Bodymoor Heath - Now the Recon Training Complex

[sickbeggar]

Just how much can you realistically get from renaming a training ground? It's hardly a major sponsorship opportunity. Smacks of desperation to me.

Didn't you see the press release?  We're going to be exporting our cutting-edge training methodology around the globe - starting with "How to take a throw in"...!

[sickbeggar]

heh. well there must be a market value on sponsorship within FFP surely? For example a company can't blatantly pay 5m over the odds to sponsor a dug-out without eyebrows being raised. I presume they're getting around this by actually using the facilities in some manner as a sort of "rental" as purely sponsoring the place can't be worth much to any company. I mean i can name about 4 clubs training grounds off the top of my head

Followed by ten lessons on "corners for us, not them"

"Lesson 2: The 'floaty' corner (Westwood method)"

"Lesson 2: The 'floaty' corner (Westwood method)"

"Lesson 3: musical statues when your team mate has the ball."

This is really starting to come together.  Lesson 4 could be - "Take the opposition by surprise: Route One with a lone, 5'4" striker"

Edit: Bugger! Risso beat me to lesson 3!

Videos of Warnock around the dugout at VP and SB press conferences must be extremely valuable.

Lesson 5 - The Lambert 4-0-6 Formation.

Lesson 6: keeper, aim for Snodgrass.

[The Moose]

Snodgrass or Adomah are only out wide to stop Johnstone's kicks going out!

Lesson 7: Everyone back to defend corners.

No problem with renaming BMH. Is this the pre-cursor to naming VP?
We have heard snippets about the plans for the North Stand and VP, although nothing has actually been seen.
So the plan must be to make money from our training ground secrets, reach the PL, redevelop VP and call it the Recon Group Arena, and then win the CL. Step one complete.

You've not been paying attention.  It's make sure you hide behind an opponent and point in the direction of your goalie

Throw ins. It's got to be throw ins. I can think back to my earliest thoughts, when you start to become sentient about the football as a child rather than the experience. And I couldnt understand why we couldn't take a throw in.
