    TF can call it whatever he likes as long as it makes it better for you locals and the club as a whole. Great stuff, planned progress is good.

    The Sun says 35,000 seater stadium to be announced very soon.

    Expect 45,000 seater stadium announced in August.

    Encouraging but I think I'll hold back my unbounded joy until it's reported in a serious newspaper

    I think we should go for 3,500,000 1 seater stadiums ... EG: get a decent exclusive QPR TV service running and spread the word worldwide ... the silly sods at the club who read this may even let the penny drop eventually

    I hope this is true, although I think 35k is the maximum we should be looking at. I can't help but feel if we go any higher and we'd have a lot of empty seats and real lack of atmosphere.

    Having watched the lucky scum last night and from what you hear from the club about wanting a multi-purpose venue to compete with The O2 for concerts etc, what are the chances of having a smaller version of the Amsterdam Arena? Air Asia Arena sounds good......

    The location is the most important aspect for me. Will miss the walk up the Uxbridge Road.

    The facilities within the stadium and the comfort levels for the fans will be important factors too. Realistically, when are we looking at having it built, August 2016??

    I would say longer seeing as it is taking about that time just for the training ground

    In the UK probably 2-3 years. In the US or the Far East, 18 months or less.

    Come on Tone, get it done! There are at least 15000 of us willing you on and 20000 tourists who will benefit from every home match once we are back in the PL.

    The Air Aisia Arena, or, as we will affectionately call it, The Triple A. OK with me or is that a bit too much like a Western Movie title or the name of a ranch?!
