Looks like new ground may still be on.

whats the point of building a new stadium when we cant fill 19000?

That's not how it works. Offer a an old little ground with **** facilities and no legroom = it won't attract many except the hardcore. Offer a decent 25-30k ground and it will definitely have more people interested. It's not easy though, tickets cannot be too expensive and the atmosphere not too NFLish.

The main reason that the new investment came in, was because of our location. Dont think they will want to move 10 miles down the A40.

thats the whole point isnt it?
prime london location developed on, and a new cheaper location build a new stadium thats not just for football.

Yeh, they really need the money.

rich people hate more earning money. they come to hate the stuff in the end.

GTP steady, lets not go back to old habits, you went through a phase of posting in a normal manner.

Will QPR's ground be prime london location in a few years, after the BBC has moved to Manchester taking away all the spending in the area on a day to day basis ?, I can see it becoming a bit of a ghost town.

It's only a small part of the BBC moving. The main hub is still very much W12.

2,500 - 3,000 people moving is a chunk of cash not being spent on a daily basis, as well as all the additional people those departments moving brought to the area. I dont think Tumble will be seen blowing down Loftus Road on a Saturday, but I can see the immediate area suffering. Shepard's bush will always be OK but the #### end where we are, will suffer me thinks.

and therein lies the problem

Think to attract more people we will eventually have to move/expand LR. If we were to build a new stadium I would like to do something like Spurs are doing-

The stadium is designed to enhance the atmosphere which generally lacks in new grounds.

Stay at LR and stagnate, or build purpose built stadium on a40 corridor and grow.

Simples.

Smaller version of that would be fantastic.

I thought the Beeb was moving Lock,Stock and Barrel to Manchester by 2013.

I'm also lead to believe that the **** supporting dwarf owns, or is buying up the land. If he is, as is to be believed, selling his shares along with Flabio, where would that leave QPRFC with regards to using the land for a new stadium.

Hillingdon ski slope has been rumored as the prefered site for many a year now and I for one don't thinks it's a too bad a place to relocate.

Agree-looks like a cracking stadium
