Work On The New Training Ground Has Started Today 11th July 2022

[Mr Browns Ghost]

Isn't the pitch nearest the car park meant to be our show-stopping revolutionary hybrid pitch?

Yes that’s right sake quality as arsenal

It’s pronounced Saka

Looks like an arsenal attacked it

Came past the training ground just now , and there was a tractor with a water tanker , seemed to be filling the green water tank up.

My water butt is pretty full and I don't have a big enough garden to keep up with it. Willing to bottle it up and bring it to the training ground.

The Roots Hall pitch is coming along. It’s patchy in places, but I was expecting it to still be a sandpit, so the below photos should at least put minds at ease that it hasn’t been abandoned.

The same can’t be said for the new training ground though. Whilst the middle pitch looks green, the one closest to the car park looks ****ed. I’d assume they’re trying to salvage at least one of the pitches (the middle pitch, obviously) in the hope of moving in there at some point this season.

From those pictures and having been at the new training ground for a tour that looks like the top quality pitch that has been left to rot. A real shame because the standard of that was meant to be very good, not sure the need for it being that high with the state of some of the pitches played on (Roots Hall included)!

They need to make those fences higher with Powell's shooting

This is a football pitch near where I live. I believe it is a similar pitch to the training ground with plastic fibers. Anyway, the left side is from google streetview, taken in May this year. The right side was taken yesterday, about 6 weeks later. I reckon we have nothing to be too worried about.

This is looking at it positively, but in order to achieve the said improvement in 6 weeks, we would need funds from Ron in order to pay for water, the correct equipment and staff, something RM is clearly not capable of or is not willing to do. I praise the optimism, however until Ron is gone and funding put into the club we will not have a decent training pitch, or club in which to play on it.

It’s as simple as fertiliser that’s what’s needed on it to get it back on track, but the club won’t pay for it … shock

There's plenty of **** that comes out of Rons mouth. Use that

 

[Holy Joe]

Any sign of the temporary buildings or any prep work? I thought the temporary buildings had already been purchased

Put some broken glass on it and send a call out for Barry Fry.

Over a month since planning permission was granted for the temporary buildings - which I'm sure I read somewhere had already been purchased. Any update on the state of the new training ground?

Has the club signed a lease on the training ground yet? Is something preventing that (other than no buildings!)?
