We were not looking for a CEO in the first place. Starnes himself is reported to have told a lad on the other forum after the QPR game that he was looking for a job and as Wael is a mate of his Wael created the role of CEO "
LOL, Really!!!! Funiest post I've read on here for a while.
Our players have to pick dog**** off the training pitch before they are able to start training, when you take that into account creating a job for a mate sounds exactly like the sort of thing that happens at the new 'professional' Bristol Rovers. Up the crazy gang etc... That I know for a fact is blatantly not true.... There is a permanent grounds man who lives at the training ground and as well as maintenance for the pitches (there are 4 grass pitches there and one 4g surface as well as tennis courts and the club house and changing rooms) part of his responsibility is to ensure there is no faeces from the wild animals on the pitches (typically foxes) ... he does this before any team trains or plays up there and it’s done c1hr before teams arrive. In the event that some is left in that gap then yes a player may be required to remove it but only if the grounds man is not available! I know this as a fact as I have used the facilities and continue to do so for the last c30years! If the gas could buy the entire training ground and own it for sole purpose it would be fine for us. The reason we only have access to one pitch and the 4g is because of the fact it is home to so many other local amateur teams who rent thy space and train there. Knock the club if you like but don’t make up blatant lies

No Twentyman did not confirm it. Twentyman said he had HEARD it. The two are completely different. Something people om here seem to struggle with greatly.

I said in the event the grounds man is not there then the players may be responsible for removing it. In the 30yrs I’ve been there EVERY week and arriving when the gas are training, only twice have I seen a player use a spade to remove some fox turd. It’s in a rural area and impossible to stop foxes getting in! This confirms that on a rare occasion it might happen but not as inferred that it’s a regular and common chore they have to do! What do you expect thought. Turn up to train, grounds man not there, bit of fox turd on pitch. Do you expect them to not train? Someone has to remove it!?

We aren't the only ones with training ground problems recently. Huddersfield manager David Wagner: "We had a gym which was used by the community as well. So if there was a lady on a bike and my player says 'I have to make a pre-activation because I have training' and she says 'oh, I have 10 further minutes to go' then he was not able to use it. "In the summer, there were the old ladies playing croquet on our training pitch and the groundsman said to me we were not able to use this part of the training ground because they play croquet there, or the gentlemen were playing bowls on the ground as we walked through. "This was anything but how I expected a professional club that had played since 2012 in the Championship, how it should look like."

If we ever get a training ground built at The Colony do posters think all the local foxes are going to simply disappear, as making any training ground fox proof would cost a small fortune.

Why would he even have commented if he wasn’t sure it was true. He isn’t obligated to address every remark. Why don't you call up Twentyman tonight and ask him to categorically confirm it to be true? Let's see what his answer is. If he knows it for definite he'll have no trouble saying it is absolutely certain.

I understand your defence of the place if you are involved there but we aren't talking once or twice, according to the players I spoke to its a regular thing. Why would they lie? They are fed up with the facilities which aren't up to standard for a professional club, which are behind some non league clubs but its something that SH and board say is acceptable.

Mate, I won’t claim the place is the bees knees nor will I claim it’s comparable to some professional facilities but it’s won awards for best pitch etc beating the likes of league clubs training grounds in the past... it’s not as bad as is being made out

Portakabin for a managers office, physio setting up in one of the changing rooms and taking down his posters at the end of the week so it can revert back to a changing room for the weekend. Sorry it’s a joke.

Sorry it’s a joke. I agree... but this was about players removing fox crap as someone implied players have to do it all the time as if it’s a standard occurrence. I just called it out that I know for fact that it isn’t true as I have had and am involved with the place. Just annoyed me the negative spin that was put on just to board bash (bash about some things but make them the right things if that’s what you want to do!) If rovers owned the whole place then with a bit of work it would be adequate as the pitches etc are there. The issue is they don’t own it and have to share with everyone else who rents the place and they have no more priority than the next person as we’re just tenants... Rovers need their own training ground and one where all the teams can train together and would pref have decent physio, recovery and gym facilities all on site. UWEs training area is no where near big enough and would just be like Cribbs ultimately so the powers that be need to get cracking on the colony... until then unless anywhere better comes up at a similar price, I think Cribbs is fine.

I was repeating what 2 first team regulars told me...why would they lie? And how could I make something up, which appears, someone else mentioned on a radio show, which GT said he had heard the same.
So 3 people have exactly the same story and neither of them know each other...I would say that’s more than speculative board bashing to me.
