Harlequins Rugby League chairman David Hughes would have no issue with relocating the London club if meant owning the stadium.
Hughes told BBC London 94.9: "One day we'd like to have our own stadium."
Since starting life as Fulham in 1980 the club has been based at seven different venues around the capital.
When asked if he is worried about moving location yet again Hughes replied: "Absolutely not, particularly if it's for our own stadium.
The club currently ground share with Harlequins Rugby Union at the Twickenham Stoop, and they will remain there for the next licence period if their application is successful.
"That's our stadium for the three years," Hughes said.
"It's very difficult to find a location in London, where you have the council co-operation, the loans, the finance; it's not easy. The RFL are looking for us as well, because it's got to work for them as well, so nothing fixed at the moment yet.
"However it is very important to have somewhere to call your own and build on that."
David Hughes is interviewed on BBC London 94.9's London Rugby League tonight at 9pm. The programme is available to download free as a podcast on Thursdays from the BBC podcast pages.

Apparently having free tenancy in one of the best rugby stadia in the country isn't good enough for some people... :S
