Agree, still have massive reservations about a new ground and TF's ability to pull it off. |  |

Without a move away from Loftus Road, that's where were likelyto end up. Without the decent ....
It's outdated, too small, with poor facilities on a cramped site.
We have access to a catchment area that stretches West from the Edgware Road and North from the M4. That's about 2 million people. Where's the ambition to be better than we are now. |  |

its a gamble
and sadly one I think we will lose
cost of stadium and training ground on top of our already high debts plus football league fine
that's a heck of a lot of money to find and then we have to find a way to fill the place and stay in the premiership
if it ever happens I HOPE IT WORKS but I doubt it | |

A couple of gambles to date which QPR didn't take regarding our ground:
1. Buy the houses behind South Africa Road.
2. Buy the land behind the school end.
I wonder whether if we don't take the opportunity at Old Oak Common whether we'll be sat in a characterless stadium somewhere near Heathrow adding this move to that list. One things for sure we're not going to stay at Loftus Road forever. |  | | |

In an ideal world we would stay at Loftus Road but in truth we have to move. My biggest concern is whether the club will actually own the stadium. I've got a bad feeling that supporting a move is like asking turkeys to vote for Christmas. | |

New Queens Park?
Let's have it right......
New Queen's Park.
Where's the option for just building a Ground for us, nothing else?
Never mind Crossrail, re-generation of the area, and all that jazz.
Buy a piece of land large enough for a Stadium...........and just build one there.
Forget all the other stuff.
Or is this not what this is all about?
Cynic?................Wot me Guv.
What's going on?
We should be told.
Sort it out. | | | |

What if the options were
1. Tony's vision for the new world (40k,New QPR,Cinema,Crossrail,24k homes)
2. Move out of postcode to a ground we own approx 28k? | |

Idealistic but quite frankly because of the close proximity of our neighbours then if this was to happen I could see the club either plummeting further or closing. When things started going bad the last time we were in the third tier at times we were getting 8,000's, which is loss making for a club in a vicinity. Being a London club players would have to be paid more purely for the fact that they would have to live in more expensive properties, compared to more northerly clubs. If the team is doing poorly then the crowds will dwindle and Rodney Marsh's prophecy of a few years back would come true. Fulham on getting to the PL suddenly got crowds jumping to 26,000, yep many were tourists but many came out of curiosity and stuck. Brentford, within 3 years will move into a shiny new stadium, holding 20,000 and you watch them fill the place.
We need a new ground, Loftus Road, for however endearing it is quite frankly became outdated the moment the Taylor Report was published. To stay local OOC is really the only option and we are lucky to have the owners with such vision and resource. And I bet if it gets built it will be filled, by us, by new supporters, by people moving into the area, by a larger away support and yes by tourists, but again, like Fulham, many will stick and 20 years hence will be as grumbling as the rest of us. I just hope that the final design will encompass the best bits of Loftus Road and has the ability to create an atmosphere something akin to that night against Oldham in 2003. | |

Would rather stay as close to Shpeherds Bush as possible, as others states failure to act in the past means this could be last chance saloon.
Somebody mentioned Heathrow, thats possible but no can be a nightmare to get too.
Staying at Loftus Road isn't feasible frankly in the top 2 divisions give it enother 10 fifteen years and maybe your looking at League 2 with middle of League 1 at best as more and more sides adapt grow bigger etc.
I love Loftus Road but this is the only true option as I see it at this time.
Another option maybe we get moved like old Wimbledon were and more recently albeit it in Rugby Wasps.
Cornwall has a big potential untapped potential right? |  | | |

the new ground won't have ROOTS, HEART,MEMORIES
it will have new fans on it;s doorstep, fans who may actually support other clubs and end up turning up at new qpr IF WE WIN games
a new mall and cinema and pizza and franky's!! even a bowling alley but will it = qpr?
but as i have said before the new stadium, won't really be for qpr, it will be for ONE DIRECTION or rod stewart fans , it will be a concert venue more than a football ground... | | | |

No not having that at all; actually the last time we were in League 1 the crowds were feking fantastic; the club sensibly reduced all season ticker prices and the result was a kind of rebirth and without doubt the best atmosphere we have had at LR for decades. Now the singing is largely restricted to Qp and r blocks; back then chants would regularly be sung on 3 sides of the ground; Back then away fans didn't know where to direct their chants, both ends of the Ellerslie had raucous fans as well as the whole of the loft and the 2 blocks of the south Africa stand near the away end.
oh and in our second season didn't we take 33, 000 to Cardiff and 8,000 to Sheffield Weds in our 3rd. So no our crowds didn't "dwindle" they went up and actually if you look at the composition of our away fans today; many are quite young and many would have started going during this period.
Not saying that I want to go back to League 1 but would happily stay at LR. [Post edited 21 Mar 2015 13:45]

Check around before and after the Vauxhall motors debacle and you will see sub-10,000 crowds as the norm. The season before when we were pony, really pony in Division One we were lucky to get 10,000. If that happened again the crowds would be replicated but this time I couldn't see any way back.
Moving a mile away doesn't mean we are relocating ala old Wimbledon/MK Dons, we will have the same support base and hopefully re-attract many lapsed R's as well as attract new ones aswell. | |
