Unless you think SL should have stumped up a further £70m to match Leicester's training ground. Which incidentally is called "Leicester City Training Ground". At least Robins High Performance Centre or HPC has a bit of character and thought in the name. The club can be proud of the training facility they have built and can now use. We are building infrastructure in the training facilities and the stadium which matches our current position and short to medium ambitions. But apparently anything short of an 80,000 seater stadium and a £100m training complex is laughable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re still looking at being competitive in the Championship. Wouldn’t be proportional to have such investment in our training ground yet. That’s not to say we won’t get there one day.

Or do you think that once they stepped over the threshold they would magically have the ability of Pele after 1 training session? I see no irony in the name of of the training centre in relation to our league position, unless it was called the "top end championship teams training centre", but it isn't.

Until such time as we have a team performing to the best of their ability between 3pm and 5pm on a Saturday, I reserve the right to be unimpressed by fawning comments regarding our training ground on the OS.

pongo88 Posted August 13, 2021 Report Share Posted August 13, 2021 It's strange that a story about Leicester City's ground redevelopment has morphed into an opportunity to knock Ashton Gate / the new training centre and, by implication. Steve Lansdown. It's not SL's fault that Ashton Vale didn't happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long have we been there, and how long do you expect them to be there before having those facilities has an impact? I seem to remember the same thing was being said about the Academy after about 6 months, despite it being obvious that the change in processes would start to filter through from the youngest groups, the ones we are starting to see now 10/12 years later.

BS4 on Tour... Posted August 13, 2021 Report Share Posted August 13, 2021 In the last 20 years, Leicester City has won all of the four domestic competitions deemed the most prestigious - for anyone to compare anything we do with them is just laughable ... but we do have the manager who, it can be argued, laid the foundations for Leicester’s recent premier league title win - and I think our stadium and training ground both look fantastic ...

Supersonic Robin Posted August 13, 2021 Report Share Posted August 13, 2021 Obviously it's unrealistic for fans to expect us to have the same facilities as Leicester City, given they're so far ahead of us right now. In fairness though, when you take a step back, it's bloody depressing that a club like Leicester City is SO far ahead of us - another smaller city with a notably bigger football club. For the biggest club in one of England's biggest cities, our ability to absolutely avoid success is remarkable! That's where any frustration should lie IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite a long time, obviously. and that's why calling it that now when we are struggling and have performed poorly for almost the whole of last season just makes us look a little bit tin pot. If you like the name -fine, I don't.
