The training ground.

You would think Power would want this resolved sooner rather than later as the saying goes time is money!

And Power doesn’t have a bottomless pit.
Expecting issues to come out of the woodwork around ownership. It hasn’t gone way.

exactly. especially now.

that's not even a dig, it just seems unrealistic in the climate

It was going to be funded by the proposed residential housing on the site. That looks dead in the water.

So we’ll end up with permission to build a training centre but have no money with which to do so.

How much is the horse training facility likely to be worth? Maybe Taylor Curran's dad is going to fund it.

Housing scheme is not dead in the water, Council still seeking further information which the club continue to provide, the Council noting that it will come to committee in due course.

The suggested Conditions for the training ground include one banning the use of whistles on the 4G pitch after 1900 in the evening!

I am hearing that permission for the training ground has now been passed.

Same, gonna be interesting to see if this progresses. I suspect it will wait until permission for the houses is received.

Went to committee last evening along with the equestrian facilities (both recommended for approval by the officer), no indication on line as yet as to whether it was approved or not.

No date yet for the housing to go to committee and as undoubtedly that is what will be funding the training ground cannot see anything happening until that is determined one way or the other, consents will last 3 years so plenty of time for now.

Is exactly that not confirmed by the Adver article?

Club owner Lee Power's application for a purpose-built complex on the old Twelve Oaks Golf Club site in Lechlade Road was approved last night by Swindon Borough Council’s planning committee.

It will also include top-class training facilities for racehorses.

I think posts crossed, I was only going on what the Councils website said and its way too early for any minutes on there, but happy days if the Adevr are reporting it..

I was told this last night by an employee of the football club too as they had already been told the outcome.
