So we're in the area circled blue and Sale Sharks have moved over to the area circled in black?

We've had a few players in recent years who wouldn't have looked out of place training at North Cheshire Equestrian Centre.

Brilliant move this. It's like a dream. Albeit one where we've got a rubbish badge. But a dream nonetheless.

Also nice and local for United to send some promising youngsters to us on loan from Carrington.

Where could you build a new base in Stockport, then?
I'd presume the flood plains around the Mersey, Tame and Goyt are out because... well, they're flood plains
They specifically mention aiming for 'community facilities' so I'd presume that'd rule out anywhere in the sticks (I'm thinking out Mellor way)
The land behind Bridgehall is too small if you want multiple public & private pitches. The old Adswood Brick Works? Stanley Green?

The old Adswood Brick Works? Stanley Green? Plenty of space behind bridge hall for multiple pitches. As you can see from the below, there's already a pitch there so you can get an idea of scale. With careful planning you could squeeze quite a few pitches onto that land, along with a building to house a gym and other facilities.

The old Adswood Brick Works? Stanley Green? Huge site available at the old Offerton girls school, would make a fantastic base for the club and any community facilities. Especially as life leisure seem to be set on closing the leisure centre that’s there.

There was talk a while back of making Woodbank Park a sports village. This could be our training venue. The cricket pitches aren’t used anymore, but with the removal of a few trees up top you could get 2 pitches there and renovate the Hall.

For County's aims, you'd be looking at 3-4 first team pitches and perhaps another 3-4 academy pitches if we get the youth system going again
