Didn't we lay a new pitch at the training ground ahead of last season? Regardless, it seems we're laying a new one now... please log in to view this image It doesn't look like we've knocked down the Little Chef building yet.

Hull City's £1.5m training ground facelift forces Tigers on their travels please log in to view this image Hull City will spend the majority of pre-season away from East Yorkshire as the club's Cottingham training ground continues its £1.5m facelift. Steve Bruce and his squad will head straight out to an extended warm-weather training camp in Portugal on July 6 to begin preparations for the Championship season, only returning to England in time to face local neighbours North Ferriby United on July 17.

With the investment in the training ground over the last 3 years, the money pumped into devolping Bishop Burton plus the sale of Ideal Standard. Surely we could of been at least half way to building a purpose built facility for the whole club??
Think if we'd stayed in the PL we would have been looking to do that. Where would you suggest? Do we still have the land over at Melton?
When new signings come and have meetings about joining City and they take one look at our training ground, they must think that they have made the big time, not
