First question of the phone-in. They're in discussions with the trust of the deceased.
It's being used toward a new training ground in Chippenham (probably) there is an article about it today but i can't seem to find it.

Ta gents. Much obliged.

Personally, if we've £5 mill to invest in a new training facility, I'd rather it was in the Borough of Swindon, I know Power says he's tried, but why should Chippenham benefit?

Could be the thin end of a relocation of ground wedge....

Finally catching up with this, I think its clear he is getting a lot more confident and natural talking to the media - seems a lot happier.

Is it me or does LP only really talk to Linksport (and BBC Wilts)? It seems like they have some sort of agreement to get all the 'exclusives' in exchange for not reporting anything remotely controversial.

Asking a similar question.... Is it me or do you only post negative things about the present board do you do this in exchange for something from Jed?

If you had listened to the phone-in you were told by Power that one section of the media are happy to print the negative things and generally stir it up out of all proportion - fairly obvious why he would prefer to talk to others I would have thought!!

If there is news to be reported then I think Link & BBC report it but maybe they tend to word things different than certain other media and try and find out the facts first instead of just writing a negative story with no hard facts.  
Sam had his issues with power last season but I think it shows that Power now trusts him to give him interviews and information, Sam has proved himself worthy of this in LP's eye's.

I heard that. But it depends how you define 'stir it up'. I think LP means anything other than positive, and unfortunately negative things go on at football clubs. As part of the community non footballing matters are important also.

Not sure about the relocation, but Stanley Park is an exceptional facility already, winning awards and is apparently regarded as one of the top venues in the country after Burton.

Town's Youth Teams already play there, Southampton's Academy Development Centres play there, Spurs Academy held a Summer Holiday session there and the Spurs training staff were blown away by it.

I don't mind that the funding will be leaving Swindon, its more important Town have outstanding facilities than location.

More likely tied in with the rent thing, "lets get talking or...."

If we do go there, we should definitely tell Southampton to fuck off.

Lee Power is a fantastic bloke. I've got quite a strong friendship with him and he's genuine and down to earth. Top man.
