1649_1338292262.jpg I have followed the LONDON CLUB since I was in my teensl even though born in St Helens and still live nearby and went to the first game at Fulham, also Big West Ham Supporter:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_1649.jpg |

| When you think of Millwall FC sadly you do think of a few extreme supporters but at least I feel we have more chance than we will ever have under the Quins name and everything has to be considered, our first time at The Stoop was not as bad as now but then we were not using the name Quins!
It is clear that we have to rid ourself of the name ASAP and look to a more working class area and football ground quickly!

| I'd suggest that the size of the ground would be rather important. Millwall, 20k capacity is just too big for us. It is bad enough with 2kish of us rattling around at The Stoop, another 4000 seats would exacerbate the issue. Also, given the very high percentage of season ticket holders we lost when moving from Charlton to Brentford I'm sure the clubs preference would be West London somewhere.

| This "working class" thing is a load of nonsense too.

| Underhill (Barnet FC) would be perfect for us
A Capacity of 6,200, which is the most realistic figure we should be aimng for

| Saracens are moving in just down the road from Barnet. Would there be room for two codes of rugby to move into the same area? I think we all know which one would have the money and marketing drive required to hoover up anyone in the locality interested in watching rugby.

| Now QPR have gone up and they have a relatively small ground for a prem side would the new owners (very rich) not look for a brownfield site to build a new stadium with better capacity?
The best bet if they must move into a football ground is Loftus Road.
Sarries are looking to move in the Copthall sports area in Mill Hill, but isn't that Skolars territory?

| Fantastic, people are suggesting moving from one Union ground to another, removing whatever small roots we have laid and alientating hundreds of supporters.
You couldn't make it up

Ah yes, a day out in Barnet, absolutely nowhere near London, in a toilet of a ground. Superb, I can't wait. I bet supporters from the North will be flocking to that away game too, rather than an away day at the Stoop, which is generally recognised as one of the best stadiums for watching Rugby League in in the Super League.

| So if we went and played at Millwall, should we expect hoardes of people from Peckham and Bermondsey turning up because these are "working class" areas?
Hilarious argument.
I'd suggest people come and enter the realms of 2011, it's great.

Wouldn't meet Super League standards. I always thought Leyton Orient would be worth a go for you in terms of transport links and capacity, though I could be completely wide of the mark there.

Underhill is a dump but Barnet itself is a lovely area, nice pubs nice high st, a tube station and it's really easy to get to just off the A1 and M25 plus i live there
I'd love it for convenience but having recently seen the stadium, it's an absolute hole compared to the Stoop. In terms of location if you were to build a new stadium i'd be looking in the Acton, Park Royal, Chiswick, Ealing, Greenford, Wembley, Harrow areas in terms of ease of access by car, coach, train, bus.

"That wasn't a kick, the was a pass with his foot!" Brian Noble making Andrew Voss lose sleep: |
|
| The stoops a great ground, though a little far from the pitch, it's just in the wrong area for us, it's not central enough for a casual "Londoner" to get too, anywhere more in central London would be better for this and would encourage more people to come to Friday night games after work, and even at weekends it would make the commute simpler for everyone outside of London.
QPR is a decent shout too and they have hosted RL before, any further away from London especially Milton Keynes would be like giving up on London all together in my view. Give MK their own team to work their way up and see how popular they are before completely alienating this franchise from many supporters.

| QPR is probably the only half decent suggestion I have seen. But I'd still favour our current setup, personally.
Being in central London isn't great for those who want to drive to the match.

| Just say purely for example IF QPR did sell their ground to move somewhere bigger, would the chairman be interested? What would be the cost roughly?
Would a joint venture with Sarries(both clubs to have seperate identity) 50/50 ownership be worth a go?
Plenty of spare land around Park Royal to have a P&R scheme for the travellers.
Anyway reality time, unless Quins RU kick them out non of this will happen and they'll always be Quins RL.
