    I got today, apparently the stadium is all ready to go, its been designed and will be built in under a year once the permission is granted. The only person who can object is the sultan of Brunei.
    I thought it would take longer but I think I remember the emirates going up really quickly.

    Also, the NIMBYs are led by a retired solicitor and are out of money hence the oral hearing request. Its just a delaying tactic.

    He's got a place right opposite the land but there's no one else with a habitual property nearby who's allowed to object to it.

    I can't remember if this is the stadium or training ground but someone must know which one that was about because I've seen it posted on here that he lives close.

    I reckon Flyer means the training ground at Warren Farm as the Sultan owns most of Osterley........

    Yeah, we were talking about both and I think he meant the training ground while at first I thought it was the stadium and only realised as I was posting.

    The thing I found most interesting was the speed of the ground, I was told its going to be months rather than years once we get the go ahead.

    The Sultan is near Warren Farm, I made a delivery to him many years ago, I didn't get to meet him but his staff tip very well.

    I've met him a couple of times in the 90s on business and he seems to be a very nice guy. Would be nice if he could be persuaded to take a stake in QPR!

    Find it amazing if it can be built that quickly but great if that is the case.
