Default Training ground vanity project

Apologies if this has been raised before, I very rarely start threads, but I wish to know members thoughts on this. I was at the last WST meeting and an update from SH was given. It was revealed that the basic cost was going to be circa £300k but could rise if the specification was raised. Now yes we need better facilities than 9 acre but to me it seems we are prepared to pay (for us) a lot of money for quite a limited amount of space in a land locked piece of land with no room for expansion should we eventually reach the Holy Grail of the FL.
Now with what's going on our finances are going to very stretched for a good few seasons to come. We've struggled to get near promotion since we've been in this hell hole, 1 PO final and 2 close runs to outright promotion in 12yrs, and that's with extra finances such as BtB, transfer fees etc.
So my question is, why don't we scrap the vanity project and try to do a deal with FAW at Colliers Park?. After all don't our youth teams play there?.
