Good on two counts, something actually being done,and also someone had the foresight to put it in the public domain with evidence of something being done,can’t say I saw anything being done last summer..makes you wonder what did or didn’t get done..!…at least they are trying to change the mood music,but only a bit part of matters to be addressed.

Well that’s positive and a quick reaction to the bad press we’ve had recently.
Yes it never should have got to this but at least it’s being given top priority

Just to say again that Rob Scott was in the Netherlands last weekend networking and looking at many potential recruits 👍

We just need the home dugout moved now and we’re back on track for a successful season.
Oh and Chantry beers in the pumps ✔️

So we've got a pitch with drainage.

The gym, the physios room, the on site changing room etc. All need doing too.

I go past Middlesbroughs training ground at croft spa quite a bit. They have three full size pitches one of which appears to be astro. Then a large indoor facility with a gym and smaller indoor pitch etc.


I'm not saying we should mirror them, just pointing out what most have at this level.

Investment needs to be at Bawtry Road not Roundwood

Roundwood still needs investment though. Even if tomorrow they announced a new training ground at Bawtry Road it could take years to build. Roundwood has to be made as good as it can be in the meantime.

Maybe

But promotion to the Championship has been achieved with the facilities as they are now.

Long term investment needs to be at Bawtry Road and investment at Roundwood needs to be “ as well as” not “ instead of”

Masbroughstreet, Believe it or not, Sheff Utd are in the exact same position as us and they are a Premiership club. When I say the same, I mean they have recently bought new land to have a brand new purpose built training facility. This will incorporate outdoor and indoor pitches. State of the art modern facilities to deal with the modern day footballers through either injury or rehabilitation etc.

Although the finer details of the deal have still to be finalised, the club say it will take betwee two to possibly three years before it is fully up to standard to use.

Going back to Roundwood, for now that is the cheaper option for Tony Stewart and if rumours are true about him retiring as chairman after next year, would you pour millions into Bawtry Road? I certainly wouldn't. Many millers fans keep banging the drum about Bawtry Road, unless Richard Stewart is looking to stay on as future Chairman, then it will never get off the ground.

NB. Bawtry Road rumoured to have been bought for £1 million. What's it worth now when you consider how long ago it was purchased and the price being asked for house building on at today's prices? That's why Tony is a multi millionaire and we are not.
