QPR's new stadium plans

[Return of the Rev]

Quite like it,if we can average 26k in champ i'm sure rangers can pull in av of 35k

There is major regeneration going on in that area so I think that will be taken care of.

It certainly needs it. Those bridges are at the top end need some work.

Looks like the corner is going down the throat of the keeper, unless he plans on hitting it with the outside of his foot.

That was my first impression also. And why is the linesman not looking at the play, rather looking at the weird corner taker?

 

[Seagull on the wing]

Don't let them fool you....Palace when it is clad, will be the bright shining mecca of football

 

[Publius Ovidius]

...and is the player by the corner pointing and arguing with the crowd?

 

[Publius Ovidius]

....and if you zoom into the melee in the penalty box the QPR attacker is blatantly elbowing the defender! Shocking scenes

 

[Publius Ovidius]

....and the orientation of the shadow is wrong for the corner taker. This is a moon landings scandal!

 

[shaunslats]

now that stadium looks boring, just a rectangle, no unique features.

 

[Publius Ovidius]

....the far corner looks like someone has dropped a Star Wars imperial battle cruiser on its end

 

[ditchy]

This is QPR's way of beating FFP they will be part of a bigger development which will bring in millions .Basically they will become a subsidary of a massive property company ( See todays Times)

 

[Hastings gull]

Yes when we play them!

Strangely, you may think, but I feel they could fill it, as we shouldn't get hooked up with the size of current crowds. Who would have thought that Southampton would fill their stadium, given the lack of size of the Dell -was it about 17,000 max? I am sure that I read many years ago that the Albion still had a fan database of 20,000+ during the bad old days at Withdean, ie those who had gone to Withdean albeit on an irregular basis, and so the crowds at the Amex don't really surprise me. It is a question of getting into the habit, I suppose, and if the experience is deemed by thousands to be worth it, then the crowds will come. The converse is also true, of course, -if the football gets worse . . . . .

That ground looks like a cross between a soulless bowl and Stamford Bridge - also cant see QPR filling a 40k ground, even if they got promoted again.

Wow! As I started to read your reply Julian Lloyd Webber is on the telly and said Leyton Orient

If he avoids kicking the corner flag

I like ita lot, loks like a proper Stadium. The one think I don't like about the Amex is the single teirs behind both goals.

This... although I wouldn't want to sit behind the goal in any stadium.

 

[The Large One]

The linesman isn't paying attention at all.

In fact, there's so many basic errors in that image, I'd be amazed if they got planning permission.

 

[strings]

Oh dear. The second photo seems to have been created by the same bods hope who masterminded that Portsmouth creation that looked more like a bidet. We know where that story ended.

Yes indeed, although my first thought was Southend's sperm stadium. Seemingly the more glitzy the artist's impression, the less likely it is to actually happen.

 

[Badger]

They'll build it but then 'arry will want to put in another 10,000 seats on loan, just in case.

 

[HawkTheSeagull]

Looks great, if in the Prem their crowds will jump dramatically as there are no spare tix in Central London grounds & 8m + tourists...a lot of away could take 5k, some more

Fulham still get plenty of seats, as does another club in South London - though that may have something to do with ground standards.

Didnt Portsmouth want to build a similar new ground whilst 'Arry was in charge ?

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

With QPR in that Stadium, the Hammers in the Olympic Stadium & Spurs in a brand new 60k arena, I know of at least one London club that will be feeling very sorry for themselves!!!

Brentford have been given permission to build a new stadium , it was announced a few days ago.
