TS is putting money in and in a sensible, future-planning way.
Same with the appointment of BG. If we get his coaches in and a group of hungry, quality players sooner rather than later then you really cannot fault the man.
I'm of the belief that your environment moulds your attitude. The players should come back and see these vast improvements and know we as a club are serious about climbing the league's, and as such, raise their standards too. Congratulations to your family @Swisdom. Excellent stuff mate.
It’s been soooo frustrating knowing this has been going on but not being able to say much about it. It really does look awesome and Thomas has definitely put his money where his mouth is!
Perhaps you can now see my frustrations at those who bemoaned us getting in some “Portacabins”
id also like to say I’m incredibly proud of my father and his staff who have worked so diligently on this for months now. This is another hugely proud moment for my family for the club we love
Outstanding work, and well done! Certainly proud moment. It looks great, and well done Thomas

So do you know why on earth the club have given out very little information about this? It makes no sense to me.

It’s not my place to shout about it regardless of how much I’ve wanted to. The club want to get it done their way and then it will be officially opened and I dare say some internal camera stuff from Olly.

It does seem to be the way Sandgaard works. Get the work finished and then announce it. He might ease a few fans’ nerves if he dripped out little updates mind.
My guess is that the new CEO is trying to communicate more and share more good news stories.
Also in this case, the work hasn't finished yet and we haven't yet got Cat 1 status so maybe the hope was to shout about it when those two things had happened but it was decided that some positive news would be a good thing.
Valley Gold ”We knew that the facilities needed to be improved for that so we have been able to give £163,000 towards improving the facilities for the academy over there which we are pleased with.”
as covered end points out , why on earth wouldn’t they show off or promote what they’re doing down there , when the video is quite a bit virtual anyway . Share the good news It’s out now so FairPlay they prolly wanted to see some actual work rather than talk.

That's the kind of thing that can make a big impact towards changing the culture, morale and direction of the club very quickly.
All done on the quiet too. During the managerial search, I read quite a few accusations that Sandgaard loved the limelight but this doesn't fit with that all. Perhaps he's just learning to to keep his cards close to his chest in a world of rabid social media warriors.
We have previously been negative towards announcements of works, as once or twice in the past, we have been promised improvements to Sparrows Lane, only to actually only see sad photos of a ditch months later. This not announcing until its actually done could work.
That is a million times better than what we had, fair play to TS for investing the money on something he doesn't actually own.
A question though, i assume he would have had to get RD's permission to do all those improvements, given that it's RD who owns it?
In answer to your question; It would depend on what the lease TS has says but it is almost certain that, yes, he would need RDs permission as that is a pretty standard clause for major works in a commercial lease.
Elsewhere in this thread, someone said asked if it would increase the price RD would ask for. It may do as RD is irrational but assuming his wild valuations are based on some unlikely resi planning permissions then these works should have no impact. The fact you can also take them down and move them also means he does not get a lot more bargaining power over our stickiness to the site.
My view is that the videos look superb, it is clearly a huge improvement and real money spent by TS so well done to him. No fan can be upset by this.
Plus a correction on those now saying why was news not given earlier, we knew they had bought units as they told us, we knew they were much much better than portacabins despite being temporary buildings as they told us and we knew they were going for CAT1 so work was under way as they told us. It looks a lot better than what I expected tbf but criticism of communication by TS seems churlish to the extreme to me.

I'm not sure it's criticism at the lack of communication (it certainly wasn't by me). More that during a time where he was facing arguably more criticism than ever before, he could have taken the opportunity for some better news. Admittedly, there would no doubt have been comments about signing a manager or players instead, but those comments arrived regardless. I was surprised it hasn't been mentioned more, but certainly wasn't a criticism.
If the club had released anything on the Training Ground they would have been met with instant 'no point having those facilities without a manager and only six to use it' comments.
We knew it was being done and we knew there was a project to acheive Cat 1 academy status as the club had said so.
As for an update, it probably wasn't at the stage we wanted to it to be, just like the manager situation at the start ot the week or the current playing squad is now.
This way we have been spared 'oh great another trench' and the likes, it looks impressive and good to see where my Valley Gold is going.

Such a development is a terrific thing and I hope everything is fully completed very soon.
It makes no sense to me.

No idea how he breaks that down between the two is his warped mind or if he'd accept an offer for just one of the two.
