promised land Posted 7 February 2020 Share Posted 7 February 2020 On 03/02/2020 at 09:53, Fox in the North said: According to the method statement, we’re in the final phase of construction. Just under 5 months to go now! As the crow flies I’m less than a mile away, last night driving back into the village along Ratcliffe Road I looked over and saw it lit up, the main building looks huge with the curved roof. Either they’re working late into the night or it’s lit up for security reasons. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StanSP Posted 8 February 2020 Share Posted 8 February 2020 It's actually the newts are afraid of the dark so as a goodwill gesture they're keeping the lights on before they go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn’t take much, I read in a local free mag thing the other month that they can now see it from the village blotting the landscape. Even had a pic of it. It’s like the folk of seagrave think they own all surrounding fields. Best thing to ever happen to the village. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post urban.spaceman Posted 10 February 2020 Popular Post Share Posted 10 February 2020 So I guess this is as good a thread as anywhere to put it: https://theathletic.com/1391288/2020/02/10/the-next-big-thing-virtual-reality-football-ibm-leicester/ I won't post the whole thing as I don't want to get me or FoxesTalk in trouble, but the general gist of Tanner's article is that we're considering implementing new analytical technology into the training ground, which is shown off here: It's still in the development stage but there's been interest from some Premier League clubs. Extremely important excerpt: “What surprised me when I started looking into elite sports a few years ago was how few teams in the Premier League have analysts. I don’t mean someone just watching games. They aren’t data scientists crunching numbers like this. There are just three clubs doing it properly that I am aware of: Liverpool, Manchester City and Leicester. It is no coincidence they are the top three in the Premier League." The article rounds off with quotes from Paul Balsam's chat on the Training Ground Guru podcast, which can be found here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/8-paul-balsom-to-premier-league-beyond-leicester-city/id1458881321?i=1000455600782 We're on our way. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southampton do it or at least they used to. They have some called the black box at their training ground where they constantly watch matches - might be more for scouting though.

moore_94 Posted 10 February 2020 Share Posted 10 February 2020 (edited) From looking at his LinkedIn it looks like he is actually the Director of a sport performance company and is involved in a lot of other sports Could be that we have him on as a high level consultant with major input kind of role where he puts all the framework etc into place but we don’t get in the way of his personal ventures, could be why the top teams haven’t gone after him Edited 10 February 2020 by moore_94 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
