Kingfisher Not Intent On Getting Involved With QPR

Nice one Stanley, as you say only time will tell. I wonder though what they plan on pushing on with, be it all or just who's left. Players, new Ground, training facilities only they know.

All I heard is that the decision on the future location of the club is almost ready to be taken and waits in abeyance of a Board decision

What is your feeling on the location. BBC, Unigate or a beautiful new site along the A40 corridor in Hillingdon.

Not sure Id like to move away from W12, but that would be 5 minutes drive if they were to move there!

Personally would be Unigate or BBC for me. Ideally would like to stay in w12.

Still think we would stay at Loftus road, as some areas could be built on

I'd be happy to stay IF it could be extended to 28000 at least. There is no way they could do that unless they buy out the houses in Ellersie which isn't gonna happen

Why not?

Jim Gregory used to own them and the houses on Loftus Road behind the Loft. Not beyond the realms of possibility nor prohibitively expensive given the Mittal's wallet.

Liverpool bought all the houses on Kemlyn Road and then built on top of it for the Centenary Stand.

Nope your right however can't see it making financial sense or the plan getting permission from the council.

One house on Ellerslie Road, London W12 would probably cost more than most streets in Liverpool!

[Frode]

Last thing I heard, was that there are plans to expand Loftus Road. Digging downwards, if that makes any sense to you

That is very true.

If i remember rightly the old Wembley on one side had the road level with the upper tier so it can be done.

Isn't the Bernebau like that? Or one of the top European grounds, if not that one?
Palace's pitch is below street level on 3 sides, too (but it is built into the hillside).

I remember someone saying they can't dig down and not much else they can do at LR, could have done a long time ago but not now.

Problem with trying to buy all of ellerslie rd is it only takes one house owner to sit tight or demand silly money and it scuppers the whole thing. we must be talking 40 odd houses on the stadium side of the street, each must be worth 750k - you are talking big numbers, even for the mittels i wd have thought when we are currently getting crowds of 13,000. I'd have thought taking the loft further back or trying to build a third tier on SA Rd above the offices or paying the school to move at the school end wd be (relatively) cheaper options, but still expensive.
