Training facilities

[Ox4Eva]

Did I miss something but did the council say that an agreement was imminent at the OxVox meeting a few weeks back?

Anyone heard anything?

Good news on the training ground then.

It's going to a make a massive difference to have a permanent dedicated training base. I'm really impressed with the work Dan Harris is doing and I hope it will really help push the younger players on further as well as the first team.

Love that the club put out a video with the announcement, hopefully this is the new norm.

Great news! Looks promising, hopefully the new manager can make the most of it. Wonder if this is partly why the takeover took as long as it did?

Nice report here too

Really good news for the club, will also hopefully help with youth and player recruitment being able to show off a good training HQ

Great news.

That's another conspiracy theory put to bed then!

How much do we have to pay for this now and in the future

 

[Navegante]

Great job Tiger!

 

[Gary Baldi]

And to be fair, DE and the other stakeholders. All played their part in this.

Brilliant news, why so few posts? This is a huge step in the right direction for the club.

Now now, I’m sure if the announcement had been that the deal had fallen through, we’d have a similar number of posts on the matter. *cough*

Great news for the club and great to see that nasty Mr Eales was so influential in sorting out the deal.

That’s a new training ground confirmed, visibly better marketing and a ticket offer all in the space of a week! Not bad for a basket case club.

Now let’s have a manager please.

I reckon it would be a good idea to get all the players onto a coach and drive them down there to look at what’s being built. It would show them the clubs ambitions and what they have to look forward to next season. I’d pay special attention to the likes of Rothwell, Lego and Eastwood.

Coach? They can see it the other side of the road from training everyday [emoji6]

Can’t believe an own goal has been missed to repurpose the Positivity Bus image. Standards are clearly slipping.

Well they could incorporate it with a tour of the city if it’s an open top one ?

 

[Navegante]

The facilities will be a huge step up and represent significant investment: £4.9M. On top, there will be maintenance fees, operational costs (payable to Fusion?) and possibly rent on the land.

Would be curious to know how much this will cost OUFC directly and how this compares to the existing setup?

I'm guessing this is a good deal for the club as OCC are heavily involved in return for the local community having access.

 

[Leysboy]

Wonder what Myles and Charlie think about this. Normally quick to comment, mind you this is a step forwards, so perhaps there feeling down about what’s happening behind the scenes.

Top of the range trading facilities... great news...... may help potential young assets decide to sign for their local league side instead of going outside the shire
