THE ONLY WAY TO GET SMARTER IS BY PLAYING A SMARTER OPPONENT

Someone has elsewhere suggested a fixture at Brighton's new stadium and if the club had been clued up they could have arranged a SL match this summer against a big northern name like Bradford and used the fixture as one of the testing matches that they have for health and safety before they ramp it up to full capacity. I know Brighton might want this for themselves but a 10,000 plus crowd and free tickets for Brighton sth's and Sky Sports showing London having fans and we'd be showcasing the game throughout the South of England.

But aren't QRL tennents though rather than a 50/50 partnership with QRU?
If they went in to a 50/50 and bought Loftus road they could be Saracens RU and London (insert name) RL. Both clubs retaining their own identity.
I think both clubs would benefit with a home in Central London not only that but in Shep Bush near 2 tube stations, 10 mins from the west end, countless pubs and an Antipodean community on the doorstep to help bump up the numbers. Regards the advertising, they could remove the first couple of rows and not really worry as it's not as if they will fill an 18k stadium for a while.
rlIf/when QPR do move stadiumsrl then it should be a serious consideration and a joint venture of You guys and Sarries with a possible little help from both the RFU and RFL. This would put both clubs in as strong a position as is realistically possible. |

I was under the impression that Loftus Road was up for commercial development is sold.
There is a very nice floodlit pitch with one fully built stand standing idle in the now decommissioned Uxbridge RAF base. The RAF used to play most of their RL and RU games there.
I ahve personally watched many inter service RL games there, which were regularily officiated by the likes of Bentham & Co.
A little investment and a couple of stands similar to the ones North and South of the Stoop, hey presto. Good travel links and plenty of parking.
The site is up for redevelopment, housing and extention to the existing shopping precinct, i'm pretty sure the plans allowed for a certain amount of sports playing surfaces as well.
Bear in mind its right on top of Brunels Universities main campus.

Brentford.
We were close to 4k average by the time we left. of 14 games there in 2005 only 3 had sub 3k gates.

As I said before Loftus Rd is valued at about 24million, so it's a complete non-starter. It's surrounded by housing so will likely end up with flats on it - if the club do decide to move at some point.

Loftus road is a non-starter....horrible area and for the umpteenth time.....aussies/kiwis are a small area of the target market..... 
If it where up to me.....Fulham! Started there......and if it's going to "fail" then why not back there! |

Fulham would be awesome but while they are in the premier league withstand current owner they have no need for us.
Though I would have never predicted they build a statue of Michael Jackson outside the cottage either l, so stranger things have happened!

Reading the League Express letters this morning seems someone else had the idea of moving to Millwall. I think Millwall was thought about years ago when they moved into the New Den and wanted to have concerts and such like on.

It's a 'horrible area' with the best transport links of any stadium in London. Central Line, Hammersmith and City Line, London Overground, dozens of bus routes all within 5-10minutes walk, and Piccadilly Line a touch further. TV Centre, Westfield, some of the best pubs and restaurants in town. And god-knows how many businesses based within a five mile radius. Yes, Loftus Road is the last place in London you would want to base a team.
Fulham on the other hand has little public transport, is nearly impossible to park nearby, and is surrounded by rich people who'd fight against the club playing evening matches, or any matches at all come to that. In fact, I think Fulham themselves have had trouble with them in the past.
Anyway, I shouldn't rant because neither option will ever come about. Neither club needs the money (what's a couple of hundred grand to them?) or, frankly, the bother of dealing with a team playing in front of 2,000 fans.

Bradford gave us Hockney, Leeds gave us Moyles.:731.jpg |

Fwiw, I'm v pro Stoop, and don't think it's half the millstone it's made out to be on here. However, the talk seems to be of a move and I was surprised the Den was never suggested despite the drawbacks that others have pointed out.

London Broncos looked at Leyton Orient before the football club redeveloped their ground, and in my opinion it is now a modern ground that offers everything the Stoop does and allows the rugby league club to find an identity for itself once again.
www.leytonorient.com/page/Matchr ... 39,00.html
In my opinion it is a modern stadium that offers a top rate matchday experience, a massively redeveloped transport system, an area that is not Twickers, a football club that would probably be interested in an additional revenue stream, a return to North London and out of the suburbs, a connect to the sports promoter Barry Hearn who is the Leyton Orient chairman, the buzz from the Olympics and all of the new housing in the local area.
I could go on, but the theme is that virtually everything that is good about being at the Stoop could be had at Brisbane Road, and we have a chance to build upon solid foundations and the same principles that saw us become Harlequins RL and did look to be growing, slowly, but it really does seem now that there is little interest from the immediate area of the suburbs in South West London and unless there is a Lenagan type investor we should look to move to a new stadium at the earliest convenience.

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

The LSV looks like is has definitely got the blueprint for their main stand from the same architect who built the main stand at Brisbane Road. |
