Other Stadiums and Training Grounds

[Guido]

West Ham's training centre looking like a council work dept. Do they still call it the academy of football? Stupid cunts.

Looks like a concentration camp entrance

My local team is in the US third tier league. (There is no merit-based relegation and promotion in the US, so the team is stuck there.) It has a tiny 3,500 seat stadium. But it's in a great location.

Monaco training ground

AZ Alkmaar, they train on the parking lot

Estadio Monumental 'U', Peru 80k capacity

Looks like a concentration camp entrance

the "arbeit macht frei" sign was getting repainted

 

[Guido]

If Soldado ever signed for Monaco they would have to factor in the cost of lost footballs, there is no knocking on the next door neighbours house asking for your ball back.

The concept for the new Getafe stadium and connected training ground

E.T phoned home

 

[Habanero]

We'll have the best stadium in the world..... til this one gets built. The new Los Angeles Stadium.

No mention of a cheese room or weekly videos by Chris Cowlin. Total amateurs.

Theres a lot of building going on right now, here are some pictures of some of my faves

Hungarian Fotball Academy, yes, it's a training ground stadium

New Stadion Velodrome, Marseille

Cologne

Shaktar Donetsk Training Center

 

[The Yinzer]

Seattle?

Pittsburg I think

Home of the Riverhounds!

Yes, Pittsburgh Riverhounds. The one thing that is good about the game being so unpopular here and having a low tier team is that most of the people who do show up for matches are great fans. There is an official club supporters section for people who stand and sing. These tickets are cheaper and you get a free beer.

Im a big fan of these stadiums and grounds being carved out the side of mountains.

 

[Tottenham Sean]

Southend are going to have a much better ground than West ham....

 

[Dr Rocktopus]

Went fiorentina away a couple of years ago....
The away end was shocking and in Dier need of knocking down and moving a couple of kilometres closer to the pitch

 

[Johnboy40]

Mestalla in the 1930's had chairs!!!!

imagine that at millwall

Not going to happen.

 

[Furball man]

ive been to prettier Lidl’s

 

[Stopspot]

Fiorentina have unveiled plans for a new training center which will be the largest in Italy.

Big fan of them dedicating almost as much training pitch ground for the women's team as the men.

Shaktar Donetsk Training Center:

Is that still in the same condition!

 

[Anthony Beale]

They've carved their training pitch into the side of a fucking mountain. That is big dog.

I understand your point.
But this is the PL. Awash with money. Gold and Sullivan invest in West Ham supposedly. Claim they are the second biggest club in London becuase of thier capacity. The Academy of football
Yet they have a training complex worse than most championship teams. Totally unacceptable for a PL club. Look at Burnley, league two 1995-2000,league one until 2004, championship until 2009. I season back down until 2014. Been down and back up again since then and even they have splashed more cash on, and have a superior training facility to West Ham.

Hackney Marsh's have better facilities than West Ham!!....
