New training ground: club to spend initial £250k (rumour)
I thought this deserved it's own thread.
On the WST Elections thread paddockgraham stated: "it was announced some time ago we were spending around £850000 on a new training ground, initial investment of £250000". This one has definitely passed me by; does anyone on here have any further information on this? |
Re: New training ground: club to spend initial £250k
Yes its true money will be invested in anything other than the team
|
Re: New training ground: club to spend initial £250k
Surely we could buy back Colliers for that figure!?
|
Re: New training ground: club to spend initial £250k
Ffs
Colliers? That's why we've got a pile of shiite of a team. |
Re: New training ground: club to spend initial £250k
Don't recall any figure being officially announced? Is the 850k based on anything concrete? There was a thread at the time with hugely wide ranging guesses as to how much it would cost and what would be built.

Buying back Colliers and getting it back up to scratch I imagine would cost over a million. |
Re: New training ground: club to spend initial £250k
What's needed here is for paddockgraham to tell us where he's got those figures from, as he seems to be the only person who knows about this.

Re: New training ground: club to spend initial £250k
People moan that we have a crap training ground, club invests in new facilities, we're wasting money. Seriously can't win sometimes.

Wasnt £850k a number associated with Colliers years ago? Maybe he is reliving our long ago past still. :) |
Re: New training ground: club to spend initial £250k
could we buy the ~spiritual home~ back??

So this is definitely happening ? Have you seen the plans? Is it joint funding?.Has it been discussed at a trust meeting? Etc etc |
Re: New training ground: club to spend initial £250k
New training ground and football strategy same day.
Is it a full moon tonite :) |

Re: New training ground: club to spend initial £250k
Really must get that leak fixed, I believe they may've been given away too.
Whoops. |

Added word 'rumour' to title - am sure sources will be put up to back it up

Re: New training ground: club to spend initial £250k (rumour)
£850k won't get us far.....
I hope the club aren't basing their anticipated expenditure on a suitable training ground on that number when taking into account build costs, design team fees, utility connections, contingency etc... Colliers cost that, 22 years ago! DOUBLE IT, EASILY. |

Re: New training ground: club to spend initial £250k (rumour)
Has the council given permission for anything to happen with the Groves site yet? I know there the option to use it for educational purposes but with it having listed status is they something that might come to bite us in the arse a few years down the line?

Surely that will depend on whether we LEARN to play football. |
Re: New training ground: club to spend initial £250k (rumour)
Erm those people talking about Colliers, have you been past there lately?
Wakey wakey. It is now a state of the art training facility for the FAW. |

Re: New training ground: club to spend initial £250k (rumour)
Glyndwr Uni are hoping to build houses on the playing field in Dean Road. The Council own part of the land and it has been said WCBC could give this land to the Uni for free.
Could it be, that the Uni in exchange, give the back of the kop land to WCBC for free in exchange.? This is just a thought, NOT FACT. We will have to watch this space. |

FAW have just splashed out £5 million on Colliers. |
Re: New training ground: club to spend initial £250k (rumour)
Is this new training ground the Groves site?

That's the supposed location, in theory. |
Re: New training ground: club to spend initial £250k (rumour)
Anyone found a source yet, as if it 'was announced some time ago' someone must know where or when ?
I think it is rubbish :D |

The rumour came from the village idiot, not sure why anyone is paying it any attention.

spot on comment, said person has not responded as yet. I can only assume that this thread is, as usual, a load of bollocks started for the purpose of mischief |

Mischief managed.
Maybe shows the perils of believing the spin :) |

80% of rp content is managed spin to mask the managed decline.

Re: New training ground: club to spend initial £250k (rumour)
We do seem to have our priorities around the wrong way. People want to watch a football team being successful, not tell their mates how great our training ground is in nat league north....I do despair. I think next season is huge one for Wrexham, a repeat of this year and fans will start to do other things on a Saturday.
