Complete speculation! Say he goes for £75m (Twitter Rumour Fee!) over say a 5yr deal, and we have 10%, we would expect to receive £7.5m, likely as £1.5m over the 5 years… Understand complete speculation but surely even the former BOD would have got at least a 10% sell-on. If he does go for even £50m, that’s a good portion of a new training ground paid for. I like the idea that the sale of an academy graduate has contributed to that directly. How much do training grounds cost!?

How much do training grounds cost!? £3 million for Exeter's upgrade to an already existing facility... www.weownexetercityfc.co.uk/post/work-set-to-begin-at-cliff-hill-training-ground

How long is a piece of string Will it be just first team or academy as well Will it have a Dome [ neccesary if you want to get to Cat2] or not Will the land be purchased leased or gifted What will be the state of the land ie was it previously contaminated I was told that the council has suggested a location to them that should they go with it the council will come on board but the word is some at the club dont think that the site is big enough. Which is where the guessing starts as the ex school site although it has things going for it is said to be too small [ but there is a parcel of land adjacent to it that could be bought] but that isnt council owned so you think that cant be it I.m sure there will be others on here who have their ideas and some who might well be in the loop but who will no doubt be claiming its top secret.

To replicate what Fleetwood have now would certainally be at the top end of that figure but it is a bit bigger than what you really need tbh and the 12 pitches thing isnt really correct some of them would be better described as courts rather than pitches. Ive said it before and i.m happy to repeat myself in that the model they should look at is Blackburns at Brockhall its about the right size and a quality build which accomodates all the different squads and the accadamy within the same facility now after they moved the accadamy in from another site. I would go with a large area site but start with building what you could actually get away with but with plenty of room to expand when neccessary meaning you could do the extra facilities and pitches as you go along and can afford them which is always the best way budget wise for instance the in house team could construct the extra pitches over time rather than paying contractors 350k a pitch to do them. I would have thought 4 or five full size grass and a full size artificial along with some training areas would be about right to start.

Should have said i understand the land the council have in mind is some land purchased in connection with the construction of the new Southern Bypass probrably a farm where it was cheaper to buy the lot lock stock and barrell rather than just the bit they needed for the road etc. Maybe somebody up there can work out the land in question.

Not been up that bit in a while pal but as The White Quay already has a construction there then this site and surroundings could be a possibility. Saying that, there could have been a new estate whacked up in the last couple of years.

The White Quay now thats a name that rings a few bells pretty sure it was owned by a consortium of postmasters from Preston and i went on a jaunt up there to have a look with a view to taking it on. But turned out it was a bit late in the day as the gypos had already been in a stripped everything worth taking.

Was just a shell last time I looked, I parked up as there were three Buzzards hanging round it on the building and fences, massive they were. As you keep going south on that road a few miles down there used to be this pub that was tiny on the left, an old stone bungalow if I remember correctly, we went in there back in the nineties just to see what it was about and it was like being in somebodys living room - they cannot have gotten much custom as the draught beer was like vinegar. I imagine someone will remember it.

The Smiths Arms was further down that road too, blue railings outside. I would imagine that would have been even more like someone’s front room

The 'White Quay' is now a small housing estate, which looks like some fairly decent houses being built around the old pub, the pub being converted into one itself. The 'Crown' further up the road is still a pub as far as I'm aware, although it never seems to be open, I go up to that neck of the woods fairly regularly, and as yet I've never seen it open during the day.

White Quey, wasn't it? Quey means a young cow.
Also interesting how folk pronounce it. Just been googling it and all the audio pronunciations online are not what I understood to be correct.
