New indoor training facility

[lcafiero]

This looks promising, as I am going to speculate that training in the winter in Scotland is just a wee bit different than training in the winter, say, here in California . . . .

It just may be that the training conditions at Lennoxtown are contributing to the serious injury problems we are experiencing.

Being so close to the Campsies it’s being said the pitches are usually very dry and hard.....there could be something in this

 

[The Shamrock]

Not only dry and hard but as cold as a witch's nipple too.

Excellent news and Celtic should be commended! About time we upgraded Barrowfield and about time we had a full size indoor pitch that Tommy wanted.

Onwards n upwards for the historic Treble Treblers

Used to be great in the early days 70-80s you could watch the team train at barrowfield through the fence ,and even bump into the players running along the street going to it

Claim to fame i nearly run over joe millar at the lights

Donati tells a good story on open goal about the Milan team watching us training at Barrowfield before Lennoxtown was built.Milan players writing us off when they seen the state of our training pitch?beat them 2-1

Training in bad or good weather never stopped this wee guy honing his skills, Barrowfield, Celtic Park, Helenvale, Glasgow Green, Madrid, Lisbon.

Scottish football is played during the Scottish winter. It never snows in Wellington (We are 41S -think Madrid or Naples 41N) but I remember taking nappies off a clothes line that were frozen like boards and snow that lay deep and even. Anything that allows training in winter is welcome and a great investment. We would be the only club in Scotland to have such facilities. It would increase the gap between us and our neighbours still more. Bring it on.

That's true, boab1916. He didn't need a new facility to hone his vast ballhandling skills.

When you say ballhandling skills?...

 

[Imatim]

Not only dry and hard but as cold as a witch's nipple too.

Nope!

I reckon you were setting me up for it.....but I’m not going there ?

When you say ballhandling skills?...

Not with one's hands, obviously, and maybe that's more basketball than football, but what do you call it when someone has remarkable skills handling (footling?) a football at their feet?
