from "PL money will set us up for years to come, with a state of the art training ground to nurture talent being a lasting legacy" to "the moneys gone, apart from my 50m that i want back in 3 years...oh and i want to keep 25%" utter shambles. this training ground made me so hopeful for the future - we really could have attracted some of the best kids around with our new model. the tide is turning a bit and parents are starting to 'get' that going to these PL academies in not necessarily the best option...i really hope we can attract these players as we have nothing to prop us up and phil gets all the stick because he cant plaster the pissing seive of the last few years The tide is turning Ritchie and the model town are working on is slowly showing fruition.having seen first hand what a good group which enabled Ian Lawson the Clark brothers john worhington j stead etc to become first team regulars this present cropp has all the potential to be the best of the lot.as with all young players the secret is handling them right i.e. When to put them in and take them out and I'm sure these coaches will do that Attracting the best young kids is not so easy if you are in league one though. You said you had seen the facilities and that they are first class, how though have the plans been scaled back and downgraded from the initial ones that we were shown ? How much is being saved ?

Canalside is a joke and a right white elephant. He banned the public, said he was spending £20 million on upgrades needed to take us to the next level and hasn’t done, he’s believed to own the facility and rent it back to town and got rid of the snooker, bowling and gym!!!
I want to know what actual upgrades they’ve actually done and why the original plan was shelved. I’ve no time for the club at the moment and if this continues along with the pathetic performances on the pitch can’t see me buying another season ticket again after this season.

It’s a disgrace, Joe. The Rec Club was perfectly fine for many, ms y years until Hoyle got his hands on it, kicked out the members and now even makes the club pay rent to use it.
Still no answers if the ground shares are in trust as promised years ago either.
There are too many coincidences of money and assets being transferred into private hands for my liking.

We're a right bunch of doom laden moid hoovers on here aren't we...
Is it mandatory for a football club supporter to be a moaning bastard? 😁
'Football club supporter', there's an age old irony somewhere in that name...

Club representatives stated that the current phase of redevelopment is almost complete. In response to questions from panel members, they confirmed that the three-storey building outlined in the original plans has not been built. Mark Devlin explained that the club has planning permission for the building, which may be acted upon in the future. He also stated that the club has invested approximately £6-7 million on the redevelopment project. Some panel members were disappointed that the original plans had been scaled back, while others questioned the club’s lack of communication on the subject. In general, opinions were mixed. Mark Devlin responded by assuring those present that the training facilities are excellent. He did, however, recognise that the club’s communications have not been as clear as they could have been. David Threlfall-Sykes said that the club will release further information once the current phase of redevelopment is complete, which is expected to be a matter of weeks. Att minutes are below mate www.htsa-web.com/post/meeting-minutes-of-the-all-together-town-att-panel-23-09-20

The club have just posted Phil's pre-match notes for the Norwich game on the website from a fortnight ago www.htafc.com/news/2020/september/phil-hodgkinsons-pre-norwich-city-notes/Better late than never I suppose.

I said similar when it was set up. You'd think they'd already have a voice with the Club, why clog up this thing too. Like you say nowadays they seem to be interested in Somalian refugees and political shite. I'm sure the refugees are suffering, poor bastards, so are we.

Once again, the club promised the moon on a stick and unveiled ambitious plans with a huge fanfare.
The reality is a half-arsed result done on the cheap and ushered out in the hope nobody would notice or ask awkward questions.
At what point do all the smoke and mirrors become downright ambiguity and blatant lies?
The club is a shambles from top to bottom, seemingly run by charlatans and spineless yes men.

I feel incredibly let down by this, mind you I will be greatly encouraged when the 13m that was earmarked for a first class facility has been re-routed into the player recruitment fund to counteract the need to sell Grant before we buy.
The problem the board have created for themselves now is that when they say trust us, believe etc. why should we? The track record is obviously proved to be untrustworthy.

Deceit by not announcing it until asked... very poor. This money was all budgeted for to create a legacy.

Who was on the ttc podcast recently assuring fans it was still going ahead but the offices were no longer being built and that was only because some room had become available at the stadium?? Was that a bare faced lie or has the club changed its mind and decided to spend the £13M on players instead? There's some nasty whiff coming from the club recently. Honesty, integrity, respect. Lol.

Sorry but I thought the big plan going forward was to entice talented kids and develop them. The £20m facilities were the big positive to help us get some of the best weren’t they ?
