seths-cap Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Heard an interesting fact the other day from a work friend that puzzled me some what. Her daughter plays for the ladies team and has to travel all the way to St George's Park to train x amount of times a week, taking 40+ minutes each way. We have a massive, utterly beautiful training facility based right here in Derby but for some reason send them all the way to bleeding Burton. Theres been plenty of rumours of wife banging and sausage play for a while but surely it's not that bad that we have send the women's team to Staffordshire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably just not enough time, nor enough facilities to share. Either that or they were all swooning over George Thorne and not getting any training done...probably the first one though.

RadioactiveWaste Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 I don't have any answers, but i seem to recall it was only reletivly recently the club sort of "officialised" the women's team and before it was really it's own quite small set up. It also struck me as i typed, it might be one factor in the development planning arguments (we have no space at moore farm for the Ewes team)??? I could be totally and completely wrong, and happy to be corrected on everything i just typed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair he is fit. I hope there is a logical reason as it seems a bit of fanny ache. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 I'm sure once they've expanded Moor Farm they'll be room for them. After all, that extra grub won't cook itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can we not just call the council sexist for not allowing us to build a place for the ladies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ninos Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 If they are DCFC, they should be at Moor Farm, male or female. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inverurie Ram Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Where does the name Moor Farm come from?..........was it named after Roger? It's not the best name is it, especially for the Ladies, playing at a Cow Farm, maybe it should be changed to Baar Farm, or for B4 Birds Farm? "Oh Gary Rowett had a farm, with a Ba Ba here, and a Ba Ba there........" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be totally and completely wrong, and happy to be corrected on everything i just typed. This is correct, until recently it was name only and largely still is. Home games for the ladies are still played at Borrowash Vics I think which is an absolute dump of a place. Training at St Georges Park is a good option as there is a dirth off good facilities in the area for childrens/youth/amateur football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still scratching my head. There's a limit how much one pitch can be used weekly, otherwise it'll get ruined. Not sure how much modern day pitches can take and does it change with climate, but it used to be around 20 hours per week when I played. Might be less as demands are higher and humidity is so much worse there. So basicly less than one team/pitch. If men and u-21 train there, it may be the answer.
