35,000 Seater

[moon_safari]

or think we are bigger than we are n become a coventry(bigger club) derby (bigger club) leicester(bigger club)

No one says we have to be bigger than them, otherwise were gonna end up like brentford or millwall, if you price it right will always be 20+ in there

It shouldn't be forgotten that this is not just going to be our home. It's going to be a multi-purpose site and has to be. It'll be empty 340 days a year otherwise and should be used for other things to bring money in.

Seems many here have no ambition whatsoever. Perhaps they're hoping we'll get swallowed up by Chelski or the Fools.....

Or perhaps we love QPR the perfectly formed size we are, and dont want to sell our souls and have the clubs future gambled with.
To suggest we are not loyal to QPR and hope we get swallowed up by Chelsea or Fulham , just because we might not share TF vision for the club , is not only disrespectful , its pretty foolish too.

25,000 seater would be better with the options to expand when the time is right! i like swansea stadium by the way!

I'm not being disrespectful to any fan who opposes the move. The fact is, if we don't grown we will die. Kids won't want to come to watch football at LR because it's a poor stadium. They'll go elsewhere because other places will be better equipped.

If we want to survive in the cut-throat world of football we have to move with the times.

Anything more than 25k absolute tops will be useless for a few years. We have 15k fans maybe 20k at a push. We take the pi$$ outta Foolham for the "tourists" and $hit atmosphere yet we will be exactly like that if we jump into a 35k seater stadium. Yes, for the next generation maybe it'll be a great move with kids starting to support us eh, but for a while we will be in a stadium too big for us IMO.

Suggesting we are HOPING we get swallowed by Chelsea and Fulham ,was disrespectful .

But you are entitled to your opinion on the ground move, the same way we are entitled to ours.

I think a lot to do with the capacity will be to do with the concerts that can be held inside it, and the revenue it will generate until the time when we can fill it.

I don't think a new stadium will open for at least 5-10 years anyway. Plenty of time to build a successful team hopefully from the new academy. A team that will be good to watch and attracting new young fans.

I agree. The O2 accommodates 20,000 and is the largest covered music venue in London. A 35,000 venue will fill the gap between the 02 and say, the Emirates for gigs. I'm sure Phil Beard knows the market and what a new stadium might generate for the club money wise.

I think that we should go back to a 60`s stadium, mud hills on all sides, undeveloped stands, no turnstiles, dog c rap on the pitch, won`t cost a lot to develop, easy to hold non football events and if we move to old oak our new local rivals could be at the local HMP.

Yeh, Beard ain't stupid when he has the success of 02 and the Olympics under his belt.
Would be in an area with easy access from Euston, Westfield Shopping Centre and the West End.
I think the area around the ground would probably have a Hotel, Casino etc as well.

Now that's proper football

[QprSinceBirth]

I'm remember reading that beard wants the new ground to be the biggest venue in london. It won't be just a football stadium , if we only have 20k for a few years so be it , personally I love Loftus road however for the future it won't work .
Also tony has said if it is possible to have a stading area he wants it , the seats will be retractable anyway so if in 8years the fa ect decide to allow standing areas we can just remove loads of seat
