I really don't think that had we a state of the art facility that we would now be sat comfortably in mid table.
    would be nice to have a training ground we could use all the time. Friday Rotherham couldn’t use it , had to train on the pitch at nys . Four promotions in spite of the training facilities not because of it .

Might not go down well with the fans but if this was explained to them they might be patient to a degree.
    Any good academy player will be long gone before we would get a fee

    No you are not, but where could it be built? And I once went in that gym and it was not even 25% of a pitch!!! 🙄
