QPR chairman Tony Fernandes tells the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast show why the club are keen to move away from Loftus Road.

The Rs have annaounced plans for a new 40,000-seater stadium in Old Oak, two-and-a-half miles from the their current home.

“It’s a little bit of a gamble,” Fernandes told Alan Brazil and Neil Warnock. “We’re in a fantastic part of London. We’re going to build 26,000 new homes and hopefully we’re going to get some Hoops fans from them.

“With the transport infrastructure that’s been put in from the GLA and the government, it’s going to be a very accessible stadium. If we’re not awful on the pitch we should have no problem filling it.

“We would hope the stadium is ready for 2018, the whole regeneration will take 10 years but we’d hope to get the stadium up in 2017-18.”
