The pitches at Beversbrook are very good, and they are about to add a spanking new artificial pitch there too. Can't see a problem with it personally.

The old training ground was a field with some cones and the new training ground will also be a field with some cones.

I'm sure the new arrangement will be a backwards step. Currently there are 3pitches that are solely used by the first team. They are high quality and exact sizes of the county ground surface. 4 other pitches plus 2 mini pitches are used by the cofe . Also the location is near home base. If anything the club should be looking to do something with supermarine if they have to move.

Port Vale fans are claiming Perry Deakin is a new Director, I highly doubt this is true.

Wasn't the place at Calne part funded (wholly?) by a branch of the FA, if so I cannot see a problem with moving there. Wiltshire Sound were reporting that we were going to invest a signifcant sum in helping to further develop the ground at Calne. As regards King Edward's Place, there were several times last season when training could not take place there and we had to migrate to Cirencester and their artificial surfaces.

This report doesn't sit well with me at all.
So he hasn't invested, he's lent the money as a loan...hmmm.
Sir Seton and his family were always loaning the club money a few years ago - doubt they ever got much back though! |

I'm surprised more comment hasn't been passed on this snippet of info. I appreciate, we probably can't afford Wanborough any longer, as we downsize the club...but why Calne of all places...isn't there somewhere a bit closer to home.
OK it might be a really good deal and make no difference...but as someone who down the years hasn't been adverse to watching a few training sessions, this seems a strange move.
When I started off, we had the A Ground, down the end of Shrivenham Road....this I reckon lasted until very early Macari, when we were evicted by the Thatcherite drive to place community assets into the hands of private owners.
Then the Wills Ground was used...well I recall my first encounter with Ossie Ardiles...I had to show him the hole in the CG Extension hedge that you went through to access it...swoon....
When the Wills Ground was concreted...it was off to the BR Ground, in the days of Hoddle. Often too wet to use, Glenn would often conduct sessions on the all weather part of the athletics track on the Extension...using the jumping zone for ball skills work.
We've been up at Wanborough, for a good few years now...excellent facility...in the early days it was easy to get in to watch training...always an eye opener, but then security kicked in etc, and it became too difficult...although, the odd session with King coincided with work.
I suppose it will be good for the out of towners and there's a good few in Calne.
Because I told them it was more convenient for me |

Only negative I can think is drainage issues. Many Sunday League games are called off for the slightest of rain this season. Positive, maybe all the local talents will join Swindon set up and not bloody Reading and Bristol Shitty. |
