It's been mentioned that windiness around the training pitches at Seagrave means it's hard to train set pieces.

 

Would explain a lot considering our awful run around the time we moved in.

Who said that, Arteta?

Albrighton when he was commentating one of our pre season matches.

It doesn't matter how good the training facilities are if some the players don't even have the basics 

 

It's like trying to prepare a gourmet meal

 

With tesco value , it wouldn't matter who the chef is .. its gonna taste shite

We have a massive indoor pitch

 

I know a lot of the people around the club are thick but SURELY they would think to just use that

You give them too much credit.

Will we be able to fund seagrave with more than a season out the top flight?

Not enough wind.

Mothballed I reckon

Great, so that explains being shit at corners, what's the excuse for the rest?

The hammocks are so comfy, none of the players will get out of them to train and we can't afford new whiteboard markers because of PSR.

There’s a full size indoor 3G pitch they could use with no wind so that doesn’t really work. It is always windy there though whenever I’ve been.

When Nigel was here we had some of the best tools in the business and just chucked them in a rusty old toolbox, but those tools built something special.

 

Then we bought a nice shiny new toolbox and proceeded to fill it with some Aldi middle isle special buy spanners.

 

Can have the fanciest training ground going, but we have lost all the good background staff that could best utilise it.

So we are blaming Jannik’s dog’s farts for our woeful set piece routines 😂 heard it all now

Seagrave is not the problem it’s the recruitment team getting players past their sell buy date and over paying them. 

[Nolucklcfc]

Don’t believe seagrave is the issue, it’s just the people using it. If players had the right attitude it would be an asset.

Yes, also the leadership. Imagine what Nige and crew could have done with the facility

They set the foundation for it to be built in the first place really with what they put in place to be successful.

You can attend a brand newly built 5 star hotel complex.

 

If the food is crap, the staff are rude and it smells like some microwaved fish in the staff room, then you aren’t going to have a great time.

Yes. We will be switching to wind-power, apparently.

When a team can't even take the lunch plates away and leave a mess, tells you how spoilt these ****ers really are.

 

These lot need a rocket up their arses.

 

I still maintain that they need to get jogging around bradgate park. 

 

Paying some of these close to 100k a week is abysmal.

Is that McAteer fee the first that Seagrave has really delivered? KDH broke out when we were still at Belvoir or not? Can't remember.

Can't attribute that to Seagrave. KM way too old to have been nurtured through the system at Seagrave and has always been thought of highly. He just got very lucky in that we'd dropped down a division, with a squad that was extremely strong for this level but lacked wide options so got his chance (which he took brilliantly).

 

Even Monga is difficult to say he's a product of Seagrave as he's been with the club way before we moved there. It's going to be a good few years before we can really credit players coming through.

We've been at Seagrave about 1/3 of Monga's life. I think it's fair to say his age group is about the first Seagrave output

The lack of wind problem could easily be cured by adding more beans to the Chilli and have more vegetarian options in the canteen.

Isn't it too much wind being the problem? I think we'll be ok though, trust in Farti Cifuentes.
