    The reply to that question will be yes at some point in the future, hopefully before the dawn of the 22nd...century

    Lack of polish available builders is killing the industry!

    Tony Fernandes has invested in the fixtures and fittings at Loftus Road and whilst we all accept it's not ideal, it is bearable as a short-medium term solution.

    He has been clear in making it his stated desire for Queens Park Rangers to move elsewhere to a larger, multi-purpose stadium - ideally in West London - when a viable opportunity arises.

    I am certain that this vision will be fulfilled, but pragmatic that these huge projects take a great deal of planning. I have no doubt however that we will achieve this goal, albeit that there will be something poignant about leaving Loftus Road, when the time comes for the club to make its next step forward.

    We can rest easy Sku - there will be many other "poignant" moments before that particular one.

    No doubt.

    Loftus Road - Monday 12 May 2014 - Queens Park Rangers 2-1 Wigan Athletic - was one of those.

    Wembley - Saturday 24 May 2014 - Derby County 0-1 Queens Park Rangers - was definitely too.

    Loftus Road - Saturday 20 December 2014 - Queens Park Rangers 3-2 West Bromwich Albion - another one most recent.

    Trouble is short-medium term may well exceed my allotted lifespan. We haven't even started planning yet. We still haven't got anywhere to build a stadium.

    When a viable opportunity arises here are my 'stated desires':
    - immortality, in my 22 year old body, before I really started wrecking it
    - world peace
    - an end to poverty and ignorance
    - an endless stream of new Mad Max films, each better than the last
    - a ****ing new stadium for QPR and a decent team to play in it.

    Now I've stated my desires I'll sit around and wait for them to happen, with my knees crushed into my chin in the Loft, maybe tweet a bit, that's all I need to do, right?

    Totally agree with this. LR's capacity when I started watching when standing was allowed was close to 30K if I remember rightly.

    I remember being in the loft when i was young being squashed with 30K fans in the ground. Magic days which will never be reproduced.

    What was the record 36k or thereabouts for the Leeds game in 73?

    In the 75/76 season we had an average of around 28k and were continually told how poor the crowds were.........if only we could have such poor attendances now......

    If we are going to charge £35 to watch us play Huddersfield I reckon a 25,000 stadium will do us fine.

    Thought the original plan was to switch the unwashed native cash paying customers to nicely turned out South Koreans with shed loads of electronic dong to spare and much shorter legs.

    Plan B was piss off car giant.

    Looking forward to Plan C.
