ONCE again, the club’s thanks go out to the 8,000-plus QPR supporters that completed the New Stadium Survey we ran in May.





The club has now been through all answers and comments from the survey which will be provided to the Club’s stadium architects as the club develops initial design concepts for the proposed new stadium at Old Oak Common.





A few key findings from the survey were as follows:

An overwhelming majority of fans were in favour of the club’s plans to build a new stadium at Old Oak Common

As expected there is a strong desire to capture the essence of Loftus Road and make sure that the new stadium takes on as much as possible of the features which makes Loftus Road a memorable home

85% of respondents favoured a capacity of between 30-40,000 for the new stadium, with 35,000 being the most popular option

62% of respondents would prefer the new stadium to have a rectangular shape, which was more than double the number of respondents (30%) who would prefer the new stadium to be oval

56% of respondents want to see two tiered stands behind each goal at the new stadium and over 67% of respondents want the stands to be steep with the preservation of Loftus Road’s atmosphere and proximity to the pitch being the key driver

A large number of fans expressed the importance of stadium acoustics in generating a good atmosphere

As well as completing the multiple-choice answers, many supporters chose to offer their own ideas of how to create a stadium QPR can be proud of and we’re really grateful for all of them.





The stadium and wider regeneration at Old Oak is a complex project and there will undoubtedly be many issues along the process, but everyone involved is working hard with the relevant authorities to move the plans forward. We continue to make good progress and have the support of the authorities to delivering a stadium led regeneration.





We will keep supporters involved and will continue with consultations about the new stadium’s design in due course.





Finally, our congratulations go to Season Ticket Holder Mark Ryan who was picked at random out of all supporters that completed the New Stadium Survey to win a 2014/15 Nike home shirt. Your shirt will be on it's way soon before they're available to buy at the QPR Superstore on Saturday 19th July.





Thank you for your continued support.
