Anyone know how we get this exactly? Is the club trying to get it? Will the new training facility in llanrhumney have anything to do with it if that is still being built?

Normally with premier league status due to the cost. That's why swansea town got rid of theirs in recent years

I'm sure I saw Steve Borley saying the training facilities they are building are a key part of gaining it.

And the work is on going. And hes posted it on twitter today funnily enough.

Ill take a look at that mate nice one, what does steve borley have to do with the club these days?
If this is true and the new facilities are key to gaining it that is great news, as we know Tan is a big believer in producing youth prospects and bringing them through to the first team so if he is pushing for and gains CAT 1 then fair play to him, this is defo what he should be trying his best to do anyway
