Depends on what you mean by upgrade. Full refurb will take 3 years I think Mehrdad said, but obviously somethings can be put in immediately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Yeah think just first stage done so quickly, sure i read that somewhere. What is the timeframe for the new training ground though? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will also become some kind of footy hub for grassroots football, licenced out to kids’ teams and for tournaments etc. which they have kind of half arsed done under Ashley in the past! Could well be correct The Women are going to be using the training ground this season for their training sessions Tuesday / Thursday With an additional day added in.(Wednesday or Friday) They used to use the 4g facilities at ‘coach lane’ in Benton (for training) They are still using coach lane for their July friendlies They are moving home pitch / ground from Druid park …..100% rumour has it- new stadium / home venue is Kingston park As we are spending so much money on the training ground at Benton , it would make sense to transfer it to the woman’s team plus youth , (that’s if they can’t fit them in at the brand new complex in 3-5 years time) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just lacks the right amenities professional athletes need on an hourly basis never mind daily. The training ground hosts many tournaments for kids’ football too and they make a little bit of money from that and get a birds eye view of any emerging talent scouting wise. I can see them keeping it in their portfolio of ‘assets’ and I’m sure future sponsorship of the training ground will more than pay for any development work… Edited June 29, 2022 by HTT II Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest HTT II Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 (edited) Mention cancer or charadee and it almost forces people to reply, if I had cancer the last thing I’d be on is fucking Twitter tagging the shit out of people for sympathy, I’d be banging some hot prostitute or sparked out after sinking a 1ltr bottle of some fine whiskey. Or spending every second I can with my wife and kids and family and friends. I just find our whole social media fanbase fucking wrong ‘uns and attention seeking twats. I’m sympathetic to anyone with a serious illness, but it reeks of faux sympathy and attention seeking. Fair enough if you’re trying to raise attention to a certain illness or even funds for treatment, but spare a thought… nah!

Guest HTT II Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 It’s probably my pet hate today and maybe I’m becoming a grumpy old bastard, but I despise our fanbase at times when it comes to social media, from Wraith and his cronies to that dentist cunt and Adam Pearson and the seemingly whole obsession our country has with celebs and creating nothing stories for nothing in peoples faces 24/7. Like that media whore who practically turned her husband’s covid and long covid battle into a soap opera, we get it, look after your husband instead of making him into some poor bastard with an illness tragic figure for faux sympathy and milking it. It’s narcissism at its worst. If they weren’t on social media they’d be serial killers or animal abusers or wife beaters or sex pests.

Mind I never used to like the True Geordie, but we did some work for him once when he was going through a difficult time and he was the nicest person ever and he’s done really well for himself and now I like his stuff even when it’s not NUFC or footy related, I just think young Adam lacks the intellect and vocabulary and trolls are cunts, he’s always going to get that, but then he will troll himself and use that. I think I’ll just stay away from fan related social media stuff myself! The younger me would be like ah salute and this shit shouldn’t really bother me, but again, I’m getting an old cunt these days and it doesn’t help that I’m so pissed off with the world in general or rather what’s happening in the world today so most stuff grates one me. Doesn’t help we’ve had over a decade of Ashley either where the world could crash and burn in that time for all I care/cared… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

From his shite ‘Number 9’ fanzine, his Tory politics, his desperate desire to knock about with gangsters and hooligans (and have some of that sense of ‘danger’ rub off on him), to his social media ITK ‘I helped sell the club to PIF’ chest-puffing horseshit. It’s all a grift to that cunt. He’s the man the Mackems all want us to be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
