Re: The manager
It would obviously be a great solution, but is it worth the gamble spending a lot of money on a facility only to find players weren't willing to come. I'm sure we'd attract some players, but would quality come that could cherry pick their club?PRR wrote: ↑Sat Aug 28, 2021 6:55 amIf we're serious about staying in the Football League I'd like to thank that's the medium to long term goal.

Re: The manager
Would good professional training facilities be more likely to attract players rather then the ephemeral ad hoc set up we now have? Giving players a sense of permanence and home?Big E wrote: ↑Sat Aug 28, 2021 7:36 amIt would obviously be a great solution, but is it worth the gamble spending a lot of money on a facility only to find players weren't willing to come.

Re: The manager
You have a prime facility in Vickers sports club ( Hawcoat Park) just waiting for some sort of investment or partnership like that, it's a win win for everybody.
Re: The manager
I thought Cooper had already mentioned this in a previous interview, something along the lines of “unless your willing to pay top dollar ( aka Championship level) to relocate the players and they’re families, we can’t permanently train locally”

Re: The manager
Jackpot hit the nail on the head combine this with statements that players have signed with us saying about MCR training base. Players leaving due to too much travelling. But everyone on here knows better. If you want to train local be prepare to pay double on salary it is not worth it.
Re: The manager
Couldn't agree more. About to make my third trip up to see the boys today in a two week period. It can be a knackering journey (particularly the night games) but I feel Barrow doing the right thing training in the Manchester/Cheshire area the world has moved on from the 1960's and 1970's when players were reasonably happy to stay in a club house in the Barrow area. People might not like that but that is the reality.Mancbluebird wrote: ↑Sat Aug 28, 2021 9:37 amJackpot hit the nail on the head combine this with statements that players have signed with us saying about MCR training base.

Lesson for the day. You will never win an argument on the internet. People will double down on their opinion. It could really go on forever.Mancbluebird wrote: ↑Sat Aug 28, 2021 9:37 amJackpot hit the nail on the head combine this with statements that players have signed with us saying about MCR training base.

I think we should move the training facilities here immediately and sack any player who won't move.

To use the wise words of the great orator himself if I may:
'Crap'
'Crap'
We will follow the soccer, over land and sea...
Re: The manager
I propose focusing hard on increasing the attendance before we consider relocation of players

Get the barrage built. That'll do it. Who wouldn't want to be seen speeding their Beamer across the golden sands?
