I was reading the EADT article on the move of training facilities from Bent Ln to Playford Rd and the three new Premier Lg quality pitches now available.
This is obviously great from many perspectives and reinforces the ongoing investment in all aspects of the club but it concerns me slightly that the team are training on pitches which aren’t representative of our own PR pitch let alone some of the league 1 grounds we visit. Does it not make sense to train on a range of pitches of different qualities representative of those the players will play on match days?
What are others’ thoughts on this? |  |

As of next season the PR pitch will be a replica of the training pitches
We play on the away pitches once a season but on our own 20+ games a season
We could always have replica pitches of the away pitches but....... |  |

PR pitch is being changed in the summer and we will be in the Premier League in two seasons so worrying about how sh!te the pitch is at Accrington will be of no concern to us. |  | | |

The sooner the pitches and facilities at the training ground and PR are brought into the 21st century the better. It’s a shame that the PR pitch couldn’t be upgraded at the same time, but it’s all good and all about the future.
Given what training is and is for, I don’t think it makes much difference if the PR pitch isn’t the same, given the variable quality of surfaces throughout the division. |  | | |

. No way will we be in the premier League in that time scale. We haven't got out of this God forsaken division yet! |  | | |

Given the state of the pitches at Bent Lane if the manager wants to practice on poorer surfaces they've got the option to go across the road to do that even if they are now spending the bulk of their time at Playford Road | |

I was being tongue in cheek!
In all seriousness, it's a bit silly to think we'd rather train on a poorer surface with more risk of injuries. | | | |

I’m just fascinated that KM needs 3 pitches and how he uses them, even with a big squad. |  |

Some of it will be rotation of pitches to ensure they can be kept at the same standard. It probably requires 3 to be able to train on one every day of the week | |

Personally a bit gutted, enjoyed a stroll with the dog that way to watch a bit of training.
However great that the facilities have been upgraded massively, bright future |  |

That’s why the poster said that we’ll be in the PL in two seasons rather than now. |  | | |

Talking of pitches - is it my eyes, or has anyone else noticed some of the pitches in the WC seem to move like a bit of loose carpet when players slide, etc? |  |
