Of the two sites OOC & LCS which would be your preference and reason why,Might be of interest to anyone at HQ that maybe reads this site.  |  |
| If at first you dont succeed, pack up and f**k off home. |

LCS is closer to home
OOC will have better infrastructure |  |

Would personally prefer Linford Christie site as would be a smaller stadium and more likely to be for QPR rather than a concert venue |  | | |
| New Stadium [ Again] on 12:22 - Mar 12 with 3457 views | Hayesender |
LCS with a capacity of no more than 25,000, although I feel neither will happen |  |

LCS - closer and likely to be smaller so we're not all rattling around in some horrible megadome. |  | | |

Probably LCS, but disagree with Hayes in that if we only expand to 25000 we might as well not bother. Shouldn't be 40, but 30 - 33,000 in a properly compact, vertiginous stadium would be my preference, with decent legroom and big concourses and half decent food and beer. If we can get that at Old Oak, also fine. More concerned with it being a proper stadium, not a horrible open bowl, than anything else. It can be done. Close to pitch, steep sides, NOISE. |  |

28,000, LCS, Plenty of Exec Boxes, away fans tucked behind the corner flag, family area, cheap tickets, good bars, food options, happy days | |

I've been thinking about this since the whole West Ham thing over the weekend, I don't mind where it ends up being out of the 2 sites, and I get that we'd need to make money from it on occasions other than matchdays, but it needs to be QPR's ideal home before any other consideration.
I'd love 22-25k capacity, rectangular, 2 tier with every acoustical trick in the book to make the atmosphere as good as possible..... A bigger, more rocking Loftus Road with better beer, food, toilets and legroom essentially |  | | |

LCS with a 35.000 capacity. Closer to the Bush though might upset the neighbours if results ain’t so good...”going down, going down, going down” |  |

Fvck it i'm going to say it.
Stay in Loftus Road refurbished as much as possible and maybe undergo leg shrinking operations until I become comfortable.
Seriously though, fvck both of those plans. I don't trust non football people to cater for people like me. |  | | |

I think 30K is still a better idea. |  | | |

We're going to look like right dickheads when the usual 10k turn up v Rochdale. | | | |

Surely especially with FFP any new ground will have to be able to bring in extra finance other than football | | | |

irrelevant, though, baz. it's a stadium for when we play bigger games, not for when we're languishing. Also, seeing as we've only played Rochdale twice since 1960, bit silly to worry about how many people will be there for a Rochdale game? | |

He just doesn’t want us to look stupid in front of Rochdale’s travelling massive. [Post edited 12 Mar 2018 14:09]

I’m going to be there for the games that arn’t big, so it’s relevant to me!
Substitute Rochdale for Barnsley or Scunthorpe.
I understand the need for a bigger stadium, it just isn’t for me really. [Post edited 12 Mar 2018 14:12]

Sadly, not possible. Been covered many times on here but the cost and feasibility is just not there. Capacity/legroom is just one factor of what a stadium provides/functions as.
All the off-pitch aspects are a bigger collection and LR just isn't up to it anymore.
I went on a stadium tour a few years ago and it was so sad to see that the dressing rooms, match officials rooms, media centre, post-match interview area, catering facilities etc are just not up to it anymore.
The catering aspect is a big issue as it needs to be able to function many other days of the week for non-football things too in order to help with a big slice of the income. 75 seats (or not far off) that we have at the moment is just not enough. |  | | |

While I accept the rationale behind the call for a bigger stadium, the departure from my and your home-from-home will be the natural effluxion of my interest in football. I suspect we will only truly come to appreciate LR when we leave it.
The trick for QPR will be to learn from all previous ‘new stadiums’ and ensure we apply what works and, as best as possible, eliminate what doesn’t. This is especially so because you can go far and wide, but when HQ rocks, they’re ain’t nowhere like it!
All this being said, I first went through the turnstiles as a pup in 1973. The issue of a ‘new stadium’ has been a consistent talking point since then. Given all the variables we know and the imponderables, I suspect we’ll still be talking about this for some time to come. The irony is however, our financial plight being what it is, a huge property development might see those who’ve lost millions to make a bit back. It’s this that will decide it, not whether QPR need a new Jerusalem! |  |

nobody seems to consider the possibility that our attendences will actually go down at a new stadium.
if we're served up the shite we are watching now, don't you think that at least a few fans, coupled with the loss of our home, will consider it not worth going anymore? |  |

Anyone done the research? Plenty of precedents given how many clubs have built new stadiums in the last two decades.
A lot will be to do with how good the entire matchday experience would be at a new stadium. |  |
