This was the site of Park Royal football stadium. Built by the Great Western Railway alongside their station of the same name it had a claimed capacity of 60,000 and was home to Queens Park Rangers from 1907-1915 when the Army requisitioned it in the name of the war effort.More than twenty years after Rangers were forced out the site remains undeveloped. What would QPR give for a site like that today !? |
