A training camp can be considered a quarantine??? cant see them going anywhere , especially given the overnight news, infact, the club might request that they don’t go abroad at all!

I am sure that our players will want to start the season in the best shape possible and seagrave being ready could be an advantage in them agreeing to come in with less than 21 days rest. if any of our clubs are in the european finals then there isn’t 21 days from them to the start of 20/21 ??? the PFA will not impose their agreements in this instance and leave it up to individual players. If clubs insist that players return less than 21 days then I can’t see any big ructions occurring .... I agree it’s exceptional circumstances and the Euros start next year so common sense should come into play but we are talking about the organisation that has refused to even consider any wage deferral for its members during the virus so I would imagine If it is less than 3 weeks break it will be down to individual players agreeing not as a collective agreement from the PFA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post TrentFox Posted 30 July 2020 Popular Post Share Posted 30 July 2020 I think, psychologically, it would be good if they never set foot in Belvoir Drive again. Closure on the past. I totally get all the positive noises coming out of the club - and in here - but there were only four teams worse than us after restart .... and three of them got relegated. This move is a great opportunity to draw a line under last season. Take the positives. Learn the lessons. Move on. Focus on next season. A brand new, shiny training complex might just be perfect for aiding that. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom12345 Posted 31 July 2020 Share Posted 31 July 2020 We better not rush it - with workers, delivery men, etc still coming and going, it may be risky to bring the players in. One COVID case - and the team may be shut out for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see us getting in there for the full pre-season, and for continuity we might have to train at Belvoir again for pre-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's lots of high tech sanitising equipment around now used in airports etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Leeds Fox Posted 31 July 2020 Share Posted 31 July 2020 The groundworks are always a lot quicker than expected. Now that we are having some good weather, they should motor along. I'm sure we will then have snagging items for a while, but that won't stop us using the facility. Looks incredible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks incredible One company I used to work for moved into a brand new building, it had 15000 items on the snagging list, contractors were on site for a year after it was handed over! Like you say the building will still open despite somethings not being finished 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judging by this the club seem confident of using it for preseason, so I doubt fixing the junction is critical before they can use it. That'll follow shortly after, I imagine. https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/brief-pause--leicester-city-4380934 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SemperEadem Posted 31 July 2020 Share Posted 31 July 2020 1 hour ago, pmcla26 said: This is what I hope separates us from the rest of the clubs outside the ‘top 6’. A state of the art facility like our new training ground is exclusive to few teams in Europe. If we can use it to improve the pull of the academy as well we could be a very self sufficient club and not have to pay massive transfers to compete. Is this really the case? It’s visually impressive no doubt. But is it really like up there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The unfortunate and ridiculous situation to this is that the changes don't sort out the killer junction, they just make it more accessible for coaches and acceptable to a larger volume of traffic. An absolute opportunity missed to improve or close off the junction as part of the planning permission. Edited 31 July 2020 by FoyleFox 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
