Can you help me understand this please as you and Swiss seem to be saying different things. Are the new training facilities for the first team complete and ready to use? Of course, it could be me being dim again and misunderstanding. Are they complete: no. Are they functional for their primary use: yes. I believe what Swiss is saying is of course the facilities at CD are better due to being on one site and there being no need to rock the boat. He's right - its a rent v ownership thing but is having a bit of pride and wanting to use something of your own a bad thing? I wonder if Swiss would have correlated our training ground situation to our form if we were still losing? My question is, today, right now, is the new training ground better. If we were to move operations there would the players arrive, look around and would 2 things immediately happen; would they have better training facilities and would morale be improved? If it's a 'yes' to both of those then it doesn't matter if elements of the development aren't complete. But can you point me towards the information confirming how far we've got with work at the site please?

The main building not quite ready, but have a base just down the road
The pitches are obviously ready and done to our spec to match The Mem (is that the most important thing?)

Two different questions and you are changing the goalposts - your previous question was are they ready to use not are they better. One could argue they were ready to use as they are being used. Wouldn't know about the morale but maybe the playing/coaching staff wanted to be on their own site and as much it has improved? How could an outsider answer that question? In regards to your last point I cannot because the plans have never been issued. However it has been well publicised that a main building is to be constructed and once done I think that's your lot for phase 1.

But no goalposts moved I don't think, just trying to understand whether moving there today would actually improve available facilities or not, and it appears that the answer is that we don't know? To go back to your own analogy, a camping stove may be 'ready to use' but that's not going to encourage you to stay home and cook rather than dine out at a decent eatery.

In answer to the original question. I reckon it's "go" then.

I'd there any coincidence BG relieves interest in the forum the same week BG is relieved of his duties?
Has anyone ever seen them in the same room?
Hmmmm...🤔

I thought Swindle was going bust - still with wages only paid out if they win - Garner might not be toast of the town - But more likely lard on toast!

Don’t worry about it KP and what makes you think he will be any better at Swindle than he was with us, which was hopeless, always reminded me of that bloke Souness signed when he was in the chair at Pompey.......Private Joker ,nothing more....

Pleased for Garner. B***** looked a tit blaming the previous management for his shortcomings as manager.

delighted for BG
and this job won't involve playing what seemed to be his weakest suit - dealing with the press

Pleased for Garner. B***** looked a tit blaming the previous management for his shortcomings as manager. Whose side are you on? I respect the sentiment, but surely you would rather B***** be successful now than not. B***** was always going to blame the previous regime as would Pulis, Allardyce, Holloway, Guardiola. I would like to see Garner be successful as I think he was sacked too soon and his own players could have responded to him. But I don't wish him to be successful this season in direct competition with us. It's just not on. He has no time to assemble any kind of squad or have any kind of pre-season, I think he has done well to get that job, but I am not sure it will work without them dropping into the conference first. If that happens they must stick with him and give him the time he did not get here. I still agree with B***** but blame Tisdale for our relegation.

I feel sorry for Garner, circumstances just didn’t help him. I just don’t like being forced to support B***** but obviously being a rovers fan you just have to get on with. It feels similar to when your daughter gets engaged to someone you don’t like but you just have to support. This season will be interesting, I think B*****’s squad will play for him and it’s looking more balanced than last season. He’s still an awful bloke, even if he wins promotion.
