I admire the ambition but I think that's big. Our largest ever crowd was 35000. We would obviously have to be in the premiership every year to get anywhere near. Out of the blue this announcement. Exciting though

Well that announcement seems to have caught most out. Long way to go before this comes about of course. Look forward to enjoying many more games at Loftus Road yet.

Our biggest crowd at Loftus Road was 35,000. I believe we had a 40,000 plus at White City. It is an exclusive in The Times tomorrow with Matt Dickinson, but bizarrely they seem to have outexclusived the exclusive

Maybe they decided they wanted it to come out on the Offish first rather than through another story connected to this HS2 Growth Taskforce thing?

40,000 is too big for the current fanbase but you would have said that about southampton and chelsea 20 years ago, they must have plans to grow it, wonder what the timescale of it all is

I think that this plan sounds potentially awesome. 40,000 seems like a do-able figure assuming top-flight football, any more and we'd be rattling around in there but there is no point building a new home and not increasing the capacity. Build it and they will come..

Then again this is QPR we're talking about, at least its never boring.

Having always travelled in from either the A4 or A316 or if on the train/tube the central line are those stations highlighted (north action, williesden junction) on the same lines?
Think the whole ambitious plan looks great.

4 years to come to terms with it then. That's good, I'm not good with change.

The made up pictures of the stadium look fantastic, surely it would have been more ideal though to make a 25-30,000 sweater with a view to expand?

Need to sign more Koreans if we are going to fill 40k.

25,000 - 30,000 to begin with might have been more realistic, but let's be honest. It's not like we were ever gonna have any say in the matter. TF has done a lot of great things for the club but this was always something they were gonna do their way.

So strap yourselves in for the ride. Exciting times ahead but with this club it could be amazing or catastrophic, you never know.

This bloody football club!

The picture does look bloody nice I've got to say, clearly they're thinking just a bigger, better version of Loftus Road rather than the shite that half the clubs in the country are playing in these days. It was always going to be 40,000 or thereabouts with the ambitions for concerts etc to be held there. F*ck knows how we're going to fill it but the potential is there. 20 years ago people would've laughed if you'd told them Fulham would be getting 25,000 fans, same goes for Chelsea and Southampton etc.

The atmosphere of Loftus Road could be retained, believe it or not many opposition fans think it's completely silent, if we could get the noise to travel from say the equivalent of Q/P/R blocks these days and echo around the stadium it could be really something. The board are clearly looking to take advice from the fans and have already done so with this first picture we've seen.

Obviously leaving Loftus Road will be f*cking heartbreaking for everyone but the sad reality is if we want to keep up this is the only way. Fully expect this to divide opinion massively though.

North Acton is on the Central line


As this is QPR and things never go as we would hope here's a list of things which will delay the new ground

1. Contaminated land
2. Unexplored ordnance from world war 2
3. Bats
4. Ground unsuitable for such a development due to tin mines not shown on the ground survey
5. A family of from Botswana lay claim to the land in a long lost document given to them in the late 1800s

Any more problems. To add

On a serious note I hope they give fans with the relevant building skills the opportunity to help build the new stadium either directly through the club or via links with many of the various contractors working on the ground
