QPR flash new stadium!!!!!

[hal9thou]

tony (and the boards) judgement has not been questionable. in relation to the business side of the club, they have been superb,

transfers are a key part of said business and the club's record under the stewardship of TF has been chaotic: this was the man who gave Hughes (and Kia) the keys to the mint. I think agents like Kia rub their hands together every time a new millionaire owner pops up, becuase football is a business like no other and running an airline does not prepare you for the EPL. Our club has still not recovered from that legacy.

I think Emirates is a fantastic ground and puts Wembley in the shade.

Bad view in the upper tier???? you sure you were facing the right direction

I have sat all over the top tier at the Emirates and there is not a bad view in the place up their in my humble opinion

Here's a picture my mate took with his (albeit shite point&shoot) camera with the 6x zoom all the way in, from our seats:

Our actual view was like lookin at a green ant hill

..it's being financed with naming rights..

yeah, just like how Newcastle's done with Mike Ashley's SportsDirect Arena at St. James' Park, or whatever theyre calling it these days.
Aw man, could you imagine us playing at say the ASR Logistics Arena or the viagogo stadium?? :(

Air Asia in the name would probably be the lesser of all the evils.

I remember a report that was produced by, I think, a marketing consultancy which I may have posted at the time. The reason the Newcastle naming rights deal didn't work was because it wasn't a newly built stadium. People are too familiar with St James' Park.

Personally, I'm not too bothered what they call the new stadium, as long as it helps with the finances. Man City and Arsenal don't seem to have done too badly with new grounds and naming rights.

Firstly, Air Asia will be ploughing in money from naming rights. Secondly, I understand that Amit is involved with the construction of the stadium, along with Mittal Steel as a supplier. Thirdly, I'm not aware of any business failures by any of our shareholders. These guys are serious businessmen.

I don't think a comparison between Coventry and London can be made in terms of business models. London has far more going for it than Coventry, and the stadium will be multi-purpose thus bringing in money.

Besides, who would have thought the white elephant that was the millennium dome would be transformed into the world's busiest music arena? Our chief executive had a big hand in that.

If you don't trust Tony to deliver, how about showing a little faith in the rest of the board to handle this project?

who told you all this

[Jeems]

So you're telling me I can turn up to the new stadium with a QPR shirt and "1 Direction" on the back of it? Where the hell do I sign up?!

Do some research. It's all out there mate.
