QPR in talks over new 40,000-seat stadium
BY Tom Walker
Queens Park Rangers Football Club (QPR) has begun initial talks over the possibility of building a new 40,000-capacity stadium.
It's believed the club is looking into a site at Old Oak Common in West London – close to its current home Loftus Road, which has a capacity of 18,400 and has been deemed too small to fit in with QPR's plans of becoming a regular Premier League club.
The club's discussions with Hammersmith and Fulham Council - and the Greater London Authority - are thought to be at an "advanced stage", although a spokesperson declined to comment on the exact nature of the talks.
If the talks are successful, the stadium could form a part of a larger redevelopment of Old Oak Common, where a 100-acre area has been identified as being suitable for regeneration.
