    Slightly concerning that the below-par training facilities keep cropping up.

    The pitch was an issue which similarly cropped up often, until we sorted it out in the summer. Hopefully, the training facilities will be upgraded to Championship-level standard next summer. (In preparation for our return to the second tier of course!)

    Would cost millions and millions.

    Sadly can’t see it happening unless we increase ticket prices and get promoted

    Pretty sure that if the facilities were available for public use when we weren't there then lottery funding would be available. Manningham Mills sports ground would be a good place to locate. Plenty of space although drainage might be an issue as most of it is built on an old tip,

    A bit of perspective.....

    Warnock is used to PL standard training facilities ie Leeds, Villa etc. He also played for Burton before us who happen to train at the England national team’s St George facility

    I’m not surprised Woodhouse Grove was inferior

    Move on !

    I’ve listened to it this morning and where exactly did Warnock say the training facilities were 3rd world?

    Warnock did talk about how he joined City when he was a youngster and how it was an eye opener, but i didn’t hear him specifically mention the training facilities and that they were 3rd world? Did I miss it?

    So please could you direct us to the time of it, please? (The programme is available via iPlayer).

    Otherwise I’ll have to go with that you’re full of crap.

    I suppose after training at Burtons FA training facilities then ours will be inferior. I would have thought ours compared favourably though with most other clubs. It would have been helpful to inform what the shortcomings were.

    I didn’t hear it myself but was told about it. Grayson mentioned the training facility not Warnock

    Exactly unlike lower league journeymen like Guy Branston who was creaming over our facilities.
    Just another loud mouth ex prem pro putting the boot in on teams below the elite.

    I'm not surprised Warnock has praise for us.
    I half expected him 'in house' for the coming campaign.
    As for 'Third world' ? No way. Ours are not the best, but far from the worst, by some measure.

    (My first experience in Civvy Street was a Thursday night on the bank of Bradford Beck for 2 hours, having arrived already in your kit ! :eek: No changing room or showers available #Closeseason !!
    As for the worst ? Turning up for Brigg Town in the early 80's on 'Trial'. Now they were poor ! :() Even the Groundsman felt 'over dressed'.

    First time I had seen them was yesterday. I really have no idea what they are talking about. Obviously I haven’t seen inside.

    The "not up to date"training facilities featured heavily in the interviews Grayson did after leaving in May

    I think the club has different priorities when we received all that cup money and wells money and wisdom etc.

    It is now catching up with us

    Huh? Now it’s Grayson who said it?

    But, I didn’t hear him say hardly anything about City (Bradford, as he said) and certainly nothing about the facilities. So what exactly did he say and when?

    (We already know Grayson thinks the facilities should be better).

    Our training facilities are actually pretty decent for our level. The pitches are nowhere near as bad as they used to be and we’ve got all the other stuff like a gym, swimming pool and 4G if required.
    Grayson was obsessed that we should own our own training facility. I don’t really see why it’s that important when we’ve got a good deal with Woodhouse Grove and don’t have the millions it would require.

    I agree. The training pitches are of good quality. They have access to a pool and gym.

    What more do they need?

    Grayson was a miserable tw@t.
