Training ground update

[perseus]

Hopefully the revisions will also address the concerns from the National Park - weren't they questioning the loss of a green gap between the rolling vistas of Lancing and the airport, and secondly the impact of floodlighting?

Something about floodlights:

Recent guidance has suggested that there should be a minimum of 65 m from the perimeter of the
pitch to the nearest residential building and not garden boundaries.

I think the actual distance is likely to be about 200 metres. I live further than that from Shoreham FC's ground and I find the lights intrusive. I need curtains.

Are there any plans for an indoor futsal court? Sounds like the Prem clubs are introducing it into their training programmes:

I'm sure some of you have seen this, but definitely worth a repeat view:

Barca have a futsal arena in the grounds of the Camp Nou where their futsal team are based.

Bayern Munich have a chess team.
