Deuce Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Queens Park Rangers are set to move from Loftus Road to a new 40,000-seater stadium as part of a major regeneration project in the Old Oak area in West London. The plan is to develop a stadium at the heart of the regeneration area, and for this to be the catalyst that will bring about the creation of a residential and commercial area larger than Canary Wharf – ultimately generating 50,000 jobs and 24,000 homes. The scheme has the provisional title of New Queens Park. The QPR chairman Tony Fernandes, told www.qpr.co.uk: "Loftus Road is – and always will be – a special place for the club and our supporters, but we need more than an 18,000 capacity. "With no option of expanding here, we have to look elsewhere and we welcome the mayor's and Hammersmith & Fulham council's commitment to regenerate the area, which includes an option to develop a new stadium at Old Oak as a key catalyst to bring forward redevelopment, cementing our future in this part of West London. "Not only will this give us a top quality stadium to cater for QPR's needs as the club progresses and grows over the years ahead, but we are very excited about being the driving force behind creating one of the best new urban places in the world. This will be the catalyst for the regeneration of a forgotten area." QPR's chief executive, Philip Beard, said: "We will be consulting our loyal and passionate supporters, as well as the local community, on our exciting plans early next year. We will look to build a stadium QPR fans and local residents can be proud of. Loftus Road is renowned for its atmosphere and with the help of our supporters, replicating that at our new stadium will be one of our top priorities." The Championship club, managed by Harry Redknapp, have concluded a letter of collaboration with the Greater London Authority and the London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham to "bring forward an early and very significant private sector investment into the Old Oak Common regeneration area." The news follows Boris Johnson's recent announcement that turning Old Oak into a new world-class city quarter is to be one of his main regeneration priorities. QPR have had three stints at Loftus Road, the team moved there in 1917 after their ground was commandeered by the army and remained there until 1931. But at the start of the 1931/32 season they moved to White City stadium, but returned in 1933 after a £7,000 loss. Then in the 1962/63 season the team once again moved to White City Stadium but returned again after just one season, where they have remained ever since. The ground's record attendance is 35,353 against Leeds United in 1974 but its capacity has since been reduced to 18,439 and the club's highest attendance this season was 17,626 against Sheffield Wednesday back in August. http://www.theguardian.com/football/2013/dec/12/qpr-new-stadium-loftus-road?CMP=twt_gu Loftus Road's a bit of a dump, isn't it?

Segun Oluwaniyi Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Everything related to QPR is rubbish. Maybe the tenth most relevant club in their city. Also, yes, Loftus Road makes Craven Cottage look like Nou Camp and RFK look like Allianz. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incognito Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Keane was better than Vieira. The furore about Cole or Irwin shouldve easily been solved by moving Irwin to right back in place of Lauren who had no right to be there ahead of GNev or Dixon anyhow.
