New Training Ground

[qprjim]

There is a smaller freehold site a bit further up windmill lane by the m4 we was once after could it be there

Do you mean the plot where duration house/ glaxosmithkline play. Would be a great spot if true. The grounds there are always in great nick and there is ample space to build an academy fit complex.

Brentford's training ground is nearby within Osterley Park. Very near WF so could be easy scouting, or maybe not

WFs massive bit of land, footballs currently played on it and won't take much to turn it into a top notch facilities. Close to heathrow as just off A4 so potential for Air Asia, wyke green golf course nearby for a few rounds after training and near QPR heartlands of Hayes, Hanwell, Uxbridge, Ealing and Isleworths Isleworth. Also near Sky HQ, so should get loads of lazy journos turning up for anything premiership related.

Also easy for players to get to as just off A4. Its closer to LR than current training complex.

Just checked the postcode and it falls within southall it Borders osterley and
southall. Be interesting as someone previously threaded or posted that the site near western international Market was a potential site for a new ground, both WF and western international fall within
Souhthall, would give our club a lot more clout if we had a ground and
training facilities within one Borough. Also a Borough that doesn't have 2 other
premiership clubs let alone any other clubs in the league, could be potentially beneficial if hammersmith start being difficult with the sensible move within our existing borough.

Funny how this thread brings back memories, remember doing a cross country
through the Scrubs in the 80s as a school kid nearly killed me. About 20 years later, my wife had our kid at queen charlottes. I remember looking out at the scrubs in terror, wife thought it was the fear of child birth, some things are even more terrifying

Cardinal Manning used to share WF ,don't be hard on him , he's getting on a bit now

[maverick69]

Well. After watching "The Four Year Plan" last night, a new training ground cannot come soon enough.

Harlington looks like a cross between an old comprehensive school and a concentration camp.

Not a nice place to go to work...... although the £25 odd grand a week must soften the blow......

It's a big plot and was used by my school for games lessons, I do remember a teacher saying that it was Brentfords training ground at the time?

I also think it's big enough for a new ground.

Warren Farm ... that brings back memories. Went to Cardinal Manning School in Ladbroke Grove and used smelly Fox of Hayes coaches to get there and back. Always made me sick 'cos of the stench of petrol and I'd like to take this opportunity to say sorry to the poor kid in front of me who didn't move quick enough when I threw up on the back of his nice black school blazer ... wonder how long before he tumbled where the smell was coming from! If it wasn't John Reid he wasn't a Rangers fan so not the end of the world.

Why it could be a blinding site,
A large blank canvas that can be developed as good as in london easy access think of all the multiple uses for a ssports site that close to london ie sports treatment clinic etr
