Guess I didn't win last night.. saves me checking.

 

Out of interest, what will this 5 million pound training centre have that makes it better than the facilities we currently have use of at Woodhouse Grove?
I think it's a bit naive to think 5 million will get us some kind of state of the art facility that will make us a more attractive proposition to potential investors.

 

Hire out the pitches, Hire out the buildings, Hire out the facilities to local teams, let the local community use the facilities.
Create partnerships that puts the club in a good light. Have a local company sponsor the site bringing in more money.
Have a media centre there which improves the club from a communications point of view.
Have I missed something??
As my close friend who is a successful financial advisor always says spend now, everything in the future will cost more. Spend on bricks and mortar and land because despite a few bumps, its one of the very few things which is guaranteed to make you money.

 

Can I ask also, have you ever been inside the Woodhouse Grove complex?? Like in the building??

 

The point is, your 5 million wouldn't get anywhere near to achieving a facility that is as good as, never mind better than what we use now. Double it or even triple it, and you might be closer to the truth but if you think for a minute Rupp is going to invest that sort of money, you are living in cloud cuckoo land.

 

But we don't use the facilities your quoting, just taking your one example of your reply "Achievement Board" that is why Woodhouse Grove can command the type of fees they do because of the achievement both academically and sports wise, the sporting facilities we use are excellent that's the point.

 

Thats not the point we are discussing.
We are discussing what would make Bradford City a more enticing proposition for potential new owners and players joining the club, whilst also adding value for Stefan Rupp.

 

If I won that figure on EUROMILLIONS there are several things that I would do.
First I would buy out Stefan Rupp, then buy back the ground. Then I would buy our training facilities from the trustees of that SH**E school. Then gives Derek the budget he feels he needs to take us forward. Then what?
Oh yes now the the penny has dropped. I would buyout the carwash and install Fordy as City's new CEO.

 

Or in Frank Worthingtons case, around the handbag that Les Chapman shat in.

Clearly not been there. The new pavilion and gym ate superb

 

It’s been a long time coming,…. But someone who actually talks sense on here!

 

Scrap these newsletters. People take the words and contort them to fit their own narrative. If the objective was to create some positivity it's clearly been counter productive.

 

Woodhouse Grove is in Apperley Bridge which is in Bradford

 

Got a link to the league table for schools in Leeds Fordy?

 

Dale hanging on ! Time wasting is becoming obvious by their keeps

 

wrong thread Kev!

 

I don’t need to look at reports, first hand experience, and I found it a very good school, and it still is from what I see daily.
Are you anti private school, or what else you basing your general assumptions?

it’s a good school. It’s not shite as you put, if it was why do pupils still attend?

 

Your address doesn’t have anything to do with which city you live in anymore than your phone number does. They are both set for convenience regarding delivery of a service

 

Postcodes are not an indication of which council area you live in. They are simply used to show which main postal hub your letters come from. I live in the Bradford authority but have a Leeds postcode. Settle has a Bradford postcode. Woodhouse Grove is in Leeds. Similarly, phone numbers are no indication of council area.

 

Yes but run out of French sticks I wonder why.
