Election candidates are starting to sign the pledge to support QPR staying in west London. Andy Slaughter, standing in Hammersmith and Fulham, and the area’s MP in the last parliament, signed up yesterday and confirmed this to us .
Frustratingly, details of the QPR board’s proposal to move to Old Oak, and issues such as the ownership of the stadium, remain under wraps. QPR1st would like to see more information and also more involvement by supporters and the community in the proposals.
QPR1st believes it is good to see support from local politicians for the principle of QPR remaining in west London. After the election we expect to meet the incoming local MP to discuss the stadium plans.
The club is encouraging supporters to contact candidates in west London to ask them to sign the pledge and has devised an on-line system to help supporters to do it. Here is a link to further information bit.ly/1ErdsnE
