Stadium Rumour 11:00 - Jan 12 with 7595 viewsJogo

Just passing on a bit of news I heard from someone involved. Seems QPR are looking into building a stadium on the Linford Christie stadium site in Du Cane Road. OOC is a definite non starter always has been.

That come as a bit of a surprise.

If at first you dont succeed, pack up and f**k off home.

I have a feeling we are running round in circles.

I'm sure there will be plenty of hurdles...

If Tony gets this wrong he'll be for the high jump.

Bare bones.

Running track in the ground would surely equal a Lynch mob flying to Malaysia...

Could see us building a small track next to the main stadium though

and makes me even more of a local fan as it was where I was born - the hospital, not the running track!

I think this plan should be discus-sed quite vigourously.

Good for Ravel Morrison because we're near the prison.

I doubt it will cross the finish line, but referring to the original post why would Tony and the board spend so much time and energy on the OOC of it was never going to happen? - a massive PR exercise, or has it dawned on them that we don't generally require 40,000 seats?

"Thank you for supporting Queens Park Rangers Steep Staircase"... and I thought I'd signed up for a rollercoaster.

The person who disclosed is heavily involved in the ooc development as his company has land there. It said that a stadium in the regenerated ooc development was never going to happen but clearly the club thought otherwise. Appears now that the club accept it won't happen and are reluctantly looking at the west london/Linford Christie stadium as an alternative.

Looking at aerial views of the LCS there's nothing like the space required unless a big chunk of the scrubs comes with it - as far as I can see.

Thats just another repeat of Car Giant saying "over my dead body" - nothing new there.

I had many years ago on good authority that Flavio when he came in was looking at an alternative stadium site and LCS was one that was looked at. A feasibility study confirmed that it was not suitable due both size and access. If OOC is not going to happen then the only other site that I reckon could be available would be the old gas works off Harrow Road. I know that Chel*** were looking at that site as an option a few years back. My gut feeling now is that TF and Co will try and make as much money out of the land acquisitions that they have made at OOC whilst keeping the club close to break even and then sell up and clear off. Or maybe JH's thread a couple of months past about the Butler's warehouse site in Greenford has more to it.

wont happen due location of the hospital is my guess , not enough access by road as it is , add 40k fans each week roads will be a nightmare around the area , there isnt an A+E dept there now which does make a difference to the scheme though.

The LCS site has to be 4 times the size of the current site so plenty of room. The School is next door so easy for the players to park. Closer to the Pavilion and now that Gladwins gone on loan we shouldn't have to knock on the door of Wormwood Scrubbs to ask for our ball back.

Worth looking at and trying to hammer out a deal.

This, it's already been looked in to and a none starter.

OOC, I was thinking the other day that this is dead after the thread about Millwall and on OOC homes are going to be worth a lot more to developers.

Kempton park is being sold off to build 30K homes, it's where the money is.


I said on another thread that I think the club will be sold in the summer and if OOC is a dead duck, they will be off, they have already handed the club over to Hoo
to sort out the books.

Still LBlock will be happy

Just on the Kempton Park thing, the proposal is for 3000 homes in 6 years time and it currently has zero chance of getting through planning
