Training Ground confirmed on 12:14 - Jul 6 with 4702 views | Blue_Castello | Excellent news once the offer of a training facility with freehold became available it was a no brainer. Interesting that there has been no advertising about the club wanting to raise funds for the purchase, can we assume that the owners have again used their own funds for the purchase. Good also to hear that they are already discussing with the Council about the upgrade of pitches and buildings.... | | | |

Training Ground confirmed on 12:21 - Jul 6 with 4643 views | WrightUp5hit___ | All the old social club facilities etc make the Concorde Club a bit higgeldy piggeldy. Sure our architects brief will be to get it up and running as soon as possible, but ongoing upgrades to bring it to state of the art, as quickly as planning allows. | | | |

Training Ground confirmed on 12:44 - Jul 6 with 4413 views | mcqpr10 | Well done to the club. That will not be a cheap purchase and after all the problems with Warren farm it's good to get this over the line. TF and co have made costly mistakes but recent ownership events shows that they might not be so bad! | | | |

Short term I'm sure they'll just make do but the plan is still to build a new training ground, so it'll be new build replacing what's there. Or at least that's the plan. | | | |

Is it a new training ground AND academy facilities? Will it raise our grade? | | | |

Training Ground confirmed on 13:01 - Jul 6 with 4248 views | BrianMcCarthy | I'd just like to take a moment to thank SWF for ensuring that we now have a freehold and sole ownership of our own training ground and academy. Without you, none of this would have been possible! | |

Abso bloody lutely without their interference we would have taken on Warren Farm, a far more costly site to develop that we would never own. Not sure if it's all down to Karma or should we just thank that malicious Brentford fan who was part of the SWF campaign..... | | | |

That is an interesting point. WF was going to be a Cat B academy otherwise they would have had to build dormitories etc. for Cat A status. As there is already an educational facility located nearby to the Heston site they may consider it worthwhile to build the dormitories as part of the refurbishment and go for Cat A status. That would mean it would be easier to attract players and we would get better recompense if any got nabbed by other teams. | |
