The Announcement: http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~2613018,00.html Pictures of the Plans: http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/Gallery/0,,10280~2613029,00.html DTLW
Looks incredible, love the new design for the u9-14, I can safely say with our record of producing players and the new facilities we will attract a lot of youngsters and the good thing is I doubt very many will end up leaving to join another team (unlesss they're not good enough)
The Press/Media room looks very good. It all looks bloody amazing,top dollar and state-of-the-art. I wonder if someone at the club has considered that when it opens they could make money from Summer tours of the training ground? I'm sure they have!
Just puts any possible doubts to rest about the long term stability of the clib. I know Cortese has said to fans at his various dinners that he's in it for the long haul anf hopefully this evidence will ease the minds of the cynics!
I am going to nickname you Eeyore. please log in to view this image "This character exists solely to bring everybody down, but not in the Deadpan Snarker sense; they are defined entirely by their complete inability to be happy for more than a few seconds at a time, an emotional state that usually arises from their only-occasionally-justified suspicion that they are the Butt Monkey of the entire universe. They are the walking Anthropomorphic Personification of clinical depression. However, the few moments that they are happy can be a Heartwarming Moment. Sometimes overlaps with Sour Supporter, but not often; they are generally too unhappy to be effective or active." From: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheEeyore
The day gets more enjoyable as it goes on, Saints announce the next stage of development at Staplewood. Pompey announce they can't afford to send their injured players away for a scan.
I know that they have been working on the boring but essential ground preparation, but great to see the building proper start. Great time to be a Saint..nothing short term about this plans.
