Yeah they are just doing it for a laugh...Not really confirmation is it? It just means we have the space to be able to apply for Cat 1 status if we choose to, the bigger issue is the financial side which comes with the extra coaching/staff/etc that comes with being a Cat 1 academy.
It is interesting , in that the new owners are taking the necessary next step in progressing this project. They can't realistically be doing more until this next step is completed.Only interesting bit, and that's a stretch:
"Despite a perceived lack of progress at the Dore site, which previously housed the HSBC Sports Ground in one of Sheffield’s most affluent areas, sources have told The Star that work is going on behind the scenes. We understand that United have begun the tender process over the planned buildings on the site and aim to meet potential stakeholders next month."
Fair point, but having been involved in tens of tender processes, sometimes starting one wouldn't even be classed a major milestone of the project. It can be just a 'keep certain stakeholders happy' box tick. Show 'progress' to keep the noise down. I'm being cynical without justification, but it gets that way sometimesIt is interesting , in that the new owners are taking the necessary next step in progressing this project.

Understood. It's hardly a major milestone.Fair point, but having been involved in tens of tender processes, sometimes starting one wouldn't even be classed a major milestone of the project.

I think they've had their hands pretty full over the last couple of months, getting the deal over the line and then being fully immersed in a very active January transfer window. Seems reasonable to me that they should only now be turning serious attention to this work. I don't blame them for ticking the ' keep certain stakeholders happy' box by releasing this snippet of use....let's face it, keeping us happy is probably among their hardest tasks!![]()
The article just says there’s one final hurdle to overcomeI tried to read but impossible with the stars ads overlayed![]()
…coming first or second this season ?The article just says there’s one final hurdle to overcome
Reading the actual article I can only assumeThe article just says there’s one final hurdle to overcome
I understand the owners are planning an amnesty for us to hand-in our pitchforks & torches ...Happy? Happy? This is S2 4SU……..

JJ & MiserableBlader are on the committee for this brave initiative.
One suspects they have a hidden agenda
