When our we going to sort out our capacity issues!?!

[qprjames]

I know I keep going on about this, but the club seriously needs to look at increasing the capacity at LR or moving ground. If we are going to cement ourselves as a premiership club in years to come, we need a larger capacity than 18k! Surely they should be sorting this kind of thing out now? At the end of the day, larger capacity=larger incomes and less costs to our owners.

I think you'll find now that Bernie's in place as major shareholder everything is in place for new stadium build end of 2011/12 season

Its been said 100x the only option is to move as you cannot expand LR.

I think the club should actually concentrate on filling the ground we have got, simple solution is to move away fans to the Ellerslie Rd Stand. That would give as 2000 more seats for R's fans, I don't understand where some fans think all these new fans will come from to fill a larger ground?

We have probably sold 90%+ of every HOME seat available this year. Its the away fans that let us down. Anyway if we were in the prem, demand would go through the roof-we would defo sellout 25000 if there was the facilities.

IMO I'd like us to move to a new stadium but can't see it happening.

Sorry, disagree

Will only be proved when we go up, but look at all clubs that have got promoted in last 10 years, crowds increase by around 30%, in the case of Wigan even more

Bernie doesn't get involved with projects unless there is long term success forecast/predicted. He is heavily involved with the White City site/area currently occupied by the BBC. Once the beeb move out the area is ready for development.

Bernie will take QPR to the next level as he's in it for the long term. He's made his fortune by understanding and backing sound business opportunities QPR being one of them.

As James said, this subject has been kicked around a lot already this season on this and most other QPR boards

Just look at Cardiff-they always get over 20k, they never used to get much above 13k at Ninnian Park.

Fact of life with a new stadium, more people go.

so your guessing

You might not be able to buy more land around but might just be able to build a new top tier.

I take it you mean the School End of the Ellerslie Rd stand.

Don't think it's possible.

The issue is where?!

If they took the offices out of SAR they could there I suppose but we need to move really. As much as I love LR, its just to dated to be a Premiership ground. We need to move on.

the last time i will say this BE won't buy us a foward, and you want a NEW stadium , dream on

[bushcelt1]

having away fans in ellerslie is a non event - fc ck having a load of northeners bouncing around the whole length of the pitch. although schoolboy pete has a ring to it!!!!!
