    Weakens an already threadbare Southend squad. Think they'll be in real danger this season.

    He was also at MK Dons in the first division, and had loan spells at Leyton Orient, Gillingham and Fleetwood Town. So a lot of experience of a range of League One clubs.

    Don't know how he managed that because he was dreadful.

    Found his level now.

    Richmond looked for another site down Apperly Bridge on the other side of near the George & Dragon but was warned it was a potential flood area, think he got some training facilities in Leeds for a short time.
    As far as I know it is now a joint venture between City and the school and we pay rent for the facilities.

    We used to train at Ben Rhyding before we went into admin which because of the unpaid rent nearly sent them bust

    A potential place to develop a training ground with other usage being put on the site would be the old Richard Dunn Sports site. Easy access to the motorway network for players and staff who live in other parts of the country. Perhaps a joint venture for the Council and Club and University? The council could lease the ground say on a 150 year ‘peppercorn’ rate to City and the University. Think they have done something similar in the area! :whistle:

    Not sure which pitches @Mickey bantam@Mickey bantam is on about the one at the entrance of the school is a great surface which the kids play their home games on and that are used for training, the pitches under the railway bridge are also used and have been during my time of popping down to watch training.
    I would doubt very much any manager/owner would accept unsafe amenities, plus as has been quoted the club have access to the pool, gym, treatment rooms, and eating facilities, I know there was a question with regards of "ice bath/baths" not being available I dont know it any gave been installed.

    If a player is constantly not getting it under the cross bar we can sell him on to the Bulls :thumbup:.

    Were they? For as long as I can remember they've trained on the right hand side as you go towards Yeadon?

    There were pitches on the fields opposite the George & Dragon behind the garage/car wash, we played a couple of away games Sundag league and the weren't the best.
