    Read the article you posted:

    "The BBC has already announced that Television Centre, its iconic Shepherd’s Bush headquarters, is up for sale, and Mr Thompson will say today that the broadcaster plans to exit West London entirely, with the sale of its White City building. Queen’s Park Rangers, the Premier League football club, is in negotiations over a move to the site. "

    Now to put it into easier words that means that it's already been announced that TV Centre is for sale but today they said they will ALSO be vacating the WHITE CITY building, which is the one with the Tesco in it, and QPR are interested in this site.

    Television Centre is a listed building.

      The site we are looking at is where the BBC office blocks are and where the old White City Stadium was.

          Anything less than a Maracana equivelant is a disgrace.... clearly our fan base will increase ten fold over night so filling it won't be a problem....

          I also think super high powered water cannons should be mounted on the roof so it can be aimed at Stamford Bridge. With all the urinals plumbed to it, we will literally pi5s on them from a great height. On evening games it could create a unique coloured arch across town to even out do Wembley.....

                Liking this idea now.Was against moving anywhere,as LR has a special atmosphere when rocking,but,being realistic,if we are to become an established PL club,we will need a bigger and more modern ground.

                Plus,it's a few staggering steps closer to the Weld.

                  How can we build a ground on it if it is a listed building?

                    You hire a lovely blonde bit with a huge set of brads on her, send her down the planning office, find the top dog in there and.... Ill let you figure the rest out
                    You should never underestimate the predictability of stupidity.

                        You don't, instead opt for the site that isn't listed....

                          My god some of the posters on this thread are hard work

                          Anyway if we are looking at the Media Centre and the Silver Building it will be news to those working there.

                          I know about about half a dozen people who work there and they haven't the first idea about this story...load of ********!
