Seagrave

[blackthorn8]

Who would ever have thought a Modern train ing establishment with all the facilities needed would be a bone of contention,
but it isn't the facilities that's at fault it the methods of training the coaching staff and management employ, the emphasis on stamina and physical needs, seems to have been bypassed.

We pull Seagrave apart only in jest, we have no hard facts of what goes on there, it's all guess work.

Not all guess work Micky if you know an under 21 player

It’s a faackin joke but that’s down to BR and his training methods (or lack of them) !

Fair enough, I should have said I have no hard facts

There’s a new model project for you Micky! Swimming pool, fancy roof design, golf course, treatment tables, car park full of Lambourginis. You might need a bit of space though!

 

[Lozfox1978]

Far too much emphasis on leisure and hotel facilities. Made them
pampered little puppies rather than athletes.

 

[Since1972]

it will be moth balled to hope of running that when overheads are cut, the biggest white elephant ever

 

[essingtonblue]

Your hardly need to be a rocket scientist to know they are no where near fit enough

 

[JohnMitten]

Apparently it is souless, a bit like an airport, that's why a lot of staff refer to it as Terminal 3.
Sell it to the trees, but don't take a Gregory.

 

[Pen4]

Seagrave is not and has never been the issue.

The staff might or might not refer to it as Terminal 3 but then they might look back with envy when they get the sack.

Hopefully Rudkin is the first to go - preferably when Top sells up and new owners come in.

Jock only needed sand and Bradgate Park.

Unfortunately a breed apart

Couldn't they sell it to a luxury hotel chain?

Why would they go to the trouble of building one of the world’s best training facilities and then sell it a couple of years later? That would basically just be admitting that we’ve given up on the future and would make us the laughing stock of world football.

 

[TopFox]

Maybe that's another of harwich's brilliant funny jokes?

Sick of hearing worlds best. Is really that or is it just grossly big?

I wrote ‘one of the world’s best’. And yes, it apparently is.

 

[SemperEadem]

Im yet to be told or see why its any better than most. Having more pitches and a swimming pool aint that.

 

[Club_B00k_Crutchless]

They wouldn't consider selling it, we'd still have to spend money on something else. At least having it shows we have aspirations for top quality, they just need to sort out the right people to run the place.

 

[TartanFox]

This whole Seagrave rage is ridiculous in my opinion.

The facility is for much more than the here and now, and is set up for the future to develop the kind of players we haven't developed in years if ever. What is clear that the last few years, eye's have been taken off overall project and we are now reaping that whirlwind.

In time it will settle down and it will fulfil it's potential.

 

[DagenhamFox]

I do wonder if all the pitches are too soft which might account for the number of injuries we constantly get.

The first team training pitches are identical to the King Power one.

Which is a massive problem as we've been shit at home for a couple of seasons now.

We already are I’m afraid. Our legacy is turning from the underdogs who won the league to the second champions to be relegated. Tragic

It seems like the club’s decision to make the Seagrave and KP pitches out of recycled bouncy castles has rebounded on them. It also explains why Soumare and Ndidi now both take their boots off before coming onto the pitch, and why the groundsman is the first person other than the supporters to start telling them to get off again, because their parents only paid for twenty minutes.

We should have a word with the Etihad groundsman. Seems to work for them.

 

[CityFox]

the second champions to be relegated.

Football didn't start in 1992 Lozfox. It existed before the Premier League did.

A lot of the younger age academy kids have been leaving us steadily.

 

[Hampshirefox]

It wasn't long ago Bodgers had the KP relaid because it didn't suit our style of football! What a fraud that guy was.

 

[Lozfox1978]

Only repeating what is currently being touted in the media. Legacy needn’t have any connection to reality unfortunately

 

[TartanFox]

That happens every year, they get released as they've not developed as was hoped.

Of course they may also leave because the coaching isn't up to snuff, or because they shouldn't have been there in the first place. At which point I refer back to an original statement that we have taken our eye off the project.
