Someone I know reckons we've bought Blue Flames Sporting Club to extend the training ground.

Quite a parcel of land they’ll have gathered there, is it big enough for a state of the art facility though?

It's not a million miles away from Man City's current complex although they are building a new one for their Women's team I think

If it wasn’t for those new builds the whole land would be massive.

Northumberland FA also moving out of Whitley Park so looks like we've taken the lot! Public footpath goes right between the two sites however.

Last thing I was told was that they want the ministry site in Longbenton for the new development and the existing training ground will be properly redeveloped too further down the line. The suggestion was they wanted to do a more sprawling, less insulated version of the Etihad Campus but working in partnership with the colleges and teams that have stuff around that area.
 

Not sure what that would mean in practice. Possibly the club purchasing the land, maintaining it, allowing local teams to use it whenever the club don’t need it?

 

No idea the veracity of this info like, even if I trust the person who told me and they could conceivably know. Do with it what you like.

Would tie in with what I was told.

Not sure the ministry will become available. HMRC are moving into the city centre in 2027 but DWP aren't and they still have quite a presence in Benton Park View. No where near as many as HMRC mind.

DWP are getting moved. They just don’t know where yet.

Might be Waterview Park when we move out.

This was so cool and really well done I thought.

 

The players in question would have really enjoyed it and it's the sort of thing that makes the club feel bigger and like it is going places.

 

Some nice exposure for these players, and clever how they incorporated the city and club into things. Really nicely done.

With 777 seemingly falling apart, I wonder if PIF will eye a bargain or two and get the multi club ball rolling


Who do 777 own?

Standard Liege

Vasco de Gama

Genoa

Red Star

Melbourne Victory

Hertha Berlin

 

Not all are outright, 100% but I think they are majority owners in all
