So a year on and still no work on the new training ground at Garstang i do find it rather annoying now that still nothing has been done, How much better would it be for ollie and the lads to have better facilites. Come on Santa build them a ground

Garstang is not an ideal location for a training ground. Its too near Preston for a kick off! It needs to be soon though cause current "facilities" do let us down. Temp solutions at Fylde RUFC and certain rumours re payment etc make us look ridiculous when we are working towards a promotion push to the Prem I still have a bit of hope that Santa may just buy some ground very close to Arnold school! ooops controversial!

sorry to dash your hopes about arnold but blackpool footbal club paid 1 million pounds last year for a piece of land in garstang! i can not think what else it is for but a training ground.
of course the football club bought the land off a oyston property company.

That's the first time I've heard about Garstang!
I thought it was going to be on land off Balaam Rd in Lytham.

Can not be Lytham anymore due to them discovering a rare species of newt on the land and local opposition to moving it, The council also refuse to give any sort of planning permission for the land at the end of the M55 so that's out the window.
Then we have this payment for land acquired by the football club in Garstang.
Just think the club needs to keep moving forward and a training ground set up has to become a priority surely

Quite incredible that you need Planning permission for some open space in which to play football. As for the natterjack toad I'm sure they will evolve in to a ball ducking species. Who said that Fylde BC were backward thinking? Sell the Garstang plot and insist we need something nearer the ground.
