The current proposal commits us to a project the WST Board says it does not have find a for.
The minimum pitch cost alone is said to be maybe £110k and that gets us nine acre mk2. We can't even train on nine acre all year, so why would we want to replicate it? Especially if we want more teams training on it.
So drainage then. Another £50k.
Payments due to the release of covenants? Maybe another £10k.
Legal fees?
Fencing required £50k
Services?
Temporary parking?
Business Rates?
We'll end up spending £200k on 2 grass pitches here.

Which training ground would we rent once we have to leave 9 Acres?
I also think having our own training ground, with pitches designed for us, is a priority. Almost every successful football club, in any league, invests in the same thing. Renting Stansty isn't going to give us what we need.
