    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.
