Multi million pound rebuild planned at Ipswich Town's training ground
The club has started the process of buying up more land for the project
Work has started on a multi-million pound project to upgrade Ipswich Town's Playford Road training ground.
The club has started the process of buying up land on the Bent Road side of the current training ground, ahead of a complete rebuild of the facility.
Speaking to the club website, Town CEO Mark Ashton said: “I mentioned at the Fans’ Forum that the next big project would be the training ground."
“We’ve invoked architects to work on designs. We need a total rebuild of the training ground for the first-team, a more professional environment in which Kieran McKenna can work and develop first-team players.
“We have the new pitches now, but we need a multi-million-pound spend on facilities at the training ground to bring us up to speed.
“In addition to this, further developments for our Academy and Women’s teams will be included.”
