Quoted from mimma

I would suggest that their recruitment is more to do with money they offer rather than where their training facilities are.

Indeed. Players by and large will go where the money is up and down the league's. Providing for the family will come first over any loose allegiances to clubs. Think of it another way if your and up coming talent with bags of potential and a championship club offers you £ 450 ,000 for 4 years as opposed to Grimsby who can only offer £ 50,000 it's no argument where you'll  end up. Footballers careers are often relatively short and they need to do what's best for themselves and their children.


One life,one love .

Maybe even a facility on the land that MyEnergy have just built their nice new office/factory on? Just off the 180 at Stallingborough

I think we should build a training ground in Great Coates. Right on the site where the magnificent Conoco Stadium would’ve sat. For no other reason than it would be urine funny.

Great crested I believe. Quite rare insofar as the entire British breeding colony are situated just off the busy A180 at Great Coates.

Rehouse them on Humberston Avenue. There seems to be a large piece of land that can't sell.

Isn't the point of having it within the community that it can be accessed by those in the community that don't have private transport?

Our best players of the future might be boys who's family don't have a car. Heart of the Town, grow your own.

Almost irrelevant because under the rules anybody who shows real promise at a young age can be picked up as a teenager for virtually nothing by a category 1 academy. They wouldn't stay at our club anyway and we'd have virtually no benefit.

I still don't understand why we got quite a bit for the youth player who went to Leicester.

Why not go one further and relocate the club to a far flung place more appealing to players, Manchester, London or even Ibiza.
