included the Unigate and possibly a third site the BBC Site?, muting a groundshare with Fulham at the time also.

      From what I heard and you may have heard similar at the time was that H&F Council were very keen to keep the club in W12 and obtaining the necessary planning approvals wouldn't be a big problem if we chose to build a new ground in the area.
