http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...ter-stadium-club-looks-leave-Loftus-Road.html QPR will reveal plans for a new 35,000-seater stadium within weeks. The Hoops' Loftus Road home is the smallest ground in the top flight with a capacity of just 18,439 and the club have been vocal in their attempts to find a plot of land for a new stadium. QPR chairman Tony Fernandes revealed this week the club are evaluating three potential sites and posted via his Twitter account the club have made a 'great first step' in its attempts for a new stadium. Moving on: QPR are looking to leave Loftus Road It is understood that drawings are at an advanced stages and the Rs will make a stadium announcement before the start of the new season. The plans are likely to be unveiled after QPR return from their pre-season tour in Asia rather than at a press conference on Monday, which many had expected. The club invited the national and international media to the event in central London, where they plan to make a major announcement they believe could help turn the club into a 'global' brand. Global brand: Fernandes There had been suggestions QPR would reveal a new stadium, although it is instead understood that Manchester United's Park Ji-sung will be unveiled. The South Korea international will move to Loftus Road for a fee of £5million once the relevant paperwork has been completed. Park would certainly help the Hoops achieve their aim of becoming a global 'brand' after his success at United, not only on the field but commercially as well. The 31-year-old won four Premier League titles and a Champions League crown during his time at United and is understood to have been swayed to join QPR by their ambitious plans.
There's the 'A word' again, ambition! Do you think its possible for journos to write an article on us without mentioning it any more?!
£5m? I thought it was supposed to be £2.5m or thereabouts?? I suppose we'll never really find out for sure, but 5 seems a bit high considering his age.
Also, I can't stand reading the new player articles on the official QPR site. Each one is EXACTLY the same, just written in a different order. It's like they give each new player a bullet point list of **** to say but tell them to word it how they like.
