Chelsea and QPR look for new homes

London rival West

want to leave their old stadium, but the sites are suitable for premium

Queens Park Rangers and Chelsea - long-time rival west London - on Sunday responded to Loftus Road for the first time in the league for 15 years. But now add the dimension of the mutual antipathy of clubs - with everyone in a race for one of the few sites available for a new stadium in the suburb of Hammersmith and Fulham to share

higher monetary returns, as usual in the Premier League, is the catalyst for the expansion projects of clubs. Chelsea look with envy at the economic transformation of Arsenal since arriving in the UAE in 2006 and 60 000 seats in the 75 000

well now you can see Manchester United Old Trafford. Note QPR and Stoke City Sunderland and built again allowed them to obtain more funds from its fan base.

Tony Fernandes, the new owner of QPR wants to move away from Loftus Road, but not for what he calls "a fantastic place." If the Malaysian businessman, who bought the club this summer, you can increase the safe and effective use of land, the next step is relatively simple. Neil Warnock, the manager, said: "We are talking about a new stadium, Tony is one of the owners, with other shareholders, yesterday I received .. "

Chelsea are aware of their ambitions and wants to act quickly. However, the owner of the oligarch, Roman Abramovich, the scene is complex. The club insists that no final decision has been made to move. If they do, the plots were identified, with an area next to Battersea Power Station favorite, black sites and Earls Court and City options. Earls Court is the preference of the club on the site to the north, because it is closest to Stamford Bridge, and will allow fans to continue with its current rituals of pre-and post-match. If Capco, owner of Earls Court is ready to resume talks with Chelsea and the club will be happy to accept this opportunity.

While Roman Abramovich wants to leave Stamford Bridge with its capacity to 42,000 for a new home that can accommodate between 55,000 and 60,000, Warnock believes that QPR could regularly attract at least 30,000. "When I was in Huddersfield [1993-1995], we mean something like 4000 in the old way of Leeds, then in a McAlpine has tripled 12,500 days."

Opponents offer Abramovich are not against the move, but we want a new law signed the first destination. Richard King, president of the CPA, he is careful to balance the interests of each party. "As directors of CPO," he said, "we had an obligation to ensure that shareholders could discuss the proposal of the club and then vote. It is for shareholders to decide, not us."


is clear that Chelsea need to move. "I was watching Chelsea for years. It's like a second home. On the other hand, I understand that due to its location on the stage can not be extended. Play with the financial playing field for coming, we need a big stage of the competition. then finish Spurs, because they have a higher stage and therefore a stronger team than us, it's too horrible to contemplate. "
