st george's park

due to be built soon i think:

"St George's Park will cost approximately £100million and between 2001 and January 2010 The FA had spent £25m on the project.[4] The centre will be sponsored by sports manufacturer Umbro[4] The 350-acre (1.4 km2) site was purchased by The FA for £2 million in 2001[5] following FA technical director Howard Wilkinson's preparations for the Centre."

the two hiltons and other facilities seem a bit excessive. i wonder what martin perry is planning to name the training ground as...

I used to drive past that site every day to go to work. It's in the middle of nowhere, Burton is probably 7 or 8 miles away. It's not really near anything else at all, other than a small airfield nearby, and they must be thinking all their Christmases have come at once.
