New Training Ground.!!

We absolutely should focus on a better training ground as a higher priority than improving BP.  They’re obviously focussing to some degree on both, but for the:
“Do nice scotch eggs get you 3 points on a Saturday?” Brigade, better training facilities absolutely do improve your chances of a better points tally.  It makes us more attractive to prospective players and helps us get more out of the players we have.

I’d love to see an improved view in the Main stand, but it’ll take time & the impact will probably only be more moaning as the Main Stand will be able to see what’s actually happening!

Has there been any update on the new training ground at Immingham seems to have gone very quiet.

Yeah a bit like you over the last month. Not had anything to say apart from predicting us to lose since the win against FGR, but managing about 5 posts a day since Saturday afternoon.

Funny that.

not forgetting the increased income streams from renting out pitches, facilities etc.

I think a new training ground is a must if we want better quality players. Cheapside is past its best and is exactly what the name is, CHEAP.

If a potential new play asked where do I change whats the dressing room is like, converted portacabin, where do I shower, converted portacabin, where is the gym, converted portacabin etc, etc.

Converted portacabins have there use but not any more at CHEAPside.

The £6 million figure has come about mainly because of building materials going up, if we want top class players then that's what we have to pay.

Having a professional level training centre will only encourage the better local young prospects to join town and attract kids who are released from higher grade academies.
My son has been invited down to a few training sessions at Brighton’s centre which is just on another level . We were both walking in with our eyes like this 😳😳 . If town could have have something 25% on that level it would be incredible for the club and have financial benefits down the line .

Quoted from JK47

I don't get the need to pay £6m for a training ground, even with a large building to train inside when the weather is bad.

We don’t have 6 million hence the need to build20 houses to fund it

The improvement of BP and a new training ground can co-exist together , and it's vital both happen imo .

It's whether they can raise the investment for either or both , I hope they can but it's just wait and see isn't it ; the one positive (in a way ) from Dear John was that regarding Town I never get too excited about any plans after all of his (empty) promises - I will get excited if  the golden spade  breaks ground .

Wasn't the 6 million figure bandied about when it was going to be somewhere in the centre of town? Maybe the ming ming solution is much cheaper?

If a better training facility translates into better quality and results on the pitch throughout the age groups and first team then perhaps this will aid receiving outside investment for a new ground or redevelopment of BP and the club as a whole in the community. Whatever the aim , it won’t be overnight but long term will benefit gtfc . As long as we can stay in the league.
