Places for a new ground 09:52 - Feb 26 with 5026 views

I was just musing that there would be sufficient space for a new ground at the Willesden Sports Centre.

In the middle of Willesden Green, Willesden Junction, Kensal Rise, and Kensal Green for dissipating crowds and transport links.

Close to our origin story.

I haven't heard this mentioned before so thought I'd add it here.

I bring it up because I believe it's important and worth considering. I understand that you may not see it in the same way, and that's completely fine. I'll leave it at that.

It's been brought up and considered multiple times already. We're just going around in circles. There's is nothing new today than there was a few months ago.
How about we patiently (I know it's not easy) wait until there is some concrete development/announcement from the club about how they plan to progress in terms of either updating the existing ground or looking at alternatives sites.

I'll leave it at that.

NB: before anyone else says it, yes, I'm aware that if I don't agree with the thread I should just ignore it and let others discuss it blah blah blah....

Ok, I'll won't comment on this issue until we get any further news about it.

So what? If someone wants to write about this I'd rather read about ideas that involve QPR than some of the dross posted ie random irritations or crap joke of the week or whatever these posts are called.

Used to play the schools Brent Cup Final there back in the day, won it there in 78 & 79!

Played a few finals there in the sixties for Aylestone. We always lost to Willesden County. Bustards.

What larger footprint??? With respect, you have had this conversation so many times on other threads, why keep bringing it up again and again? (and yes, I'm grumpy today 'cos some dimwit Gen Z at work expected me, in front of an audience, to do their job for them so I had to 'remind' them that it is their role to do what was being asked) [Post edited 26 Feb 14:54]

Well done Wembley, you've just proved Godwin's Law in record time. I salute you!

Butler's Wharehouse between the Grand Union Canal and Greenford station is/has been 'considered' for a football ground.

To be honest - and I have zero in the know information - I don't think that the owners have any interest in moving us to a new home.

We're not Ruben's main business priority and any such project anywhere near Loftus Road would be an extremely complicated and lengthy undertaking. I just can't see it.

Alternatively, in the world of reverse psychology and knowing what a propensity I have to get things all wrong, there will probably be spades in the ground at 9.01am tomorrow

"Things had started becoming increasingly desperate at Loftus Road but QPR have been handed a massive lifeline and the place has absolutely erupted. it's carnage. It's bedlam. It's 1-1."

Hayes end of Stockley Park is calling out for a QPR stadium... it would vastly improve Hayes.

Terrible memories of Hayes as a teen.

Remember almost getting hit with a marmite bottle flying out of the 16th floor of s council flat walking to school.

Hayes.... always send shivers down my spine.

You might not find it interesting. But I do. There are pockets of space all over west London. This one hadn’t been mentioned before as far as I recall. On reflection there’s not quite enough space. Ok. Move on. But I’d still be interested to read about other ideas for development opportunities if they come up.

White City estate must be due to be up graded, move the stadium onto there, build the equivalent amount of flats on Loftus Road and around the new stadium.

Just measured it out. You're right. Not any bigger than Loftus Road. Beating a hasty retreat. My eyeball assessment is evidently rubbish.

What if we dug down?

How about a 16500 stadium (15,000 + 1,500 away fans), more corporate facilities, no restricted views, better toilets, no digging down - by refurbishing Loftus Road within current footprint?

Isn’t this more realistic than moving the club?

I know these have been done before but its a forum, so why not. Better to have threads people comment on than nothing.

Existing site is a problem as if we build here, the building regs wouldn't allow for our gradient. So, based on what others have said, it means that we could probably only fit a 15k max in, probably less. So no way would the cost of demolishing and re building for less people (even if more corporate) make a return on investment.

I saw ages ago about a White City refurb and LR was included in those plans, so I wonder if there is something there.

Also, the voice of the club around LR has changed in the last few years. Less about having to move and more about what we can do at LR and that we cannot say much after speaking to the council. Seems odd to mention that if there aren't discussions around something substantial happening.
