Well it's a big step up from what we had previously and a great first step back to where we should be. But I do hope it's only temporary. We need our own independent dedicated facility in Stockport. That we own and only we use* *As far as professional and semi-professional teams/clubs go. By all means if there is the space and ability to do so without unduly damaging pitch surfaces or interfering with the training of the various County teams, then hire/rent out facilities for community use as a revenue stream. Mark Stott has already said it is temporary whilst they identify a permanent plot in Stockport to develop as our permanent facility. I know what he's said and what the club has said. As a Co-op Board Member I've been in a meeting with new club officials where they've said that. I just think it's important to keep reminding them of this and keep it in their mind. Hence my post. It was more of a "don't forget/renege on what you said" post.

Confirmed by the club on COWS.
Glad they waited until they'd done some refurbishment work and can show pictures like they have instead of announcing it too early and having nothing to show for it.
Great work.

Great work. what refurbishment pictures have they shown? Just some signage up, coupled with the other photos of similar signage around the new complex. www.stockportcounty.com/new-training-centre-confirmed/I just think waiting until these signs are up and it looks really professional was the better idea than annluncing it before it's ready

A massive positive, that badge just isn't growing on me though. The thing that’s irritating me is having 1883 on the crest/badge twice; perhaps it might have been a better idea to restore Animo et Fide to the scroll underneath the shield. (Noticed that Sale have also still got the three Cheshire wheatsheaves on their badge, as have Alty, and as we did originally; perhaps they should have been restored too!)

I'm probably being petty because so much good sruff is being done but it's just so generic, off the top of my head it's very City, Rochdale, Macc, Chelsea, it was an opportunity to give us something distinctive, look at Hamburg's badge it's recognisable anywhere and doesn't even need words or letters. Anyway the training ground is brilliant as are the signings, Mark Stott is getting nearly everything right and I know others will like the badge.
