I wonder how the skills studio will look? I read a book about how Hoffenheim under Naggelsman had an indoor facility which had four small goals in a room which flashed to tell the player to put the ball there. The idea was to optimise how quickly a player could control, turn and dispatch the ball under pressure. Wonder if it will be something like that?

Very impressive bit of kit. Great find, thanks for sharing.

As a fellow South London dwelling parent of a young goalkeeper, I didn't know this goalkeeping development course existed, and will look into it! And nothing to stop me as a parent picking-up and dropping-off in Bees clobber

Whilst not wanting to promote the herberts from down the road, Friday nights up to year 8 at Beckenham and then they're selective. I think there are courses at other South London locations too. Coaches were generally quite inquisitive about Brentford over the last few seasons when he wore his tops. That was until, when one enquired about where my son thought the Bees would finish this season his reply was "probably above you lot." Am expecting him to be released at any moment!

Looks fantastic and will elevate us as a club to a new level - this was something I hoped the club would use PL monies for as it is a massive long term benefit. Slightly surprised about the news about the Academy - is this something that is a PL requirement if we stay up for more than 1 or 2 seasons and will it mean B team concept is stopped?

The Palace one has been going up down the road from us, and looks very impressive. To get an idea of scale, on the top right you can see the Kent CCC ground at Beckenham. On the far right is Palace's other training facilities, which are already pretty good. Not sure if they're keeping that site on too or if it'll be developed.

As well as the extra space allowing CP to run a huge amount of youth training, it also seems to do a good job of getting local kids following the club. My son does goalkeeping dev there. They have banned other club kits from being worn this season, so he's had to leave the Raya kit at home.

The same is true of Brentford CST coaching sessions. No other professional club kits, Bees, youth team or country kits are OK. Changing soon to be only their training kits and these will also be used as match kits so no more pulling on the red and white stripes for them which I think is a shame.

It is a requirement of UEFA for inclusion in any European competition for the Club to operate an Academy.

What happens when we finish 6th this season then

 

[GABS]

Typical Brentford innit

 

[Alex]

The cst will be renamed

We'll just sign Arsenal's Academy on a season-long loan?

 

[Gazza Bee]

Or their 1st team and stick them in the academy...

 

[rebus]

We will run a new Under-18s at Jersey Road under category four. The CST pathway is just a sop really (No offence).

It won't happen if we get relegated.

Looking at costs, this could be £15m to £20m based on square metres.

I presume they would go through the planning phases etc. anyway just to speed things up if we go back up to the Prem quite quickly.

 

[aslan]

You don't wanna go down, Brentford!

 

[shaun]

Does one really need 15 pitches? Or even 24 (Chelsea) or 21 (Leicester)....

If you have an academy on site, then you have a number of age groups playing on different sized pitches and in the younger age groups more than 1 team and so more than 1 pitch required post after group if you are hosting one of the larger academies.

would we completely dump the plan if we go down in 6 months?

Would be mothballed

I would hope residents would jump at the opportunity - upwardly mobile football club using the land largely as a greenfield site is a boon to the value of their property and enjoyment of it compared to any other use of the land another owner would make of it if we are frustrated and decide to up and move elsewhere.

Spot on.

what would you like ? This or houses in a couple of years when Brentford have found a new home because you objected.

 

[We are Bees]

This looks amazing ..
Will we be signing younger age groups again in the Academy ?

 

[AB]

Would be mothballed

Would we proceed with the planning process?

 

[hobbsy]

I guess it depends how far down the process we are

I agree, Bmouth got relegated and after all their years in the PL had very little to show for it as they spent a significant amount of money on players and wages and eventually had to shelve their training ground plans.

To be fair to Swansea they built a very impressive training ground with their PL money. I'm glad we've already put plans in place and if we survive in the PL over a couple of years money will be spent on long term benefits.

@Banana thank you for sharing the plans.
