Training facilities

[Flashheart]

Asking to get mine upgraded on FM 2012 and it made me wonder, what is needed anyway?

Any time I see a club or international team in training they are always in a field with some balls and cones. Surely that's all that's needed, asides from a gym and medical stuff.

Milan apparently have the best in Europe, but like you say, seems its just various pitches and a fancy medical set-up.

Bigger fields and more cones then?

One of them has a big wall and everything.

The new Man City training facility they're building looks pretty awesome. Think there is one pitch (indoor I guess) that they can change to match the conditions and playing surface of where they are playing next. Which is pretty cool, though maybe a bit over the top.

Why not? They must need it to go with their diving simulator....

Chelsea have indoor pitches as well in case the poor dears get wet.

wouldn't indoor be more towards avoiding the outdoor pitches cutting the heck up? if they trained as much as stfc do it'd be a mess with some rain

That and avoiding frost.
