Apart from all being in the south of England, what makes these little clubs have the ability to be able to do what we can’t.
It’s mind boggling!

Pretty disrespectful calling them little clubs. I’ve not looked at Brentford and Bournemouth but Brighton has an owner who invests (they currently owe him £300m). They’ve paid big money for players and sold them on for big, big fees. We’re doing the same but at a much cheaper level.
 
We’re trying to do what Brentford and Brighton have done tbf.

Whether our fans have the patience for it, is another matter.

Brighton and Brentford are both run by billionaire fans of the club who have essentially written off hundreds of millions of pounds to fund them getting to where they are at mind.

Agree re: the general concept, but it's not really comparable.

Location, location, location.

the NE isn’t a pull, the southern coast/close to London is.

We should move our main training camp south. Have the youth academy in the north east still but the main in somewhere like Surrey.
I think it’s just a matter of time before the mags do it, or put it somewhere warm and beautiful
