Does anyone know where we are training this season.?

The rumoured site is definitely up for sale. That would be a serious financial commitment if it's true looking at the guide price.

If the brothers were willing to pay that kind of price surely they would want and need a venue that has more than two pitches to enable all sides from the youth teams up to train on that venue without having to pay for use or lease of other pitches.

2.85m is a lot.. however, how much do you think it would cost to buy the amount of land required for your scenario? How much would it cost to implement pitches that are good enough in quality to train on? How much to build facilities such as a gym, maybe a restaurant, changing rooms etc… let alone the cost to maintain.
I saw it mentioned about 4G. Believe me that it’s not a cheap option to input a 4G pitch, and they do require regular maintenance which is also costly.
If the bros have the funds then ROKO could work. At least we’d have a home that is fit for purpose to train the first team. It would also be an income stream.

Forest's current training ground at Wilford only has 2 pitches and has served them well to get into the Premier League. Although they are looking at moving to a bigger place now.

Google maps shows Forest have 4 full size, a small pitch and what looks like an area being converted into pitches on their site, Mansfield have a full size 4G, and 4 full size grass pitches, I would expect something of that size is more required for a progressive football club.

It cost Forest 1.5m to build the building that has a gym, can**** and other facilities at their training ground… and that was back in 2011.

If Notts were to do what you want I’m gonna suggest it will cost north of 5/6m.

“From September, our first team’s training base will move to the university’s first-class sports facilities at David Ross Sports Village on University Park campus, providing our players with access to high-quality training pitches, plus state-of-the-art gym, recovery and diagnostic testing facilities.”

The problem with training facilities is they cost with no ROI so they become a drain on finances. Take a look at what Fleetwood Town FC decided to do in 2016, "search poolfoot farm" a dedicated training facility for the club, but open for use by the whole of the Fylde Coast bringing in a constant revenue stream. Only draw back its said to have cost £8 million which I dont believe and was a figure used by their owner to cover monies from his other business's which now finds him serving 15 years in prison for fraud !!!

Although it looks like the Uni meets all there requirements what a great facility ROKO could be. 2 pitches is enough (stagger teams) and the gym and pool could have a limited membership for Notts supporters.
