AUFC 1910 Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 Railway end could see a new stand, incorporating all of the offices / changing rooms / kitchen - cafeteria etc for the players facing the training pitch 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itzdrk Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 Training ground is way bigger than the stand. That's huge for us. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders1910 Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 Out of curiosity, how many other championship teams have a training ground? I'm assuming all/most premiership do? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None i don't think, Dunfermline are supposed to be getting one but not sure if the Germans going will just leave them with an astro pitch Likes of Raith, Livi and Falkirk will all train at their stadium i presume since they've got the astro pitch 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could well be making this up but I think Kilmarnock are getting one when they go back to grass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought that’s where we were training under McCall. There is definitely a complex decked out in partick colours in maryhill 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Posted September 7 Share Posted September 7 I wonder whether they might redevelop the railway end and integrate it with a training facility. Gives them a bigger footprint to work with, could potentially have indoor facilities starting under the stand. Going to be a huge project either way and hopefully transformational for the club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with doing anything with the RailwayEnd is that it could cut into the away fans capacity . Those numbers will be very important should we go up . It’s why the three blocks in the new stand nearest the Railway End haven’t been sold to season ticket holders . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shibuya Posted September 7 Share Posted September 7 There is the Firhill Complex quite near the stadium but i think it's council owned and run. The scale of transformation going on at the club is quite incredible and something we haven't seen in generations. Car park renovation, the Hub, North Stand and improved hospitality offerings and now this land purchase. All credit to David Smith for pushing the club forward and doing what Bill Barr couldn't or wouldn't. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my mind you'd have a safe standing area there with a good capacity, but the concourse underneath could house changing facilities, gym facilities, etc, leaving as much outside space as possible for pitches and other training space. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fancy lego stadiums were very much the done thing at the time, you didn't have ambition if you didn't build an out of town, breezeblock and steel stadium. From an infrastructure point of view, apart from turning the pitch, there was no way to develop Somerset in to a modern stadium. The railway yard certainly wasn't available at the time. He also wanted the stadium to be self funding, renting out office space within the stands. 9 minutes ago, ryanayr1987 said: Do we not already have a gym in the main stand? It's below the hospital radio commentators bit in the corner of the Railway end. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
