    If any club is worthy of the name Wanderers, it is Queens Park Rangers. The R's have had more home grounds than any other League club - 12 altogether - and have played individual home matches at two further grounds (Not shown is Home Farm - location unknown - where Rangers played, briefly, in 1890)

    Check the locations on this google map:

    Sh*t! You mean the new Ferdinand-Mittal Stadium (once they get around to building it) will be our 13th?!!! Suggest a two week groundshare in between, to avoid bad karma

    They won't want to leave west London/w12 because that is the 'pull' for players/sponsors/fans/board. No point moving out by Heathrow(wherever) and building some lego stadium complete with DIY stores because the attraction of London will not be there. Plus we don't want some souless ground complete with plastics.
    I believe what beard said when quoting that they won't move far. I also agree that we need Hotel/casino/and the rest to help attract more fans and give us more revenue. <ok>

    Hope you're right and the thinking makes sense, but the corporate world being what it is, nothing's certain. There'd be Cardiff fans last season saying, nah, they'll never make us play at home in red...

    Goldhawk it really makes good financial sense to stay in West London. Heathrow is for planes not football. I am sure Beard and all the advisers will make that clear to the board. Saying that Tony and Amit both know that we need to stay in London. However after all i have said, i think they are serious about a ground share if it came along.
