I hear the rail links might be OK though

[Azman]

Beautiful, how many years will it take to build?

[DeepcutHoop]

im not gonna get to excited until ive seen the proper plans for the new stadium,didnt tf say the fans would have a say in how the stadium looks? i want to be close to the action on the pitch , not stuck up in a crows nest where i need a pair of bins just to see who is kicking the ball! so as i say until i see some proper plans im not gonna get over excited by all this!

A seat near the pitch, rather than at the back may be what you're after.

I'd say no less than 5, probably nearer 10 sadly.

One thing many people don't understand, is if tickets are priced right, that stadium could be filled and in turn provide greater revenue through sales of food/drink/merchandise/programmes etc. But that's only if the tickets are priced right...

[Burnside]

Stadium could be five six seven years away so I hope fernandes has deep pockets because he is going to have to stump up serious cash to keep us in the premier league until the ground is built. I dread to think what will happen if we move in and we are in the champ or league one

Well done tony and the other shareholders. The man is sticking to his word. I have a real soft spot for Loftus road but we need to move forward. Clearly it won't be rangers hardcore throughout but I know loads of people that will come and watch us play. Spurs fan I took moaned about leg room and toilets. None of those bother me but if I can convert a few I am sure there are plenty of others that can too

im sure TF and PB said that low prices are the strategy

Exactly! I guess TF's plan though is to build a very good squad of players and stabilise the club in the PL until the new stadium is ready. Cheaper tickets along with a good competing team will bring crowds. It will be a multi purpose venue bringing in revenue all year round.

40,000 is a big for a club our size but it's more than achievable with success on the pitch. Simply put it wasn't worth leaving LR for a new 25,000 stadium. We had to go big.

People moaning about this are completely deluded. LR is falling apart and not sustainable for the vision of our board. Maybe they'd rather stay at LR watching us playing Port Vale in League One in a few years though?

We aim to be in the new stadium at the start of 2018-2019 season http://www.westlondonsport.com/?p=61854
