Interesting.

Maybe this explains the Beeb's apparent bias against us, as it wouldn't look right uf they were fawning over us if we are working with them on a possible new stadium.

wouldnt need 35k stadium 25k would be plenty empty seats wouldnt look good in the prem, i mean look at wigan and birmingham embarrising but all in all new ground would be quality.

Berni and Flabio selling? Doubt it before we are promoted somehow.
Hasn't Bernie just spent some pocket change on a new house for daughter? 66 million.

This new stadium debate needs to be sorted soon if we a club that is serious about prem footie and qualifying for europe. What would happen if we went up, finished 3rd or 4th in the prem next year and then Barcelona were drawn in our group? Do we borrow Wembley?

look

look how building a new ground has destroyed arsenal,i really dont want a new ground because the funds required means that our team re building will be effected,lets not get greedy,neil needs all our funds if he is going to take the prem title,and trust me he is

[rmj1982]

we cant stay at loftus road full stop if we get to the prem its not sustainable we need to generate much more revenue and have better facilties for supporters, im afraid to say lr has run its course.

I take it you mean stadium atmosphere, because as a team they are one of few teams in the prem I like to watch, great football, the midfield is just awesome, will probably win the title imo.

Never been to the emirates so don't know what the atmos is like

Silly cow who wrote it as described us as a 'north west London club!'

There's only one team in West London. Us. We are W12!

[W6hoops]

35,000 IS TOO BIG. 30k would be better imo.

[Hoopaman]

35k would mean cheaper tickets. Leg room, no queuing for the toilets or a beer, easy in/out the ground. It's going to happen soon enough and we'll need it if we're to go up. Just hope it's not a bowl.

[Nodge70]

35k is one of the criteria in gaining a 5 star UEFA stadium grading, which allows competitive international matches to be played at the ground. For the sake of 5k seats, worth it and we'd sell it out anyway for games against the top 5 or 6 clubs

The original article just looks an extremely lazy piece of journalism to me as there are no quotes from anyone at QPR regarding the move and it appears to just be regurgitated rubbish at first glance

Most clubs will of course love a new stadium and I doubt that QPR are any different but I would like to think that we will fully assess how many fans would need to be accommodated first before deciding on a 30,40,50,000 stadium or whatever

For what its worth I would be happy to just stay at Loftus Rd and yes it has its problems but I still think its one of the best football grounds out there

[Hoopaman]

They're arent many sites For sale close to LR that would be big enough for what we need. It's kinda a now or never moment. Buy now and stay in w12 or Wait a while and move elsewhere.

[qprjames]

I would be very happy if we were to move to the BBC. Same place that we have always been at and stays close with peoples roots.

sounds great to me i would love it!
