Queens Park Rangers consider ground move

Tony Fernandes reveals that Queens Park Rangers are looking at the prospect of building a new stadium.

New Queens Park Rangers owner Tony Fernandes has refused to rule out the possibility of the club leaving Loftus Road.

The R's current ground has a capacity of just under 19,000 and there is little room for expansion.

As a result, the only real option left for Fernandes to explore is the construction of a new stadium, should the club wish to grow their fanbase.

"There's potential for another stadium," Fernandes told the Evening Standard.

"The most obvious one would be somewhere in White City. There are parcels of land around there, some owned by the BBC.

"Westfield [shopping centre] has opened up a lot of potential and we would be looking for a stadium of 40-45,000."

The 47-year-old also revealed that he is open to a ground-share option, with London neighbours Chelsea reportedly on the hunt for a new home.

"My first game in Italy was AC Milan vs. Inter Milan. These are two of the biggest clubs in the world and they share a stadium," he continued.

"I'm not saying that we're going to do it but there's nothing that should be not looked at. And there was precedence here; Crystal Palace and Charlton shared at some stage."

Fernandes took control of the club last month.
