    I'm glad TF runs us and has a development plan rather than some of those on here who want us to stay static....
    Are Coventry a bigger club than us?

        I agree.

        In London Arsenal have a new ground, Millwall did some years back, West Ham are going to the Olympic Stadium, Chelsea are looking for a site, Fulham are redeveloping, Brentford are getting a new ground, Spurs will either redevelop WHL or get a new ground.

        If we don't keep up we'll die. Simple as that. We'll get overtaken and left behind to play in a ground that is out of date, cramped, and has poor facilities. We won't be able to attract more support because youngsters will go to better places to watch football.

        If you think about it, we're building a top class training ground and academy to produce talented players. Do we want our team of the future playing at LR? It's had its day.

        We have an opportunity to move to a state-of-the-art stadium that will have a retractable roof. It'll host many events thus increasing revenue. It'll also be an iconic stadium as well because there'll be nothing like it anywhere in the country.

        Or we can stay at LR and play in front of 8-9,000 in a lower league.

        Which is it to be guys?
        Supporting QPR isn't just about a football team. It's about roots and identity.

          I've no idea but we play in London, the greatest city on earth. The potential support is out there.

              I reckon the flats should be called 'Fernandes Heights' and should have a big control tower like observatory at the top.

                At the moment we own Loftus Rd, if we dont own this new stadium , we will not have a secure future. Just like Coventry.
                Tony Fernades has only been associated with QPR for the last couple of ( dire) seasons , but we are supposed to trust him with the long term future of the club.

                  Yeh why not? He is so public about everything that it would be disastrous for him if he didnt complete everything he said he was going to do.

                    The council
                    Under Les Ferdinand:
                    Luke Freeman, top assists in the league: 4million
                    Alex Smithies, great goalie for this club: 3,5million
                    Charlie Austin, 19 Premier League goals: 4million
                    Jack Robinson: Contract ran out, left for free
                    And many more mistakes

                    LES FERDINAND, IT'S TIME TO GO

                      Whether we trust him or not, what can you do about it? If you don't trust him, fine. What are you going to do about his plans? Organise a demo perhaps?

                      I support what he's trying to do. I take it you don't, which is your prerogative. All I'm saying is if you don't like what he's planning then organise something so he'll listen to opponents of his plans. Perhaps you can organise an opposition group to demonstrate at future home games.

                        He is a businessman not a fan. He wanted to buy West Ham before he bought us. He has his eyes on a nice big fat multi use venue that his mate Phil Beard has been hired to run. We are his means to secure it. Only problem is they both know **** all about football and have managed to spend millions while making a complete **** up of their first 2 seasons.

                          As long as they keep chucking money into QPR it will come right soon....just needed a decent manager that knows how to build a squad.

                            This is when phil beard will come into his own.
                            With the air Asia naming rights the clubs future is looking bright.
                            Low season tickets will rival teams like Fulham for the floating support .
                            Where u getting the info mate?.any news on location?

                                I'm not offering you advice. I'm simply suggesting that instead of whingeing about it, do something to oppose the plans that's all. Don't moan at me. Take your feelings to the board if you don't like it.
