Training Facilities ? Physio

[HenneysKnee]

If it hasn’t been sorted sure Cooper will take the chance to mention it on ITV……..

This saga seems never ending. Who makes the decisions on training requirements and location- Barrow AFC or the Manager?

Everything feels temporary.

Paul Hornby said in programme notes a month or so ago that Mark Hetherington was asked and agreed to come back and was heading up a project to reorganise the clubs training facilities. Cooper praised him for his work in last Fridays radio interview.

That was back in August when the Chairman announced that Mark H had sorted the gym at Total Fitness, Wilmslow (not Wythenshawe as in programme notes) and "long term hire of the pitches" at Mottram Hall, an arrangement, he said, was one with which Mark Cooper was "over the moon".

But, it should be said, we are not the only club at our level which has difficulty with establishing permanent training facilities. Saturday's visitors, Rochdale, are in a similar position, I think.

In his Rochdale preview interview Mark Cooper refers to what we have at AVRO as a 7-a-side pitch but he just sounded glad to be on grass.

Interesting comment on Rochdale and training. Yesterday with it being half term they opened the ground to fans - kids in particular - to witness a training session in full and afterwards get photographs/autographs with the players. A tremendous initiative aimed at capturing young supporters for the future. Perhaps something we could think about for the future.

About right for the number of fit players we have had so far this season...

Does anyone know if the training facility / issues have finally been finally sorted out. As in we now have a settled training base.

Jesus man, try focusing on something else.

Exactly Jonty, please don't ask questions of the club unless it's posted in the form of a love letter to the chairman.

Great article. His dad’s death certainly had a big impact on him and looking back at that time, you could see it had affected him. He also comes across as genuinely concerned that Barrow gets it right off the field. We should be under no illusions on how difficult it is to attract players to the Club without the correct infrastructure. Hope he stays and we give him every help we can. He is the man to take us forward. Let’s hope for a great result tomorrow at Barnsley and the money from that would be huge for us.
