Lee Hoos has fingers crossed QPR will get diggers into the club’s new proposed new training ground by May next year.

Rangers have been stalled at every twist and turn on the project at Warren Farm on the Osterley/Southall border by a residents group hell bent on keeping the near derelict site as it is.

They want to preserve the area for wildlife and walks; Rangers want a 21st facility to replace their Harlington home rented from Imperial College University.

The residents have frustrated Rangers for the last four years, but Hoops’ chief executive predicts the end is nigh after a final judicial review.

“Every time I think to the training ground it moves a little bit further away,” Hoos said.

“But we’re not going to be deterred from this - we’re not going to stop.

“This (the review) looks like the last roll of the dice from the local residents opposing it - and I think there’s only two of them, but I’ll have to check.

“So the judicial review is maybe eight or nine months? The residents have lost the path application; and lost pretty much everything they've done.”

Hoos predicts QPR will then get the go-ahead for a nine month process of importation on the site, where infill will ready the site for building work itself.
