I noticed in media last week that the club are interested in basing the Youth Learning and training at Bishop Burton College. I am surprised it has taken the club this long to realise how enormous the site is and the fantastic facilities there. I visited an event there last summer and my eyes were opened as to the scale of the place. I hope this arrangement comes off. Also, maybe City should see if it is possible to purchase some of the better drained higher ground agricultural land in the area and explore getting permission for a first team training facility that is less prone to flooding. That area north west of Beverley is only 20-25 minutes from M62 Howden junction by road via Holme uponSpalding Moor A614 whilst still being local as it is only just over 10 minutes from the City's northern A1079 BOUNDARY.
I believe Bishop Burton is already a done deal. It's a bit bizarre that our kids will have better training facilities than our first team.
