Where is there space for them to move I wonder - or is it a late bid for the Olympic Stadium?

Hopefully they're taking the space left by the beeb moving out of White City, although I think the council (arrogant at having three premier league sides in the borough) might have poopooed that one.

It's been the talk of the Hammersmith & Fulham chronicle for weeks (the closure of the Hammersmith flyover and planned extension of Westfield have barely had a look in)

TBF if I was a football fan I'd probably get myself down to Craven Cottage on a regular basis - smashing little club.

There's also speculation that they'll move out West, Perivale or Uxbridge.

Hopefully the new ground enables you to see the goal from wherever you choose to sit!

They found space for Westfield. I'm sure theyll squeeze a new ground in somewhere.

Nope. They've signed some player or something.

The OP chose not to reveal his source - understandable perhaps given this shambles but questions will be asked.

Agreed. Good signing and about time Park got a chance to be a big fish in a smaller pond as per when he plays for Korea. He may well shine.

Yes, but not before you can't see our goals go in from the away end.

Always a shame when the older grounds go, even the shocking ones like LR.

SSN were trailing it as news on the ground move; should have thought that they would call a press conference to announce that they had signed a player which they had announced a couple of days ago, but hey ho.

This appears to be a statement of intent by the QPR Chairman; if he manages to do this then it will be a major boost for them, and I'm sure that they would get 30K+ fans on a regular basis....as long as they stay in the Premeier League of course.

It's only shocking when in one end.

I've been in the away end and the stand at the side (south?), they were both shocking.
