Training ground

[Cookie]

Thye club state on their front page that training will commence next week. Any-one know where this will be held? I want a nosey at the players. Of course it wont be at our place! Maybe it will be kept secret!

[TonyM]

[Rob_Butler]

Just out of interest Rob are there not any other fans from your club who use your forum. Just out of interest, because it seems they have none, interest that is, if that be the case. I mention this as you are obviously keen to post but probably feel that on your site there is no-one to talk to. Is that near the mark? I am just curious! Shame for you if that be the case.

instead of having this forum on are website we a shi*te bravenet one many people use this because they are on the website looking an its more conveinant i think they should replace it with this one myself because the other one you can only access the ramsgate part, an also you can not register this means people who always use the same name e.g. petts always get people saying they are him this means people have a go at him on the forum for always swearing when half the time it is not him

They train near me at gravesend rugby football club on the all weather surface. Thayt's on mondays and on wednesday they train at stroud all weather surface. I have been along to see them train on Mondays between 8 and 10 p.m. They have not trained at HP since the CK came. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

FOOTBALLFAN (Rob Butler).Can you insert commas and full stops in your posts as I run out of puff everytime I read them. Just noticed that you actually DID put in in the post above. Well done!

Be interesting to see whose training next week then.

With the information overload on that to date, seems like we have one vintage player-Edwards

are margate still training at Gravesend? or is hartsdown ready for playing on

[Paul H]

Hartsdown is not ready to train or play on. Its still a building site and the grass is slowly routing so I understand. Building works are still progressing. At this moment I believe that the walkways around the pitch are being concreted.

Improvements to the hartsdown rd end will be commencing shortly. Perimeters to the ground have been measured for and the floodlights ordered. Work should start soon.

thanks for the update

[margateshot]

eyeballpaul4. Margate have always trained in the Gravesend area, certainly since CK has been here. It has been more central for players travelling rather coming all the way down to the coast. There have never been any proper training facilities at Hartsdown anyway.

i was wondering were they used to train becuase i knew they could not train on the pitch

[Paul H]

You what. Im fully aware where they train my friend. Ive followed mfc for the last 15 years.

Im the old kit managers grandson and have spent alot of time at the club over the years. Its always been an interest of mine.

I wasn't stating that the pitch couldn't be trained on, and that it wasn't ready for anything at the moment.

I think that even if we get the planning permission for the 5 a side pitches and hotel. Ck will still train in gravesend.

As for training facilities. At the old HP their were facilities but they were limited. I played for margate youth from under 9's to under 13's and then was part of the original side that formed Thanet Colts football club. I stayed with them untill the mid of last season. 10 years with TCFC finishing in the works league. Im fully aware of the training facilities at the old hp. We trained under the floodlights outside the football club on and off for many years!
