Speculation New training ground in the pipeline

[pork pie fox]

Feck me

Someone give me back those twelve seconds i've just lost by reading this fascinating update.

I demand them back now - i could have used them for a good wank on the top deck of the bus at the park and ride

Now, now. You just go back to dreaming about Grealish and everything will be fine again

It’s not. But it was interesting

Coke and strippers?

Let’s just say it involves a hardware store and some shiny new red lettering on the shirt.....

Office Depot?

 

[spenno]

It was. It wasn’t just the training ground they mentioned, either.

Guessing you’re referring to the plans for the area surrounding the stadium? New buildings, facilities, fan zones etc.

Not too shabby, is it?

 

[pork pie fox]

Wow indeed.

I suspect those pictures are as close as we'll ever get to seeing it

No riff raff allowed within half a mile of it, I reckon

 

[Graz]

That looks incredible doesn't it?

I love these owners - building this is a serious sign of commitment and some serious business.

I saw on Twitter yesterday (can't remember from who unfortunately) that the pictures of the training ground were to due to be released and would be soon followed by an official announcement of the stadium being increased to a 40,000 capacity - so let's see if that comes out soon.

I think most of us will be OK, some certain others I'm not too sure...………………….

 

[Mike - True Blue Tinter]

Wow, Wow, and thrice Wow!

Now if they can just put that level of design into the stadium extension, it will elevate us above a crisp bowl!

 

[H T B]

If they're spending tbat sort of dosh on tbe training ground, would they really just add on to the current stadium.
I'd like to think they have big plans for the KP.

 

[Mike - True Blue Tinter]

Can they do a Spurs?

Do they have enough land alongside to build a bigger stadium, without us having to play one season of home matches at Wembley?!

Gone are the days of biking down to Belvoir Drive to watch them train, get a few autographs etc. - remember watching Dave Webb running around a whole training session in some sort of big plastic bag, because he was such a fat bastard and they wanted him to sweat off all his excess blubber

Modern football is shit

Gone are the days you would do that also, I hope.

Or wistfully watching, through the car window, kids playing 20 a side on the old cinder car park at filbert street while yer dad queued all day for cup final tickets in 1961.

When we have been relegated back into league one, that place is going to look ridiculous.

Also, will Martin Allen change the colour of the flowers?
