QPR’S new £200 million ground due for season 2018-19 will have the best of Arsenal – and whisper it softly, Chelsea as well.

The model for the 40,000 seater at Old Oak just north of Wormwood Scrubs will sit on a ‘podium’ as does the home of the Gunners that eases access for fans.

The complex will also house a hotel and other conference facilities – similar to the home of the fierce rivals at Stamford Bridge.

But there are plenty of boxes to tick before the first backside plants itself on a seat and gazes out at Rangers 16th ground since their inception in 1882.

In his first major interview since Hoops announced plans to leave Loftus Road, chief executive Phil Beard insisted the whole project depends on government improved transport facilities, especially at Willesden Junction – the nearest rail station.

He said: “If you’re going to serious about a new stadium that provides more than just football you’re going to have to be serious about transport links as well.

“We can’t develop the land without the infrastructure in place. It would be a major barrier without it.”

Rs are looking at February 2015 to submit plans for council approval, and insist the project goes ahead – even if the club finds itself for whatever reason in the lower reaches of the Football League five years from now.

The table toppers are due to face Leicester in a lunchtime kick-off, tomorrow (Saturday), and on course for an instant return to the Premier League.

Should football fortunes blow ill for Hoops in the future – the club have it covered.

Beard explained: “There's no point in building a new stadium and not understanding what you have to do on the pitch as well.

“But we have to build a stadium on a business model and generating income from outside football will be important.

“I can’t get the Premier League to guarantee us a place just because we’ve built a new stadium.”

The crumb of consolation is that should Championship or League One football greet the new home – the seats would be at rock-bottom prices.

“Our intention will be to fill every seat, and dynamic ticket pricing is becoming more and more relevant every year,” added Beard.
