QPR make improvements to training ground

By

QPR are relaying the main pitch at their training ground as part of several improvements to the Harlington facility ahead of next season.

Rangers expect next term to be their last at the site near Heathrow Airport, as the club plan to move to a new training ground near Osterley Park in time for the start of the 2013-14 campaign.

A players' tunnel has been added at Harlington.

In the meantime, manager Mark Hughes is keen to make a number of changes at his team’s current base, including the upgrading of gym equipment.

A tunnel linking the gym and changing rooms to the training field was also recently erected.

“Obviously there are plans for a new training ground, but before that happens there are a number of things we can do,” Hughes explained.

“I think everybody understands that the current situation isn’t ideal. But as long as the pitch is in good enough condition and we can carry out our work then we’re happy.

“There were things I felt weren’t quite right when I came here and it’s really a question of getting to work and making improvements in the correct areas.

“I know the place well as it was Chelsea’s training ground when I played there. Not too much has changed but there are things we can do pretty quickly.”
