I've just had a leaflet shoved through my front door
You would swear blind from the photos they've used that this place is currently a quaint village green or lovely wildlife reserve. Kids playing cricket, a small child running gleefully through woods and some sort sunbathing on a lovely wide open space
What a load of shite!
I used to HATE playing there and I hung my boots up 11 years ago. The place has got far, far worse since then
They are again banging on about it being worth £66 million - just who to? Well a developer who'll want to concrete over the lot and introduce another 7000 households into the area and effectively add traffic and pollution, congestion, stress on local facilities etc, etc
Obviously being an Rs fan I'm biased but I can safely say as local I'd far rather the land was used by any local sports club. I'd be all for it even if it was Brentford
I would be dead against it if QPR or any other club were looking to build a stadium here
The planned used for WF is ideal and as a local I really hope the SWF people fail to raise anything near the £14k they need to force a judicial review |  |

it's worth 66million to a developer who will it all down and build houses or a supermarket therefore getting rid of all the green they are trying to protect |  | | |

Agreed mate, the thing is the land has been there under utilized, and under invested for 10 to 20 years and now is simply a dump. Where are the actual proposals and money from the so called goody goodies to redevelop it, there are none.
If e redevelop it, and put in place what there saying it will offer better jobs and money for the community, better sporting facilities and even raise house prices as it will improve the area.
If the goody goodies get there way, it will stay empty, under invested for year and become a drug baron for gangs to sell there crap, which will make it a living nightmare for the locals.
I recon the main people behind this is either lawyers or business men who want the land to buy it and make a fortune.
Thats IMO |  | | |

| I know almost nothing about the Premier League even though I try to catch the big games every now and then at the end of the season. But I will say this, Queens Park Rangers is just a fukking sick ass team name. Just sounds so cool. |

<rant> See what pet projects would-be developers are offering Council members. Does one member of Council want a new Library building or swimming pool? Over here a major piece of land got redeveloped after a local Councillor was promised that an existing building would become a Library extension to get her vote. It's now a car park. The building was torn down. After the initial developments were built there have been attempts to get the parts that were designated industry or commercial converted to housing. If a developer gets their hands on Warren Farm, watch for them promising to keep lots of green space if they get the right to build on part of it, and then watch for further nibbling away at the green space once the first development is up. That's what has happened here. And watch for the local environmental "useless idiots" (Stalin) who line up to help the developer "protect green space"... </rant> |  | | |

Played sport there during my school days and it was the pits then. Returned for a one off match as an adult and couldn't believe it had actually got worse. Quite what this group are trying to save is beyond me. |  | | |
