Think if that's correct that's makes a statement more than some of the signings were being linked too, can see a huge increase being needed in back room staff and some serious investment being made on the sports science and rehabilitation.

This could prove a key factor in attracting top quality youngsters and senior players to the club.

can't see what we'd want with such a place , onsite gyms , phyiso , outdoor covered training pitches ...

It'll need a lick of paint.

That's brilliant would be the best in the business just need to get rid of the blue!

Yep thought that too...bit of red paint some Red Devils about and wow....

having played rugby on it (before it was city's) it was one of the top grounds
there was a cricket ground
two rugby and two football
plus bowls

Bowls, perfect for developing handling skills

When I joined the gym when it opened, I was told that Salford do not use it for 2 reasons. 1, was that they expected to get it for free and were not interested in paying to use the facilities and 2, that with limited space, to have 30 players plus coaches etc would severely restrict access to paying members, so they declined.

I would of declined it too if I was in charge at Salford why would you want members of the public getting in the way of weight sessions. And plus we need our own gym anyway, carrington is perfect!

The team do use the gym, go in on a Sunday morning about 10:30 and there's a troupe of players in recovery in their working on various aspects of fitness around the injury they are carrying.

Then we will have the same problem City have.

if that problem is the ease of access the media have so City are always in the news

I'll have it

Mullets, 'taches and egg-stained mid-90s manager coats?

Tea. All. Over. Screen.
