QPR have today published the club's response to Hammersmith & Fulham's consultation on the future of the Linford Christie Stadium.
The site is believed to be the only possible place for a new stadium that would guarantee keeping QPR in W12 in future.
The document outlines the club's desire for a 30,000 community stadium that retains the best aspects of Loftus Road, such as proximity to the pitch, but can also be utilised for community use.

The club has asked for space to expand the work of the its award-winning charitable arm, QPR in the Community Trust, as well as facilities to provide education and training with local partners and to promote the use of Wormwood Scrubs for exercise and recreation.
Speaking as the document was published, QPR CEO Lee Hoos said: "QPR supporters love our home at Loftus Road but they also understand better than anyone its limitations.

"Much as we wish it wasn't the case, the club simply cannot survive here in the long term.
"It is the third smallest ground in the league, with little or no non-matchday use, facilities that are severely outdated and no ability to redevelop on site.
"For the club to be sustainable we have to move and QPR's involvement in the future of the Linford Christie Stadium is, as far as we can see, the only option that would keep us in W12 in the medium to long term.
QPR make generous gesture by offering naming rights to Loftus Road to a local charity
"Over the last two years we have met dozens of local organisations such as schools, charities, residents groups and the police to listen to their suggestions about how a redevelopment of the Linford Christie Stadium site involving QPR could benefit the area. It is important for us to be transparent with supporters as well as the local community about what we want to see there, which is why we have published our response to the consultation.
"We believe a 30,000 seater community stadium could not only provide a new sustainable home for QPR and keep us in W12 for the long term, but it could be a hub for the community on non-matchdays to benefit the local area. The potential for an exciting community sports hub with QPR and QPR in the Community Trust at the heart of it is huge."
QPR supporters, local residents and stakeholders have until 12 June to take part in the consultation.

"Baby boomers" is a nickname for people born between 1946 and 1964.

Following World War II, soldiers returned home and sought to resume their lives as civilians. Having been away from home, in many cases for years, these men sought to restart their lives. Women, many of whom had served in the military or worked outside of the home during the war, also sought new lives. In many cases, this meant starting a family. Because of this, the birthrate skyrocketed following World War II, causing people to refer to this period as the "baby boom." Contributing to the birthrate, a strong post-war economy also led couples to begin families. The number of births increased following World War II, reaching a peak in late 1957.

Baby boomers became known for their rebelliousness. Coming of age in the 1950s and 1960s, during the heart of the Cold War, many of these people rejected the more conservative and fear-driven lives of their parents. They sought to live life to the fullest, commonly challenging societal standards, including but not limited to sex, drugs, and music. The consumer culture skyrocketed during this era, as youth tried to improve their lives with material goods. Taking the advice of President John F. Kennedy, many baby boomers also sought to help their country. They actively protested the Vietnam War and the proliferation of nuclear weapons. They called for equal rights for women with men and for various racial minorities with whites. They also became leaders in the environmental movement, seeking to preserve the world and its resources for future generations. As the baby boomers aged, many of them became much more conservative in their views. In many cases, these former radicals became outspoken opponents of premarital sex and drug use and became staunch supporters of a strong and active military.

The baby boom dramatically influenced life in Ohio. During the 1950s, Ohio's population swelled by more than 1.7 million people. Ohio's industries prospered, as companies produced items for the surging population in both the state and in the wider nation. As the Vietnam War escalated, some Ohio students played an active role in protesting the conflict. Perhaps the most famous anti-war protest in the United States took place at Kent State University. Ohio National Guardsmen killed four protestors. Ohio became the birthplace of Rock and Roll, to the chagrin of many parents. Now, as Ohio advances through the twenty-first century, many of the baby boomers have forsaken their more radical ways, illustrating the increasing dominance of the Republican Party in state politics.
