Didn’t think it was possible there! Looks superb. They honestly must’ve had to hide the training ground when trying to attract new players. Must’ve put so many off.
Wonder if they could ever expand it further.
Bet Chuba Akpom loved it.I think it’s a known fact we’ve lost players because they saw Ryton. Even Robins has alluded to that.

Isn’t it nice to be a well run football club. Doug’s own words as he said it was embarrassing how we had been left
Hundred percent. But probably couldn’t take us seriously back then. What a mess.Shit player who thought he was bigger than us and didn’t want to be here.

Wasn't there some rediculous comment that he had to get something before a game at Northampton because he hadn't eaten!Bet Chuba Akpom loved it.
Loan move was doomed to fail from the off - He kept buggering off to play for Arsenal's reserves whilst he was on loan with us and he never got along from Pressley from minute oneWasn't there some rediculous comment that he had to get something before a game at Northampton because he hadn't eaten!
Thank god that era's over!
Used to be ours. Jimmy Hill had to sell it because of the Washington Diplomats debacle.Looks absolutely fantastic, great job from all involved, actually feels like our owner cares. I thought long term we'd try and buy the sports connections building on the opposite side and build a modern facility, get out of that poky building we currently have.
Southampton's academy alone is bigger than Ryton.Looks great and is a million miles away from what it was.
That being said, still feel it’s too small and long term we should be looking for a new site. Would be nice to be able to integrate the academy with the 1st team too.
So is Hearsall Common but that's covered in dog shit.Southampton's academy alone is bigger than Ryton.

Isn’t that what they used to have to do, but I think it was what robins said, 99% of their time they’re at the training ground.There's an argument to be made that a small 'homely' training ground has helped us foster the close unit and team spirit that we've managed to build under Robins and Adi. If any of you have seen the '99 documentary on Amazon where United were still using The Cliff training ground (shit hole) and Fergie built their environment and attitude around that.
Biggest issue is definitely losing out on signings purely because of it though, so it's good it's had a makeover. Can we not just show potential new signings around the CBS and get it all sorted out there?
