Training ground

Don't the Academy use the floodlit all weather pitches at The Paddocks Canford. Wimborne Town's new facility, Slades Farm and Brockenhurst College?
The 3G at Canford is now being turned into an industrial estate, sounds like we blew our chances at Wimborne, dont know if we approached Slades and yes Brockenhurst College has been mentioned but its rubber hockey pitch so not exactly ideal and most parents say its too far to go for three nights a week.
 
Are you sure about the top of the Paddocks at Knighton. The Industrial Units have always been earmarked for the other side of the road.
 
It will take a while to get contractors on site - especially as a good proportion of the work is specialised. As the plans have changed new specs and pricing will also need to be factored in. I’d be pleased just to see the crappy old fence removed and a proper one put in its place for now. That’s easy to quantify, not especially complicated and prices will be pretty standard - plus it would make the site secure and look a bit tidier. I’d expect the heras fence to fetch a few quid to offset some of the costs - if owned - or save on hire costs (which are quite high - as those who’ve ever rented some will attest.

This is good news that something is happening but im still feeling cynical…. a new 3G pitch and a indoor one. Aspirational stuff.

:sorry:
I want the finest facilities known to humanity, I want them here and I want them now!
 
There ain't gonna be no new Trainin' Ground this side of next Pancake Day...t' aint appnin' Popeye !

- even though we been a PL and Championship club for nearly 10 years !

And nobody knows bugger all .....not even the mouse that sleeps under the radiator in Wimborne Minster.
The nonsense speculation gets worse every season innit..

Pancake day is 9 months away, not sure what kind of training facilities you were hoping for.
