I still think it should be "The Markus Liebherr St Marys Stadium", nevermind the training ground.

 

Maybe when we move to the 50,000 capacity megadome Nicola Cortese hinted at. Otherwise, The Meccano St Mary's Stadium will do fine. :D

Top suggestion

 

I believe this was bought up at one of Cortese Season ticket dinners and the idea was apparently well received. (I wasn't there but it was posted on the forum.)

shows the ML family are keeping there promises as well by funding it, i think name the training ground after him and have a big plaque with his name on it at the front of the indoor complex.

This is interesting...

 

Councillor Alison Hoare, who represents Marchwood, said “When they reach the Premier League, reserve matches will be played at St Mary’s.”

 

is that because they anticipaite bigger crowds?

Meanwhile, Pompey are training in Eastleigh lol

 

Hey, don't knock it, they're good facilities.

 

Well, they were in 1991 for a Southampton University fresher not used to flat pitches, there was sod all else there apart from a sand-based Astropitch and the Wellington Bar. Though why they choose to train on the hockey/cricket pitch I have no idea. :D

that's not interesting.

 

The interesting bit is that the councillors name is Hoare

No doubt the building contains the best equipt and most lavish treatment room in the history of football. Which is a shame because (some of) our strikers will probably not want to leave that comfort zone.

If this means that we can attract the best young talent within the 1 and 2 hour travel limits, producing players like Adam and Alex to populate the teams of the future instead of paying Mickey Mouse money then this is money very well spent.

Saints are also helped by having a satellite academy in Bath which helps get around travel restrictions. Which is how Saints picked up Welsh and South Western English players like Gareth Bale and a number of others.

This is why Saints are doing it now, so that Staplewood is ready by 2012/13...

 

"The Premier League want to grade all academies and insists the EPPP will boost the standard of elite of homegrown players but admit no clubs would currently meet the requirements to satisfy a Category One academy.

 

The vision is to introduce the proposals by the start of the 2012/13 season giving clubs 18 months to build their infrastructure and employ more qualified coaches."

After what happened to Gray & Keys, I'm amazed you had the gall to write this sort of sexist nonsense. Mods what's going on?

 

WEll, to explain myself it is simple,

 

No money upfront, done on a fee free basis.

A seat next to Atkins.

Lucy and I feeling love for each other.

A seat on the bus of success.

Mrs Fonte and I playing football together, as that is the extent of my skills, discussing how to pronounce her husbancds name whilst eating a plate of my famous Caldeirada

The truth to the many rumours regarding the parting of Pardew.

The opportunity to lose weight on them Bicycles.

And that's it.

 

You have a very dirty mind, sir.

 

Now, who are these two new signings you refer too?

:rolleyes:

Just have a hunch that buidling has started, we had a cable damage today, usually caused on construction sites (bloody imcompetant digger drivers ;) )

 

I'll find out whats going on tomorrow.

Planning permission was granted in February 2011 for the temporary training buildings Saints will use during the construction phase.

On the 5th May 2011 you can see that the temporary buildings are now in place...

You would think they would be doing this because building work was taking place as soon as the Walsall game was over.

If I remember I'll do a reccy tomorrow and have a little look.
