I'm actually at imperial college sports ground which is harlington (qpr). Down here now with a team which is on a training session and I've just been told that Sunderland are/were looking at this place for a training base. Don't know how far the other thread went or even if this place was mentioned on it. Came from a guy working here in a high capacity. Cue the usual suspects doubting me though. Lol

what you mean by QPR? pretty sure Brentford is between there and QPR?

60,000 screaming cockneys?
 
If you're poorly run and start training in London you'll still be poor.
Look at QPR. Short is the problem not the location of the club.

Because the same people who've got you in this mess on the field and off it will still be making the decisions, with an added expense or renting the training ground, or even buying it.
Coupled with the raft of shite players that will be more likely to sign based on location alone. All the crap players that wouldn't even consider it supposedly because of location will now be willing to listen.

far too many assumptions in there. don't even know where to begin. better locations attract better talent. otherwise all big firms would have their giant offices in chilton.

Aye having a training facility and a bit of a base for the players when we play in London is a really shite idea.

That's not the intention though is it! The intention by the sounds of it is to move down to London and travel to Sunderland for home games (I recall a club in Russia doing this).
It may well improve you as a club, more able to attract players who want to shop at Harrods as apposed to Primark. Personally I would hate the idea, I feel you will lose your identity, you simply wont be a North East club, you will become a Premier League franchise club. Look at AFC Wimbledon or MK Dons. What a load of American sports bollox it is. However if you are all happy with it, more power to you and it has nothing to do with me anyway.
 
If Sunderland were challenging for the top 4 places in the league every year, the London thing wouldn't be an issue for players.

After this season it will be 5 consecutive years Sunderland have failed to get 40 points. 6 managers in 5 years. Relegation fight every year.
They are the things that put the good players off signing, not the location.
