I think it's quite obvious that improving the academy and training facilities was put before improving the playing squad because that way the club would be more attractive to potential investors. |
I think that is actually very unfair. If and when the relegation russian roulette has our number, we are in a better place than pouring the money into agents. newcastle spent 80 million. And we have been solidly mid table that time. I believe that our team is till solidly mid table in capability if people get their act together. |  |

And how long do you think the club would be able to find the maintenance and running costs of two facilities if we got relegated...not very long I can assure you,academies the biggest myth in modern football. | | | |

Not just about academy status though. It's about proper facilities for the first team and youth setups. An actual legacy from our time at the top table that isn't a massive level of debt is surely a good thing? |  |

Like I said earlier,how long do you think we could fund both those facilities if we got relegated. | | | |

Facilities <> Academy status. You can downsize the operation whilst still making use of the facilities. | |

You can't downsize the maintenance costs which are huge I can assure you,hopefully relegation is a long way away but if it was to happen then bye bye one of those "legacy"luxuries. | | | |

I'm well aware of the costs, as it goes. And a lot of the costs of the Cat 1 setups are nothing to do with maintenance. It doesn't come close to £2.5m a year to maintain Landore.
I have little doubt that Cat 1 status is dependent on us staying in this league. However either way, our first team will have excellent facilities at Fairwood, and the youth setups at Landore. Unless we're in massive trouble after any relegation, there's no reason why we couldn't run both facilities. The big expenditure has already been done. | |

You do realise what you've just said do you,I'm really worried that there are people involved with the Trust who believe running costs of around 2.5 million for one facility is sustainable in the long term....incredible | | | |

Aye, you clearly don't realise what I actually wrote.
Cat1 annual expense is around £2.5m as I recall. It's sustainable now, it probably isn't if we drop down a division, at least not in the long term. However, for the umpteenth time, Cat1 expenditure is very different to maintenance of the facilities, which would be a fraction of that, and was the point you were making. | |

Well you obviously have no idea how much it's going to cost to maintain either facility going forwards,whatever it costs at the moment it is no indicator of the future cost,remember everything from the playing surfaces the machinery and the buildings are brand spanking new at the moment and require minimum expenditure.
Go and speak to a local Rugby,Football or Cricket club and ask them how much it costs annually to maintain their playing surfaces alone,you may have a better idea after that. | | | |

Well, if you don't think current maintenance costs are a decent indicator of future maintenance costs then we're going to get nowhere here.
But anyway, thanks for the education on such matters. | |

You seem quite excitable about this mate. Would you really rather we'd spunked say £80m on players and their agents and wages (not that it would be a fraction of that) and not have these other assets? | |

You're welcome.
My last word.
When you buy a brand new car it costs very little to maintain during the first few years,five years on and it's a different matter. | | | |
