[Albion] Training complex - expansion plans submitted

[bluenitsuj]

The three extra pitches, will they form part of the Ikea car park?
Taking it further, the Ikea cafe could be catering.

Meatball heaven

They aren’t building a stadium though are they.

No, changing rooms, another pitch and pitchside seating, which is what I was told in October but dont ask me by who as I will not breach a confidence.

Gary Mabbutt?

Gary Mabbutt?

Yeah, in the queue for a half time Bovril.

Flashy new complex and still playing championship players in the first team

On the 11th December you thought Preston Park was good enough for the women.

I wasn’t going to!

Are they going to build extra tall walls to stop Leeds spying on us next season?

Bloom out, chancer in.

When I saw the thread title I thought it was going to be about an extension that will specialise in teaching players how to hold onto possession and not sit back once we have taken the lead.
We need one of those.

 

[seagullsslimjim]

expansion to the south east of the current area ?

Someone had better tell Southern Rail !

Bensgrandad is right for once, I'll say no more.

Be nice to have a 2/3k mini stadium for the dev and women squads.

Could be some good jobs available soon.

When I left school I cleaned the showers and changing area at a women's sports club.Twenty quid a day. Not a lot, but I couldn't afford to pay any more.

It would be good if they could also expand the capacity for watching U18, U21 and U23 matches - and make it seem more welcoming for casual/occasional fans to just turn up to watch (yes, and just POTG without having to be STHs, or members of this that or the other loyalty points scheme, with all their details, from bank details to inside leg measurement all safely logged on PB's computer) - sometimes it feels as if the club don't really want people watching the youth teams.

Agreed. It's easy to spend someone else's money but a small stadium with space for a 2-4k fans for reserve, youth and women's fist team would be awesome. Would also give those who are priced out of first team matches a chance to follow the Albion in some capacity.

The stadium Man city have built at their training complex is absolutely fantastic but obviously built at considerable expense, a neat stadium comprising of 4 Withdean North stands could probably be achieved relatively cheaply.

‘Becoming established in the Women’s Super League’? Does second from bottom count as ‘established’?

Third from bottom, or 9th

Taking the lead... I THINK I remember that?

Easter Monday 2017, opponents Wigan.

 

[worthingseagull123]

The local nimby brigade have been all over this one already, the existing training ground hasn't caused total gridlock and people drowning in their beds through flooding as predicted so this is bound to?

No but if there is space, it would be better to build low cost housing than bloody hot tubs for overpaid footballers

Third from bottom. Or 9th in the country. Let's not be too dismissive at a team performing at an exceptionally high level
