S36 OWL Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 I drive past everyday and their is obviously some major work being carried out on the pitches where the tent use to sit. Apart from a quick look though the section of fence they have removed you cant really see much . Anyone got inside info on what exactly they are doing. A time lapse video would be handy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike312 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Hopefully they're putting under soil heating in so we don't have to train at Hillsborough but I doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like they have ripped out the job lot going on the pile of rubbish in the carpark. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sefton owl Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 I've never actually been to middlewood road. In order to expand the training facilities to what teams like Aston villa, mK Dons and Man city have done, would we need to buy land elsewhere? Or is the land available sufficient? If this is a long term project which it seems to be be, then I think DC needs to get us moving. There must be land out towards Meadowhall that way that we can regenerate and turn into a new academy.

Niagra sports facility will be an extension of middlewood rd and mainly used for the academy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just looked at the training ground using Google Earth and we only have 3 outdoor pitches. For a team aiming to be in the premier league by 2017 that's shocking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To expand to what Man City have got we'd need to buy the whole of Stocksbridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyingOwl Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 (edited) Our training ground is tiny. The three pitches are of poor quality & the dome isn't that great. The indoor facilities are worse. One small building and a large shed for the ''gym''..... Edited July 28, 2015 by FlyingOwl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things like that should be sorted out within the club really.. If your talking about the world class athletes then that's a totally different story as that's where they train anyway, they don't have athletics tracks at their homes do they ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mkowl Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Mk Dons are looking at moving their training ground out of the city as its not deemed adequate. Its better than Middlewood Road at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
