Really? The place they spend most of their time and is a large part of how they would improve?

 

Well it's a fact isn't it? If a players looking at a club to sign I can guarantee the clubs location, wage and level of the squad all trump the training facilities. What part of our setup restricts a player from improving now because as far as I'm aware everything needed is there and surely most of a players development comes from the coaching?

 

Absolutely not a fact. Referring back to my post, any decent player at a higher level would look at training facilities when deciding whether to make a move.

A school where kids are attending, or a facility solely for the club in question.. I think I know which i’d go for.

Besides, my original post which you responded to was referring to if we were to progress up the leagues then it would be a hindrance when trying to entice the better players, it has probably no real impact at this level.

 

I think we'll agree to disagree, last thing on the list for me. If a clubs offering me an extra grand a week but the facilities aren't quite as good I'd still take the money and I'd bet most players would. If you can tell me what facilities we have and the set up we have for training I'd take these thing seriously but you don't have a clue what the set up is between the school and the club so to try compare it to other club who you don't know their set ups is not great...

 

Is it a fact? I know that if I was a player the place I would be spending most of my time would be high up on my list.

Just like if I went for a normal job and the offices were a dump I wouldn't go.

 

I would hardly call it a dump when it’s shared with one of the most exclusive Schools in the area.

 

But that's partly my point, they aren't sub standard. If a club offers me an extra grand a week I'd go there!

 

Never mind poncy new training ground let's get Valley Parade pitch right first, it's dreadful

 

It's a dump.

We're a professional football team not a pub team. It's a school field no matter how you dress it up.

 

This continues to come up but If this is what the fans want, let’s give McCall a longer contract and tell him it’s part of a project.
get the ridiculous wage bill down, you will get a top ten budget for league two and a portion will be taken towards new facilities. Then if we get player sales/ a cup run. 25 per cent goes back in budget for this season for example and rest towards the new facilities.
if Lincoln can build one for 1.3 million, how much can we realistically build one for? I think the 5 million quoted is pie in the sky to scare people off the idea

 

100% agree. Think the club deep down know they need a training ground and are a little embarrassed but don't want do it so say figures like 5m(we could build a training ground for less than 5m) to scare fans off going on about it when it's clear that training at a school isn't acceptable in 2020.

Other teams are building new training grounds and advancing.

 

Too right it is. The same person was quoting 15m a few months ago.

 

What do most training facilities consist of?. Several football pitches an all weather pitch, gym and treatment rooms seems all the above are covered at Woodhouse Grove so whats the problem?.

 

Current problem is flooding

 

Freek weather.
