I think you must be mistaken, I'm sure the local residents said that it was impossible and that someone would die. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Unlikely) will that include the Pisstazzá Newt? I see very few benches to train the large majority of our playing staff to develop a good hard 90 minute arse.

thesilverfox Posted 23 November 2018 Share Posted 23 November 2018 I wonder why the club haven't so much as released the images that we've all seen, or announced that construction is underway?

I understand with the past few weeks, but before that? Looking at the construction plan they started work on the 5th; they were probably planning to announce something then but as you say it probably wasn’t the right time. I passed by there a couple of times to check if my scarf was still there and it was only a week ago that it had been moved and there was signs of people working. So they probably didn’t start on schedule out of respect. I imagine we’ll get a proper announcement with a photo shoot very early in the new year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WoodyFox Posted 23 November 2018 Share Posted 23 November 2018 Anyone know what the 22 pitches (of differing sizes) are going to be used for? Are local teams going to be able to use them or rent them out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Multitude of uses: Goalkeeper work Defence work Attack work ”Show pitch” for academy teams Some will be set up to mimic difference sizes and characteristics of upcoming opponents pitches Indoor pitch will be able to mimic weather conditions Newt rehabilitation pitch Loads of uses.

mancunianfox Posted 23 November 2018 Share Posted 23 November 2018 Plus if they regularly rotate which pitches are used the surface they are training on should always be top notch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dyanmark Posted 23 November 2018 Share Posted 23 November 2018 22 pitches are needed because they are expanding the academy to 800 youngsters to hope to find one or two good ones.Local teams will be able to use anything they like free of charge with sandwiches provided after . Kidding -the pitches will actually be used to grow grass which will be transferred to local golf courses as compensation for loss of golf facilities.

That's the beauty of it. They won't catch any newts but they will spend millions trying to do so. They did the same thing near my parents house in claybrooke and I'm told the few newts found weren't endangered anyway. Trenches lined with plastic was the tekkers they used.
