Queens Park Rangers face a new threat to their plan to build a stadium at Old Oak Common. Cargiant, the biggest landowner in the area, have now teamed up with the property company owned by the billionaire Livingstone brothers, giving their alternative project more credibility. However, a consultation suggests that 90 per cent of local residents favour QPR’s plans.
Queens Park Rangers face a new threat to their plan to build a stadium at Old Oak Common. Cargiant, the biggest landowner in the area, have now teamed up with the property company owned by the billionaire Livingstone brothers, giving their alternative project more credibility. However, a consultation suggests that 90 per cent of local residents favour QPR’s plans.
Cargiant is now in a partnership with the Livingstones’ London and Regional vehicle and is working to secure planning permission. The Livingstones have been involved with other big development schemes including London’s West Ferry printworks.
QPR owner Tony Fernandes has said that moving stadium is vital if QPR are to survive as a Premier League team. They have played at more grounds than any other club, 16 in all.
