goose2010 Posted 7 August 2020 Share Posted 7 August 2020 To be honest does it really matter? It's not like they are going to have to train down the local leisure centre is it?! It was obviously going to be tough to complete but if it means moving in after Christmas I'm sure they will cope with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same rules. It will have been almost two years since they started this development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, players turn up in their training kit and they are expected to either leave in what they were wearing or get changed into a spare set outdoors. Same as we being told for grass roots stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox in the North Posted 7 August 2020 Author Share Posted 7 August 2020 Would much rather they take their time and complete it properly rather than rushing to meet a deadline and have 100s of snags. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes no difference to me other than the effect it could have on the team if they move mid-season. We know that it doesn't take much to upset the apple cart.

davieG Posted 8 August 2020 Share Posted 8 August 2020 It's the people that make a cohesive and productive training set up. I'm sure they'll have a great time moving in whenever it happens. I worked for company that employed over a 1000 people in a building that was built in the late 1800s we moved to a brand new building lock stock and barrel and I think I can say most people enjoyed it the camaraderie was A1 and production did not waver at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The effect could well be a positive one, though. It might be the case that the team gets a boost from the move, despite it being mid-season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozartfox Posted 8 August 2020 Share Posted 8 August 2020 Does any one know what is going to happen to Belvoir Drive post move? Do we own the land? If so, can it be sold for development (Housing?). Just interested if it has been effectively used as security for part purchase of the new facility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UniFox21 Posted 8 August 2020 Share Posted 8 August 2020 If this training ground is as good as suggested, it'll be a huge pull for the talented young players we're looking at. State of the art facilities, accommodation on site if needed and a continuously growing project. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
