The League Two club have negotiated an option to buy a 7.6 acre site near Kew Bridge which they would use for a 20,000-seat stadium to be shared with a rugby club.

To help pay for the project - which the London Evening Standard understands will cost around £30million - Griffin Park will be sold for housing.

Chairman Greg Dyke said: "This is a major milestone and huge step forward for the club."

The development - on former British Rail land at Lionel Road - will also feature a leisure centre and hotel and conference facilities. The club hope to be playing there by 2012.

Only Millwall and Arsenal have built new grounds in London in recent years.

Brentford plan to share their new home with a rugby club but are yet to start formal negotiations. London Irish, whose agreement to play home games at Reading runs until 2010, are the likely frontrunners.

Meanwhile, under-fire boss Terry Butcher has survived yesterday's board meeting when directors discussed his side's recent dismal run of results.
