QPR New Stadium Announcement soon

[lymehoop]

My guess is 40k seater on the BBC site. No reasoning behind this, just a guess out of the options being banded around

lets hope your right matty, great location

[ollyhoops]

Can't see it being Kilburn.

I can only vision either Unigate or BBC site.

I guess we'll hear something in the next 2/3 weeks.

The stadium is going to be at least 2 seasons away, chill out. Plans have just been made.

3 minimum IMO unless all the consents are already in place

What BBC site ?

Top of SA road, turn right towards Westfield and kinda opposite there.

Unless you know something I don't regards that not being available?

Oh right fair enough.

In light of this info I change my guess to 40k seater on the Unigate site

I have a feeling they've identified a site that can accommodate not just the stadium, but other facilities which will increase the revenue stream. They've been looking for a site from almost day one and though the Unigate site would be one possibility, that site may not have become available until very recently. The fire was on Jan 31, the last day of the transfer window and I understand it has been earmarked for the White City Opportunity area by the Mayor of London and the council. Plans have already been drawn up for this and have been for a long time. I could be wrong, but I don't think it'll be the unigate site.

If it's to be west London, there's only two other choices. The first is the Scrubs. I'm not sure if we can build here because it was designated by an Act of Parliament in 1879 as an open public space. It's also recognised by Natural England as an area of importance, so to get this site we'd have to overturn an act of parliament and fight off the greenies.

The only other option is the old white city site. I've had a look at the regeneration plans and I couldn't see anything that earmarks the site for housing or anything else. That's probably because it's only recently been vacated. Although I came across this:

Whilst the BBC will be vacating TV Centre by 2015, it intends to maintain a substantial presence in White City at the Media Village, where there is already planning permission for additional office space and venue for the BBC orchestra.

Anyone interested in having a look here's a link:
