seems we are definately moving grounds

30.000 would be sufficient with the option to expand the ground at a later stage, or we'll end up like some other clubs playing in a 1/2 full stadium, it will be like playing in a morque. We are having trouble selling out our ground now never mind if it was 30.000

I thought TF said two weeks ago it would be around 45 - 50K capacity which would allow for holding other sporting and entertainment events?

Tickets at £25 - £30 for the top games and £10 - £15 for 'the Blackburns of this world' and we'd sell out easy

I AM THINKING THAT WE COULD PUT A HOTEL and a casino in the complex,and we will turn loftus road into a complex of luxery flats

but if we do turn loftus road into a block of flats there is a whole lot of memories that are going to be lost,so im not sure that i want the new stadium
its probabley better if i just let other people decide about the new stadium because im not so sure that i want to leave a place that i have visited for 50 years

Best to keep it as a training and QPR acadamy...just sell the stands

We need to make it 30 k max at first with the option to increase when and if our support grows.
The problem with a much larger capacity,and the size of our present support, is that whenever we play another London side, or Utd, City ,Liverpool etc they`ll bring so many it wont be like a home game .
And the rest of the time there will be loads of empty seats and no atmosphere.
Got to be in the Shepherds Bush area as well , i would hate to see us move to the Middlesex suburbs.

Didnt hear this myself but I suppose it does make sense. The fact TF wants to run us as a profitable business (which is a philosophy i welcome with open arms!) tells us that we wont simply be a "football team" anymore and that such ideas as holding music concerts etc at our ground will be a way of him and Beard generating income for the club; therefore a larger capacity than may be required for the football games seems quite likely to me.

Obviously nobody can tell the future, but as a club grows and establishes itself in the PL, it will attract more fans, and I hope we can attract a fanbase large enough to not leave any potential new stadium half empty as, for me, thats 1 of the worst things in football (Ricoh Arena anyone?...)
