£2 million doesn't buy you a lot of moden Centre of Sporting Excellence does it?

It's only a training ground and they don't need to buy the land.

Do you read the aticles before commenting?

[iThe complex would have new changing rooms, floodlit artificial training pitches and a state-of-the art gymnasium.[/i

Sounds more than "only a training ground" to me

Well a 3g/4G Pitch if they get a full size will swallow up about a third of that

rest will be a few Wii's with sportspacks i guess

The article mentioned "pitches". i.e. more than one.

Don't forget that, given the proposed location, what would be the cost of security?

If the facilities ever were built, who would be responsible for the running and ongoing maintenance costs?

shhh cod'ead, don't ask for specifics, no details will be entered into, I went into HSBC today and asked them for a £10m loan, they asked to see the business case, income and profit projections and to complete a credit check, I said I was really sorry, but all of that was unnecessary and inconvenient, I paid £2.79 for the markers I used to put it on the wipe board and I need to get the flip chart easel back into the office before anyone notices it's missing, I also asked if it was "'cos I is white" and made sure they knew damdn well that earth was part of the milky way, they didn't even trust my references for a similar business idea we recently completed on Ganemede. Anyway, got to go, got a pastafarian meeting tonight.

Sounds like a training ground to me. What would you expect to be in a training ground?

To be fair when your quoting that lot its nowhere near a cheap as 2million quid cod'ead so the article itself is in dream land and some people might get confused by that

LMAO (waits for all hull city supporters to come on saying it will be great for the city and shut up or we will kick you out of our stadium) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A training ground that would cost way over the £2 millions quoted


A flat, grass field is a training ground. £2 millions would nowhere near cover the suggested "extras"

As someone commented in the Allam Daily Wail's comments section: "he should have been co-opted onto the Olympic delivery committee, he would've saved the nation £ billions"

F**k. That's my irony meter gone into overload. People on here confused and misunderstanding articles in the HDM? Ger on. You'll be telling me they like Sadam Pearson next.
