QPR to unveil plans for new 35,000-seater stadium as club looks to leave Loftus Road



QPR will reveal plans for a new 35,000-seater stadium within weeks.



The Hoops' Loftus Road home is the smallest ground in the top flight with a capacity of just 18,439 and the club have been vocal in their attempts to find a plot of land for a new stadium.



QPR chairman Tony Fernandes revealed this week the club are evaluating three potential sites and posted via his Twitter account the club have made a 'great first step' in its attempts for a new stadium.

Moving on: QPR are looking to leave Loftus Road

It is understood that drawings are at an advanced stages and the Rs will make a stadium announcement before the start of the new season.

The plans are likely to be unveiled after QPR return from their pre-season tour in Asia rather than at a press conference on Monday, which many had expected.



The club invited the national and international media to the event in central London, where they plan to make a major announcement they believe could help turn the club into a 'global' brand.



Global brand: Fernandes

There had been suggestions QPR would reveal a new stadium, although it is instead understood that Manchester United's Park Ji-sung will be unveiled.



The South Korea international will move to Loftus Road for a fee of £5million once the relevant paperwork has been completed.



Park would certainly help the Hoops achieve their aim of becoming a global 'brand' after his success at United, not only on the field but commercially as well.
