Just a thought as I don't know it. LP said we're exchanging on the training land tomorrow, and then mentioned upcoming ground lease discussions. So putting 2 and 2 and getting 99, is the training ground land potentially suitable for a new ground as well as training?
Absolutely not. The training facility is in a semi-rural location just outside (& the 'wrong' side) of Highworth. Completely unsuitable site on which to locate a stadium. |

Has he divulged who will own the new training ground and how it is being purchased?

Fair enough, just wondered if there was the potential for a bit of leverage with the council over the lease. I.E zero rent, sell it to me, or we're off. |

Gareth Barry is funding it and will own it |

All very well being glib about it, but it's an immensely important question. |

Who calls up a phone in to ask if you drink Tea or Coffee? I get the general Cheese question, but calling in? Cringey..

Barry, as someone who got into the Prem at just the right time and has had a decent profile and longevity must be worth an absolute fortune....we've recently seen how Giggs and Gary Neville have gone into property development, as somewhere to invest their fortune....perhaps Barry is taking similar advice. |

Just be nice to know how it's being funded.
Could have implications for the club further down the line.

Doesn't really address the question, though.

Ling appears to be a sensible chap, first thing he's done since getting the job is delete his Twitter account - he was @martinlingy until this morning!

You don't want football managers using Twitter.
It would be mayhem... but mostly mean.
