Today's Announcement NOT About Stadium

[MattyRangers]

what time is the press conference. Need to get some work done today

3pm I think pal.

[QprSinceBirth]

Why have 30k when we can have 45k? We all gotta remember the ground will be used for lOads of thing. More seats means more money. I don't know anything about contruction but if he was to build 30k now then a extension that would cost more money than just building it in one to rather than having two sets of building plans ect?

[QPR Richard]

not at all,good luck to you but wont it be a white elephant ?

I think the club will be marketed heavily which will lead to an expanding fan base. TF has one eye on the future and that's why he's lumped for a 45k stadium.

[Hitman34]

fernandez tweeted that it will be 45 k. so thats the end of the matter.

[MYU]

I hope it's a ground that can be extended in the future, we'll need it.

Need a car park so that we can charge the away fans for parking, like they do at some other grounds.

Anyone can fill a ground, it all come down to price.

[Hitman34]

why would you wish to extend a 45k stadium? dont you think that would be big enough?

[stanistheman]

For now, yes. But TF is building for the future, the man seeminlgy has huge expectations for our club and seems to be steering us in exactly the right direction.

Building such a ground will enable us to become a brand rather than just a football club, hiring out the venue for music concerts and all sorts, bringing in additional revenue.

Agree with that.

QPR's attendances will increase as QPR's fortunes improve on the Pitch. Look at how Fulham's gates have risen since they won promotion. It wasn't that long ago they were playing at LR in front of 18,000 crowds and now they average 24+.

Fernandes has big plans for QPR, and a new bigger ground is part of these plans. QPR wont be able to fill the new ground at first, but there is a large area in West & North West London and many of the football fans who live there will be tempted to watch QPR once they start winning trophies.

They aren't announcing a ground today. So,what else can it be. Park alone isn't going to turn us into a global brand. Surely got.to be one or two major signings that we don't know about. Or more investment,maybe mittal has bought more shares off tony and is putting more money in. Either way its NOT about the ground.

I think it will be the official announcement of Park, a general mention of the stadium plans and the fact we are down to 2 possible sites etc (basically elaborating on TF tweet) and a bit of info regads our Asian tour and stadiums already being sold out etc and how bright the future is looking, bit of a sales pitch.

Half hoping maybe another signing chucked in with Park but I think that's just wishful thinking

[Del]

Think about it guys. He says it will make us a truely global brand..... I think it will just be an official press piece on all our signings:

Park - SK legend
Nelson - NZ captain
Fabio - upcoming Brazilian
Diakite - Promising African
Green - England international
Johnson - former England international.

I actually think there may also be a surprise player among them... Could it be Samba or Canadian Hoilett..?

[MYU]

For now yes but in the future?

All I'm saying is that we need a ground that can be extended if need be, not one where it's impossible like we have now.

I hear that there's a 10 year waiting list for ST's at WHL, everything grows.

[blueboy]

[EYR]
