Maybe windy. Not for me tho. Owners of these charge clubs around £100 for an hours training in the winter . Scandalous. They are supposed to be affordable but they aren’t to many clubs

Nice shiny new facilities with absolutely no atmosphere whatsoever. Good for winter training mini league football pre season if your maintaining you pitch. Theres an occupant of one of these cages that is looking to move off as the owners are the only ones making any money . Horrible venues in my opinion The only issue is where are the grounds out there to replace these cages (and groundshares, reserves etc that are also pointed out on a regular basis). The access to grants for feeder league clubs(former step 7) is so difficult to get & sometimes it’s dependent on promotion to step 6. Also, an all weather pitch can be played on all season and numerous times a week. This benefits clubs the further north they are in the country, because the winter weather is worse. Ideal for the likes of Consett due to it snowing 11 months of the year mainly in August... I agree if clubs can bring extra income great but some of these venues have no atmosphere, seen more cheerful places like a cemetery

Thats it, the cages are better than nowt. Rather that than playing out of town and in sure the basic but modern facilities will be fine for Northern league level. Mind i suspect alot will be able to watch games for free due to them been see through

£100 an an hour is a bit steep, who charges that amount? Plenty places charge those ridiculous figures and that’s if you can get access to them. Majority are already taken up by junior football, as they have 10’s teams so can guarantee multiple bookings.

Excuse my possible ignorance, is this ground a permanent home or is it of a temporary nature?

It’s a short distance outside Middlesbrough’s boundary line and actually in Redcar & East Cleveland. It comes under Redcar & East Cleveland Council, but it's definitely part of Middlesbrough. At least the people from South Bank will tell you it is anyway!
