You've obviously not been listening to this girl Greta Thunberg .

 

i don't know whether they are or not to be honest It's probably slightly detrimental to training if you're shin deep in water at the moment though. Me too. But if the wages were the same......?

 

So is it under water or not?

 

There's a bit more being discussed here than the here and now but you have your facetious little swipe.

 

It was petty, wasn't it?

I just don't see why fans need to get involved in beer mat dialogue about training pitches or even the actual pitch itself at Valley Parade.

I get that discussing players won't affect the signings in the same way that discussing Apperley Bridge won't affect where we train, but I'm at least interested in what players we have while I see no reason to be interested in where we train or how often we relay the pitch or drainage issues.

Surely it's just fans overstepping the mark?

Maybe I'm wrong - but this is why I couldn't entertain attending one of those supporter's forum nights. It's none of my business, and I'm happy for it to stay that way.

 

I was just bitter and angry because I didn't know

Thank you, sir!

 

Yes, been this morning and the 4g pitches were under water yesterday but not this morning. The pitches closest to the road look like they have water on then but not flooded like the rudgby/football pitches on the ground of Woodhouse. They were clearing all the branches from the pitches this morning.

 

But your happy to have your say on here?

 

Leeds don’t own there’s unless they’re cat 3?

 

The owning bit is the point people are making.

 

Think there's maybe only 1 person saying there poor which they aren't - unless there under water.

As a club it affects it as its an asset, something we don't have. Its not going to happen as the chairmen isn't interested long term. Why would you build a rubbish training ground?

Leeds don't own it but the facilities are excellent and they are looking at building their own.

 

We would need to make out a business case for that, as only residential and businesses would get priority.

 

Tbh I can’t remember why they were sold at the time, but those who made the decision probably did it thinking owning it or renting it wouldn’t make the slightest bit of difference to their ambition to get to where they want to get. As it wouldn’t with us, the reality is if we built our own it wouldn’t have much if any better facilities than we have now. We’d just own an asset. And property assets in Bradford aren’t exactly high value, so I’m not convinced would add that much to the club. All they would do is make Rupp want more money for the club, which could potentially actually put suitors off.

 

They didn't own the ground until recently when the new owner with ambition came in and one of the first things they did was buy the ground back.

Also to add to this Leeds Utd are building a new training ground closer to the city centre that's why they didn't buy Thorp Arch.

 

That's twice I've had a reply to my grant for flood defenses, obviously didn't notice the winking emoji .

 

Well they're building a new training ground as well so the club is moving forward.

 

Hopefully, them wheels stay off

 

I wouldn't care. The owners are looking to move the club forward and finding investment to do things.

If Mr Rupp isn't going to put his hand in his pocket then he needs to do the same.

 

It's potentially a massive club, only less than 20 years ago they were in the champions league semi finals. But like anything it comes at a cost. Their downfall mirrors ours on and off the field. If Radrizzani or whatever he's cal

'I wouldn't care' doesn't pay the bills.

Where was this game played if Rawdon Meadows was flooded.
Put on official website 3 hours ago City’s under-18s side - which included six under-16s and one under-15 - bounced back to winning ways with a 3-2 home victory against Lincoln City.
