Loftus Road.

Not fit to be a prem standard stadium.
Possibly not fit to be a championship standard stadium either.

So what do the owners do, have all these years of stagnation have cought up with us.

If we go up this season, next season could be chaos for fans.

So if we go up in the spring with the ground in the current state, will the club be actually subject to some financial sanctions or even a prohibition to use the ground until it is upgraded accordingly?

[Factamondo]

like it or not the ground passes all prem league requirements.....'if' we go up away fans must be limited to the absolute minimum allowed!

Blackpool had to play their first game away, it was originally mean to be at home but due to the stand not being finished it was deemed unsafe, could this be what happens to us.

lol of course it is fit to be a premiership stadium. Fulham used it only a few years back!

Is it up to the standards of sustainable premiership club? Not a chance. Realistically we need 28000-35000 seater capacity. Just look at cardiff-new stadium and attendances have shot up. Same would happen with us.

Whether we achieve this by expanding LR (Buying out houses around Ellersie or SAR possible?) or just going full out at a new ground, I dont know. Personally my preference would be a Larger version of Loftus Road being built at the unigate site. Nice and close to the pitch please!!!!

my frustration is the board are (as far as we know) not using this time to gain planning permission to extend it (assuming they are not thinking of building a new ground somewhere else, which wd take even longer). if we carry on this well attendances are sure to increase and it doesn't make much business sense to turn people away.

[Factamondo]

the stadium in basel would be ideal imho!!

I can envisage a ticket office/superstore within Westfields where people will come up to London and pay for the husbands/kids to go on a stadium tour whilst the women do their shopping, ending the day buying tickets for forthcoming games.
We can become bigger than Chel****, if we can get the local support along with the Westfields visitors.
Chel****/Fulham have nothing to attract shoppers family to the area.
And then i woke up, but it was a good dream whilst it lasted, and they say dreams can come true.

[qprjames]

Dont like that.

A must that we stay in W12 as well

[Factamondo]

cass the thing worrying me is the jump on the bandwagon hoorah ******s who will flood us claiming to be 'suuuuuuperhoopsa' fans........the office wallahas compleat with pointy shoes n cheap suites!

[80sCasual]

Feels like i'm in the walkers stadium, actually that is the same view i had aswell.

Now thats a proper stadium, and nice and close to the pitch.
