Sometimes we get kicked off by school as they’re using it for class

    Exactly how many clubs in league one & two actually own their own training ground ?

    “You have to adapt,” he added. “Sometimes we’re on the grass, sometimes the 4G and then sometimes we get kicked off by the school because they are using it for a class."

    I believe this is the quote : “You have to adapt,” he added. “Sometimes we’re on the grass, sometimes the 4G and then sometimes we get kicked off by the school because they are using it for a class.
    Under normal circumstances we wouldn't need to use it unfortunately on this occasion apparently the school needed it, I would think a schedule is made available for both school and club to see with regards using the 4 G pitch.

    Thank you. Seems more of an issue of bad planning than anything else. I am sure this has been discussed on here before about our access to the facilities etc. Anyway not that big a deal in the grand scheme of things.

    For me it’s not about owning the trainning ground. We know due to where it’s situated the grass pitches are unavailable, unsuitable and cause disruption pretty much every winter. It’s causing an issue and one of the many problems that are never put to the club as to why they don’t fix it or explore other options.

    It’s easier to blame Hughes or Adam’s or the 35 players in 2 seasons… listen there a huge problem but so is this.

    Easy for you to say. You're not the one that has to deal with the wrath of poor little Tarquin's parents when he doesn't get to do his weekend constitutionals.

    Yep. Notwithstanding the weather issues, the fact that we don't have exclusive use of the training facilities would prevent our Academy ever being rated higher that it is currently. We couldn't become a Cat 2 Academy, for example, and therefore be able to compete with other clubs for a better quality of youngster whilst ever we play second fiddle to the facilities' owner for access to the facilities.

    I don't think the issue is with regards Saturday as we never need it usually, Alexander seems to be quoting something from the past, as I posted surely both partners know when it will be available and for how long.

    It will have been a simple misunderstanding but of course it won't stop people make a mountain out of a molehill.

    I believe Ryan has said there were substantial improvements made at Rawdon Meadows, it is a partnership which I believe we rent from Woodhouse Grove ( or to a company set up by Woodhouse Grove) so there is no conflict of interest, from what I'm told they paid for the majority of the improvements with us possibly paying a higher rent for the upgraded facilities,
    I'm sure @wetherbywhaler@wetherbywhaler could update us with regards the situation

    He’s too clever GA for him to use that quote if it was a one off misunderstanding.

    If VP was frozen,dont you think the pitches at the school would also have been unplayable.

    Barrow on a normal day training are 1 hr to 1hr 20 away in Manchester dependant on M6 traffic........... I would love City to have an equivalent Man City training facilities (they have hot water too)..... but we cant.

    Barrow to Manchester is over 100 miles away. It's far longer than an hour away even if the roads were clear.

    I think the “bad planning” was based around wanting the 4G surface on a Saturday. Can’t think for the life in me think why we would agree NOT to using it on a Saturday during the football season.
