If the club does close this deal I feel you should have to eat something, a scarf perhaps or at least a sock. |
He was right. |  | | |

It’s a great deal for the club pretty much ready to move into now , infrastructure in place bit of tidying up in places decent place to be , no real re building of the site unlike warren farm , better location . What’s not to like , we could be using it pretty much straight away is my guess once the paper work is signed off , anyone know how much person we pay to rent the current training ground ? |  |

In the accounts somewhere, and rent counts v FFP (not that I think FFP is a thing any more) while investment in infrastructure doesn’t. It’s my understanding that they will still relay the pitches and redevelop/rebuild there, must just move in and keep it as is. But, again, that was before all this sht went down. | | | |

They will upgrade of course but that work will be Adams site quicker to finish then the total rebild of Warren form would have , didn’t Hoos say something along the lines of a years work just for moving the soil etc | |

Brian my old mucka....
I owe you one in any case, and I'm happy for that to be a dozen.
Look forward to a day spent in W12 catching a few cold ones, telling tales of Mike Penton and his Radio 1 dulcit tones complete with coffee breath, getting drunk and maybe even watching 96 minutes of lukewarm football.
Stay well fella. |  |

Yeh Warren Farm is on a slope as several on this thread have attested to so would have needed levelling. | | | |

The other thing I love about Option 2 (if it is the one rumoured) is that it's even deeper into Bentfords territory
Nice | |

While I do think the club has been genuine in trying to do this CV may well kill it.
No one knows how damaging this virus is going to be to football as a whole.
Just our luck. |  |

Is that where Brentford attract their support from these days? Cranford, Norwood Green, Southall, Heston, Hounslow West? |  | | |

No, there 6-7k core support have moved West and South West of London, similar to our 12-14k core support - Recent top up predominantly Arsenal, Chelsea 2nd clubbers who either never go to watch their 1st team or can't afford to take their kids to watch Premier League games. | | | |

So Berks, Surrey and further out.
I didn't see the largely ethnic Asian population as a hotbed of Bees supporters.
Maybe Man U? | | | |

Thinking positively, it would still be a step toward sustainability so hopefully still a good move even if funds are tight. Reducing rent costs and having a freehold on our training ground should still make sense in a post CV world. I would also assume that selling off the land and consolidating Imperials facilities on one site will still be a solid decision for them post CV. I suspect it will be the upgrades/re-building the facilities on the site which will get delayed.
I just hope that the land is next to useless for developers or anyone else not looking for a sports ground. Any other party would probably only be interested if they thought they could get approval for a change of use, so I hope there's some sort of protection on the land to stop change of use and put them off. |  | | |

If we've got money to spend then at this moment in time I'd rather it was spent on this. £2-3m striker who might turn out to be shite or land for a training ground that could potentially make the club 10 times that. |  |

Quite a few 'round my way (Whitton/TW2 area). I don't mind as a) it's actually 'their' area and b) nice to see shirts of a local clubs rather than the usual Manu U, Liverpool, Ch*****, Arsenal, R Madrid, Barca etc.
I see quite a few QPR shirts around here too so that adds to the fun  |  | | |

Agreed. I'd like to think that a better training facility with a better environment for the players at the training ground will help the team push on and possibly assist with signing players in the future. | | | |

"Thinking positively": Jim, Jim, Jim, steady on or they'll be sizing you up for the wicker man |  |

Was speaking to a friend of ours who lives near Plan B and asked if she knew anything about this; her response was “God I hope that’s true”
Not because she’s desperate to see good news about QPR and a progressive approach by us; but because the rumours round there was the land may be subject to some covenant breaking development.
I know nothing else but really hope it gets pushed over the line ASAP
Past track record and all that.....
(PS... no hats are on offer for consumption regarding Plan B)  | |
