I popped over the new training ground a couple of weeks back and thought it looked a bit below par. First time I’d seen it since early Feb time. I was hoping to see luscious green pitches…. So I was surprised to see it looked as though it had been abandoned.
I went over there again this morning, and it still looks ropey. I’m not much of a gardener, and know even less about the processes involved in cultivating a pitch fit for a professional football club, but I can’t imagine overgrown weeds and discoloured grass to be part of that? It also appears to be covered with what looks like a mixture of mud and sand.
I couldn’t get any closer than the fencing, but from the pictures you should be able to get an idea of what I mean. All in all, it looks - and feels - abandoned.
