THE CONCRETE ROUNDABOUT (TCR)

Isn't this just an upgrade of the SET's facilities?

I don't think there is a suggestion from that minute that this is the new plan. The site at Woughton is heavily used by the SET and is long due an upgrade in some areas.

I thought that at first but there’s only one building on the site currently isn’t there? That thing that sort of looks like a cross between a pagoda and a cricket pavilion.

I remember driving past the entrance to Fairfields and coming my way were the players in a convoy of cars - 5 were stuffed into O'Hora's small Corsa which was quite the site.

Unbelievable to think that we are still resorting to these measures, especially with us being here for near-on 20 years now we still haven't sorted this major necessity out. Should have always been training ground first then stadium which I think now PW acknowledges.

If I remember rightly the original plans for the stadium area included a bit of a training facility but was very small and was eventually dropped. Pete’s acknowledged a few times that the lack of a dedicated training ground from early on was a mistake.

I give up with it. Unless there's genuine blockers or further red tape to navigate through with the Bowl, it just seems counter productive to invest further in Woughton. It's a broken record now. I don't care if it's not perfect, the whole debacle has gone on far too long now. The stories in this thread are quite frankly laughable and what you'd expect with a non league part time outfit.

We are showcasing a Ferrari on a Saturday afternoon, but driving around in a bashed up Cortina and begging for lifts for the rest of the week.

Yep, but obviously the dome and the outdoor pitches fall into that description in the minutes. I think it's been poorly worded and the title should include SET.

It's been year's since that astro's been sorted there and I think the age groups train on that every night, including the kids just signing up to a football course.

Any other business should have included an update on the Bowl. In fact, the SB should be asking that to be a standing agenda item.

They wont ask as they dont want to upset anyone.

The fact of the matter is - the money invested into WOG should be on the Bowl.

Sorry if this is old news / common knowledge - but I was always under the impression that Winkie spent part of the Dele money on prospective pockets of land in and around MK. Have these now been sold on (presumably for a profit)? I thought one was now the huge new build estate on the left as you drive in on the A421 - Eagle Farm or something?

The only land, aside from the Bowl, that I'd heard was definitely purchased was the land on the banks of the Ouse, between Old Stratford and Cosgrove (aka that soaking wet bit of floodplain).

Yes this. Not seen any update on what they have done with this.
