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.

I hope the newts are ok.

And the pair of nesting Buzzards.    I believe the Ferrets were donated to Burnley which was a nice gesture and the Frogs to Claude as a leaving present.

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! lol

(Obviously name it after Vichai)

I'd rather they call this Seagrave and name the new stand after Vichai, complete with a statue.

Statue in the stands could be epic and bold!

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. 

Some ex-members are said to have moved to Forest Hill Golf Club/Beedles Lake Golf Club. 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.

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.
