can't see anywhere for our doug to watch

Looks right flash this.

Deeply disappointing they aren't building Doug a watchtower though.

maybe there'll be an aerial cable-controlled one-man basket so he can fly over the complex keeping tabs on everything. Failing that, let's hope he can watch from the bridge.

Maybe they will give him a telescope to watch from the bridge

found this.

Looks brilliant thanks for posting that but bloody hell if they use that pitch next to the large building doug will need his x ray spex to see them train

Top find, how nice does that look!!

Damn, players will be begging to join us soon.

I'll drive passed this lot twice a day beaming with excitement once building starts.

I don't get the small stadium though, what's wrong with the athletics ground that already exists? Is it to break away from the council or geeky athletics set-up?

Where's the running hill?

I guess its easier to just use the athletics stadium simply for that. I went there for a school sports day once (I worked in a school for a while) and using it for football long term wouldn't be great, it wasn't that big and the pitch would be so far away.

Ahhhh! Now that is something worth looking at.

This is the stuff that will make us one of the most successful football clubs in the world.

I love what our benefactor is doing, he has a vision that is truly staggering for our club
