The Ealing planning committee will deliver their verdict on our Training Ground application at Warren Farm on April 24th.
I'm betting that we will get approval.
The club have new youth facilities at the Concorde Club in Cranford as well at the moment, as detailed in Sunday's programme, which look good.
Have to applaud the board for moving forward with this area of the club. Nice one and thanks!

R’S GET WARREN FARM GREEN LIGHT Club gets go-ahead to progress plans for new training ground
QUEENS Park Rangers football club is delighted to confirm it has been given the go ahead to progress its plans for a state-of-the-art training ground facility at the Warren Farm site.
At a meeting this evening (Wednesday 24th April), Ealing Councillors voted in favour of granting planning permission for the club's proposal to build a full multi-purpose Elite Training Facility and Community Sports Complex on the Warren Farm site.
It is intended that works will begin in the coming months, with the facility set to be ready ahead of the 2015/16 season.
QPR CEO Philip Beard told http://www.qpr.co.uk: “This is a landmark day for Queens Park Rangers Football Club.
“We are hugely grateful for the support shown by all parties, especially the local residents, who we hope will benefit extensively from the range of facilities and activities that will become available over the course of the coming years.
“There is a lot of hard work ahead of us as we finalise the design details and tendering of the project, but today’s news is a massive step forward and a significant milestone for the club.”
The Elite Training Facility will house the entire football department, including our thriving Academy.
It will provide: grass pitches for the first team and academy, an indoor 3G pitch, an outdoor 3G artificial pitch, extensive gym, sports science and rehabilitation areas, Academy classrooms, a large number of changing rooms, media, catering and grounds maintenance facilities.
The Community Sports Complex will use the extensive experience of QPR in the Community Trust to develop participation programmes and forge stronger and deeper local connections.
QPR in the Community Trust will create a progressive programme of sporting, educational and social activities, leading to enhanced life experiences for Ealing residents and its neighbourhoods.
The facility will encourage participation in sport and will promote healthy and active lifestyles in a purpose built and safe environment.
The new site - explained
The Warren Farm site will be developed into a full multi-purpose First Class Professional Elite Training Facility and Community Sports Complex, which will incorporate state-of-the-art facilities.
These facilities will be used by both our professional and academy footballers, as well as the community, and echo our ethos of being ‘more than just a Football Club.’
The development will be designed to meet the Club’s professional training requirements, and will meet the Elite Player Performance Plan (EPPP) Category 1 criteria, with a layout of natural and artificial training pitches and grids. These facilities will provide a platform for the development of home grown talent.
Community facilities will be developed in line with Sport England and National Governing Bodies standards. The community facilities and community development programme will be managed by QPR in the Community Trust.
We see this element of the proposal as a true partnership with the council, local sports clubs and wider community users.
The community will have some of the best facilities for people of all ages and levels of ability to participate in a wide variety of sports including football, rugby, cricket, basketball and netball. Sporting programmes and activities led by professionally qualified coaches will be implemented, and will include input and appearances from professional players from QPR.
The development will incorporate Secured by Design recommendations and will meet with the Council’s Sports Strategy and public sports participation targets.

Warren Farm potentially more than a training ground. It can embed #QPR as a big club in west London, which is what Rangers should be.

From the Daily Mail online Relegation is looming, but QPR can build for better times after new state-of-the-art training ground is approved By GERARD BRAND PUBLISHED: 12:54 GMT, 25 April 2013 | UPDATED: 12:54 GMT, 25 April 2013 QPR may be destined for life in the Championship, but the club have confirmed it has been given the go ahead to develop plans for a top-flight standard training ground facility at Warren Farm in London. At a meeting last night, Ealing Councillors voted in favour of granting planning permission for the club's proposal to build a full multi-purpose training facility and Community Sports Complex on the site. The facility is set to be ready ahead of the 2015/16 season, with work beginning in the next few months. Indications are that the club will invest £30million into the site. New beginning: The facility at Warren Park would be available to the wider community as well as the club 'This is a landmark day for Queens Park Rangers Football Club,' CEO Philip Beard told www.qpr.co.uk, with the club moving from their current home at the Imperial College Sports Ground in Harlington. 'We are hugely grateful for the support shown by all parties, especially the local residents, who we hope will benefit extensively from the range of facilities and activities that will become available over the course of the coming years. 'There is a lot of hard work ahead of us as we finalise the design details and tendering of the project, but today’s news is a massive step forward and a significant milestone for the club.' Improvement: The new complex will be a step up from the Harlington training ground, once used by Chelsea The site will include grass pitches for the first team and academy, an indoor 3G pitch, an outdoor 3G pitch and sports science and rehabilitation areas. But the new training ground will not just be aimed at progressing the first team at the club, with the 'QPR in the Community Trust' creating a programme of sporting, educational and social events to aid those in the surrounding areas. This means the facilities can be used by the wider community, as well as QPR's professional and academy players.

Looks quite a big site.
Why didn't we try to go for a new ground there?

yeah, sort of guessed that, but thought I'd think out loud.
Sure we could have made enough concessions to LB Ealing though to sort something maybe?
