Thousands of people are supporting Queens Park Rangers' plans to build a new stadium.
The stadium, at Old Oak Common, is also expected to provide 24,000 new homes.
Consultation plans were launched by the football club in September to transfer a large patch of land at Old Oak into a new quarter for London.
Tony Fernandes, Chairman of Queens Park Rangers, said: "We want to thank everyone who responded to our consultation and shared their thoughts with us. We are delighted that so many of our fans and members of the local community share our vision for the future of both QPR and Old Oak. This is only the first stage of consultation and we will continue to work with the community as we develop our plans in more detail.
"QPR have been in the area for over 100 years and have a loyal fan-base. We need to move on from Loftus Road if we are to sustain a top-flight football club and Old Oak Common is the only realistic place for us to move – close to our fans and our roots, with great transport links, and the opportunity to be at the heart of the most exciting new development in west London for years.
"Old Oak is the biggest regeneration since the Olympics and we have a responsibility to future generations to get it right. We need a comprehensive planned approach with a stadium as its beating heart, led by a football club with a stronger interest in the local community than any other kind of business."
QPR will now be working with the three local Boroughs, GLA and local groups to ensure that community benefits are at the heart of the club’s scheme. The club want to provide new homes, businesses, schools, health facilities and jobs for local people.
