Park Grammar School please, if it's going to be an age thing. I passed the 11+ to get there.

That was when it was a toff's school - when it opened, the Swindon Mayor at the time (Diamond?), who lived on Bath Road, managed to get his son in there even though Commonweal Grammar was only 10 mins walk away.   Smiley

Not so sure about that my sis was at Commonweal, and was transferred to Park, because SBC wanted to make up the numbers there, we lived about half way between the two.

Where is the location for this? Sure I saw somebody mention it on another thread over the last couple of days but can't seem to find it.

Nothing concrete, just in the borough and near to sign off.

A timber-framed training ground, that'll be twee.

I do like it that the new training ground is no more than a few (about 5) fields away from the River Cole which forms the border with Oxfordshire.  (I am sad enough to have checked this on the satellite view of Google Maps.)

As with all things STFC, I'll believe it when I see it, but if it does happen then it's an impressive effort from Mr Power.

An asset for the club which may help when Power sells up.

Let's hope there are no 'development' opportunities there.

That's crossed my mind as well. Having no sale-able assets has been, ironically, something that may have protected STFC from unscrupulous developers in the past. I hope this is something that Power/The Trust have considered.

Me, too. Not owning the CG may be a blessing in disguise.

I presume, though, that if the Eady money is being used there must be some clause in the legal jargon prohibiting any future sale for anything other than sporting related.

I thought Power has said in one of his radio chats the Eady money was being kept back and used on the ground - I also hope that the likes of the Trust ensure that the training ground is owned by STFC and not owned by L Power & Co and leased to STFC, this for me is very important
