StanSP Posted 3 April 2019 Posted 3 April 2019 Always wanted to see a tractor dig up dirt in slow-motion
LestaAl Posted 3 April 2019 Posted 3 April 2019 It would be great to see a similar presentation in 5 months time when there will be further progress. I wonder if they will be arranging a tour in due course when its all done a dusted next year.

Wymsey Posted 3 April 2019 Posted 3 April 2019 Environmental campaigners will be livid at the current state of it..
RoboFox Posted 3 April 2019 Posted 3 April 2019 Good to see they've already completed the hydrotherapy pool.

StriderHiryu Posted 3 April 2019 Posted 3 April 2019 It might be very early but I for one am extremely excited by this development! I am really digging what the club are doing at the moment. Setting out the vision, giving us updates, Brendan Rodgers doing a Q&A with fans, etc. I feel like they have listened to the fans frustration in not knowing what's going on and wanting to be closer to the club and that slowly but surely improvements are being made in this department. Let's just call it the Youri Tielemans training centre so he's forced to sign! (Obviously name it after Vichai)

dyanmark Posted 3 April 2019 Posted 3 April 2019 Predictably-sorry gents- I am very sad to see the golf course destroyed.It took an awful lot to build it and gone in an instant. We win the champions league though and Ill do my best to forgive.

Think both companies will be relieved in terms of boosting its finances/popularity. The former had a break-in in its club shop last week.
st albans fox Posted 3 April 2019 Posted 3 April 2019 the difference that this will make to us as an attraction to possible signings is huge. one of the reasons that spurs get away with paying lower wages is the combination of being in London and having a state of the art training complex. your place of work does make a difference.
