CARDIFF CITY TRAINING GROUND PLANS

"For any club with large scale ambition, first class training facilities for preparation, rehabilitation and development and nurturing of young talent are a pre requisite," he said. "Our existing facilities developed in conjunction with the Vale Resort were a major step forward for the Club when initially developed and we are grateful to the owners of the Vale for all their support to date. However, we believe firmly that the time is right to take our training facilities to the next stage.

"We have been working closely with Malky and his back room staff to put together a blueprint for a state of the art world class training facility, encompassing full size training and show pitches, warm up and goalkeeping areas and all weather pitches as well as a full physiotherapy and rehabilitation facility incorporating the latest in medical thinking. It is intended the facility will attract other sports and teams, both domestically and internationally to use the facilities.


"We are currently looking at a number of options for the location of the new facility, either as an expansion of the existing Vale development, or at an entirely new location within the City. We have already held extended discussions with the Council with regard to the plans, and they are supportive of our objectives as they fit well with the Council's own plans to make Cardiff a super hub for sporting excellence.


"This is a substantive investment and commitment and will help to put this football club firmly on the map, demonstrating the scale of our aspirations. Alongside our existing and brand new Academy facilities, it is hoped this will give the club the best chance of attracting and developing its own future first team players."

fantastic plans for the club

the club are certainly getting their training facilities to a much higher standard for the mini, youth and first team players

Fcuk um, let them train on Jubilee park and UWIC like the old days, proper facilities where they had to wait for the U11 little league to finish before they could get their spot at Sophia Gardens. Those were the days only tough journeymen could make it.

Namby pamby teenage starlets, captain of overseas international teams, England, Scottish and Welsh internationals, sports nutritianists and science ( ) experts we don't need them, lets get back to the dungeon, it was REAL then.

I was trying to be ironic, pointing out that it wasn't better in the old days even through rose tinted glasses. I remember cycling to NP to watch the city train and they were training on jubilee park with cones as the goals. We had a team of journeymen (not internationals) who waited for me to finish my 5 a side tournament before they trained on the astroturf.

That does look sick tbf

Where is the new training ground gonna be?
