I may be being really dumb here, but why do you need lots of pitches?

Rotation maybe? I imagine if they had 1 or 2 they would be fucked before long I'd imagine.

Training every day of the week, you need to rotate to give the pitches time to recover.

Barnsley. 4 pitches, an all weather and a smaller training pitch. Kind of shows how poor our facilities are now.

One thing we should probably consider is most clubs will have their academy and 1st team on the same site where ours is split across two

Interesting, seems like King is making a pretty comprehensive investment here, £1m+

I did hear the rent for the Higgs is £450 and the Dome extra not sure how true that is.

6” of topsoil and a layer of turf? No wonder the roots weren’t taking firm hold. How long has it been like that, years probably.

When the lodge was built/opened, football was very different. The pitches were perfectly adequate for the 1st/youth team there.... this does look like the first time that they will have been given a full and proper overhaul since then.... and it is very interesting to see this happening!!
