Training ground

[Bigstutyler]

Are the team still training at Boots and Laces ? Was something in the deal that we can continue to use it until the handover of Roots Hall subject to Fossetts ?

I am pretty sure they are still using B&L. I did pop over to the new training ground yesterday and took a couple of pics, although things are progressing slowly it does not look ready yet.

I reckon we could use it for the next few years if we wanted to.. originally we were to vacate B&L to allow access for the building work, but that could be a very long time away!

Lots of nice new Forza goals there. They’re not cheap. More COSU expense.

@Cricko The pitches look a bit parched in the picture. What was it like to the naked eye?

We were told at Liaison the other week that they hoped to be over there in a couple of months.

Certainly not playable in their current state. Not been looked after (again!).
I'm assuming that similarly to the the RH pitch, the absence of the head groundsman very recently while on hols, left things to lesser knowledgeable persons and inappropriate maintenance.I
Whilst cosu have done amazing things the basics behind the scenes still need a lot of attention, probably at a cost.

Not being funny as we all deserve breaks, buts why’s the head (only?) groundsman going away at most important time of season regarding getting pitch ready? Weird.
