What did it used to be before? I do think we seem to get more non-contact injuries and niggles in training that last longer than they should do and have always wondered whether some of the ground that the pitches were developed on was too hard.

Mr Meadows Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 You can’t polish a turd.. time to sell up and build a new training norton aero drome as mentioned.. would be perfect, build a hotel on site as well and have the players stay there night be a game, like most clubs that take things seriously do nowadays 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our training facilities are a disgrace. You get better facilities at some schools, we're supposed to have elite (and I use the term loosely) sportsmen training there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Times have changed. Where I live, supermarkets must be the biggest driver of building work, except housebuilding. It seems any undeveloped land the supermarkets will snap up and build just to make sure the competition doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mate bought 500 BP garages for his client Tesco so their competitors cant source sites. Edited May 7, 2021 by Hornsby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not anymore - small express and high-end Waitrose yes, but not the traditional big three old-style supermarkets. Asda essentially released most of its land bank and closed the development department in Leeds. Quite a few bits of land available where Tesco had an option and let it expire. Big warehouses are the thing now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
