    New ground for me guys and as suggested initial size of 30k would be perfect with opportunity to expand

    What I would like to see pushed more then safe standing is for adults to be able to have a beer in their seat as they do in Cricket and Rugby

          If they charge good price in the new stadium, I can see us getting more than 20,000. Not sure how much more though. It needs a study.

            Not sure price is such a factor in relation to getting bums on seats, if you haven't turned up regularly to LR for 30 yrs or so, how is £10 cheaper ticket or whatever posters hope it could be going to suddenly entice the stay at home fan to break a habit of a lifetime and turn up more than stay twice a year. We've had cup games where tickets are cheap and the same old 10000 or so turn up.
            Also no new stadium I know off led to cheaper prices, Brighton, Emirates and Cardiff all went up, who else is going to pay for your extra leg room, it ain't going to be subsidised by TF or 1D concerts.
            If it all goes through the clubs business plan (if they have one) is that a new stadium, in affluent west london, will mean fans will be happy to pay more IMHO, cannot see them cutting prices, TF is not doing this out of charitable kindness to hard up QPR fans.

              So how those extra seats are going to filled? perhaps by using the stadium for other evens?

                More leg room...less HT cattle-herd queuing for toilets, drinks and food, betting kiosks...more bars and cafes closer to the ground...more local marketing/advertising to attract new fans like Fulham have done successfully...regular PL football hopefully...the list goes on etc...

                  Phil Beard: “Our intention will be to fill every seat, and dynamic ticket pricing is becoming more and more relevant every year,”.

                  I think too many people are basing the new stadium's attendance on what we are getting now. This isn't about the now, it's about the next 50-100 years, long after many of us have moved on.
                  Supporting QPR isn't just about a football team. It's about roots and identity.

                    Dynamic doesn't mean cheaper, all it means is if we are premiership, games against Chelsea and Man utd will most probably be £100, league cup game on a Tuesday against Yeovil will be £15.
                    If the club said moving to a new ground will lead to cheaper tickets then that's a statement but what you've quoted is marketing speak.

                      Not necessarily.

                      Look at the Man City model for example, or the German one.

                        I know tickets in Germany are much cheaper than in England

                          i think

                          i think you are underestimating our potential,fulham were great when they had al forehead as director
                          but hes out of the agenda now and fulham will becom,e another charlton and drop into the first div which is where they will stay

                          but qpr are propelled by the most wealthy family family in england also tony fernandes children will become qpr fans,so we will haver such wealth that keeping qpr in the top flight over the next 50 years ios a must where as poor fulham and charlton,will just become another brentford ,who with there new stadium will become in this division for the next 50 years

                          qpr will fill there 40 thousand stadium in the next 20 years ,dont forget in my lifetime qpr used to have a ground that held 37-500 but i think its only ever had about 35-000 but that is still only 5000 short of the forty thousand mark also dont forget thee will be twelve functiion rooms that will be hired out in the new stadium plus four pubs and four wine bars and all these will be able to sell qpr tickets cheap,qpr have always been sleeping giants,and with the massive northolt fan baes they could fill a 60 thousand all seater,so thats really what we need a 60 thousand all seater

                            Blimey, do you really think our fans will take time to sit and study before each game? It would be a first for a football club to have these at the grounds. I've heard of the Highbury Library but a Study at the Rangers.......
