Other clubs have gone in and out of the premier league without anything o show for it. With this being built, and hopefully the stadium expansion too, we are guaranteeing the club has a strong infrastructure for whatever may happen in the future. Exactly my line of thought. For clubs like ours it's usually only a matter of time before we end up back in the Championship. Investing in world class infrastructure whilst times are good means we'll be distancing ourselves from other traditionally similar sized clubs and hopefully we'll become a permanent long term fixture in the PL or at the very least much better primed to come back very quickly.

Not forgetting that the U23s came third in the PL2 last season. They've even produced an actual ****ing Time Lord!! With this facility we could be nurturing and producing the KDBs of the future.

It's got nothing to do with us and it's not as though we're gonna become the barcalona of the midlands just because we've got some amazing training facilities. Here comes the party pooper, why are you stealing my title? ?
Raw Dykes Posted 12 October 2018 Posted 12 October 2018 This is fantastic news. It's great to see the club growing. This and the planned stadium expansion will really boost the club above the bracket of similar-sized clubs we currently sit in. Happy that we're really taking advantage of our current status. As others have pointed out, it means, among other things, we'll be in a stronger position to bounce back the next time we're relegated. Aside from the obvious benefits a state of the art training ground bring, such as making the club more attractive to potential playing and coaching staff, is there also an argument to be made that there could also be very short-term, on the pitch benefits? I haven't read the whole thread, but I haven't seen anyone mention the possibility that the new facility could improve team performances as soon as it's built. I'm wondering if it might provide a small improvement by way of giving the players a bit more incentive to train harder than they already are, in a place they're happier to go to work. I don't know, but if it was me, I know I'd look forward to going to work more if the surroundings were nicer and the facilities were better, and I'd probably be a bit more productive. The difference it might make to each player's performance might be miniscule, but like Pearson said, if you can improve each player just a small amount, that adds up to a substantial amount across the team as a whole.

ian_marshall Posted 12 October 2018 Posted 12 October 2018 Do we know anything about what is planned inside the main training complex? Are we looking at altitude chamber's, Watt Bikes, hydrotherapy suite, cryo chamber's, footbonaut, etc?

But they ended up with quite a few bob in transfer fees that they've put back into recruitment and their development squad. (Take note of the recent Belgian corruption scandal)

Well... technically we got King from Chelsea academy but can take credit for the continued development I guess

Ecdysiast Posted 13 October 2018 Posted 13 October 2018 I'm thrilled with the turf academy inclusion too. Our pitch team is the best in the country - shame they can't showcase their skills fully anymore - it can be a real center of excellence in this area too.

There is going to be a clear marginal gain in air quality, for example. Regular heavy exercise in somewhat dirty air is bound to less beneficial than the clean, sunlit uplands of Seagrave. How far from the Motorway is it again?
