YPI is a good facility, had a lot of investment over the last few years, new changing rooms opened last year, and the pitch is perfect!

The Latus brothers do have a gym there, but there's is a specialist gym, there is also another one which I suspect is there we'll be using, although it needs a few quid spent on it.

And yeah, The Beal's are big investors in Hull RUFC.

We need training facilities now. It can take a while (even for Man city and their billions) to get things planned and built correctly. I know Tevita was the head man DOR at Hull RUFC last year does anyone know if this is still the case? As said the main pitch is quality and it has catering / bar facilities for fans / players. the location is perfect for fans to get to right next to the dead centre of Hull.

As for the location I'm happy as it's less than a mile away from me. Needs some work on it though as people have said. With a regular attendance from the fans/players etc it will bring in more revenue than it is now to help with that.

Brilliant news that it's back in Hull, and only 5 mins away from me so I can make a lot more games.

The pitches on YPI are good, the main pitch was reinvested in not so long back IIRC, underground heating etc?

The main building may needs some money to it but it is a positive move.

No underground heating. Tevita has not been there this season, now works at a private school in Oxfordshire. The pitch was created at great cost to the Union club; any money over the bar or catering would go to YPI, not the union club or FC. The new changing rooms are great, but not in the same league as the Brantingham facility.

There are all weather tennis courts but I doubt these could be used for rugby training as they are hard courts not 3G and are leased exclusively to the Tennis Club. Surely a 3G pitch would be a priority.

Is there any idea of how much FC are paying for the privilege of using YPI?

great news about been in back in the city not the greatest facility but just to be in the city is great and is a step forward

Is there a great facility in the city at this current time? Location is great for most especially the young players and we never took any money from the bars at Brantingham anyway so lets see how this goes.

I wish people would stop moaning. Rome wasn't built in a day. AP has said he will invest a lot of money to give us the best training facilities, give him a chance. He cant just magic a location with top quality facilities it will take a bit of time. If people don't like it they can always go and follow the Dobbins, with their world class coach, squad and facilities

I can't contain myself yet more exciting news to come out of FC.

!

I can't remember where i read it but i'm sure i did about any money made from FC will be re-invested in the facilities

i know i expected pearson to build us a state or the art facilty with everything thats goes with it before the start of the season becuase you dont need the right location, or plans, designs, planning permission do you oh and the money.
the news today is hull are moving back into the city regarding first team training yet people want to moan about coz the facility isnt the best what about the posistives that people now have a great chance of going to watch first team traning and watching the academy teams

"It's just down the road, down the road apiece..." for me too . Just hope the facilities are given the investment to match Brantingham pdq, or this could be seen as another unfulfilled promise...

(Locko, have you become a Dad, or has Garbutts started selling PG Tips tea in fancy cups?)

That's why I am excited develop the facilities with Hull RU.

Exciting times.
