That is the seating figure I was told hence I called it a stadium albeit a mini stand.and It could well resemble the lego stand we had at The Goldstone.in the NW Corner not saying it will just a suggestion.

Similar build to Salford City but a bit smaller, enclosed, 4 sided stadium.

It would be good if they could also expand the capacity for watching U18, U21 and U23 matches - and make it seem more welcoming for casual/occasional fans to just turn up to watch (yes, and just POTG without having to be STHs, or members of this that or the other loyalty points scheme, with all their details, from bank details to inside leg measurement all safely logged on PB's computer) - sometimes it feels as if the club don't really want people watching the youth teams.

You cant be too careful though as you may have Bielsa or similar turning up for a peek !

When it’s finished, they should run the occasional tour of it all, say on a weekend day when essentially empty. Would be great to look around the complex.

There are academy matches every weekend and first team do recovery days the day after their matches. So tomorrow at least 2 of the youth teams will be playing there (with their and the opposition parents) and the first team will be doing their recovery stuff too. Probably only time is essentially empty is first 2 weeks after the season ends.
 


When I left school I cleaned the showers and changing area at a women's sports club.Twenty quid a day. Not a lot, but I couldn't afford to pay any more.
The old jokes are the best :). Is the prospect of an IKEA happening nearby reality or an urban myth?

Reality as far as I am aware and looking forward to it happening, good for our local economy

surly a bigger seating area for the under23 and ladies games so we don't keep playing our games at Crawley would be a better option

The thing with this is that they already struggle with parking for u18, u23 and Women's matches at Lancing. It would seem the club may be looking at the land betwen New Salts and Old Salts Roads south of the railway line. I think there is road access via underpass there.

I believe, in the rules for Premier League 2, no more than 3 matches per season may be played at the club's training ground/academy.

Agreed. It's easy to spend someone else's money but a small stadium with space for a 2-4k fans for reserve, youth and women's fist team

I can't say for certain but I'd be up for attending the women's fisting team. I'd even go so far as to say I'd happily pay, I wouldn't expect it to be included in the ST price.

Actually, I can say it's a certainty.

When does a ‘stadium at the training ground’ cease to be considered ‘training ground’ and become a ‘stadium’?

Man City’s academy stadium is considered acceptable, obviously.

(It’s not AT their training ground, though)

I presume if tickets are freely available for anyone then it's OK. I'm guessing that restricted access to training ground is reason for the rule in the first place
