Wycombe Wanderers chairman Rob Couhig has discussed the future of the training facilities, as the club set to build a new ‘showpiece’ centre.
Negotiations on building the new training ground are being finalised, with the club looking to add to what has been an impressive overhaul of the current facility.
The Marlow Road complex could also be kept and continued to be used even after the new centre is built according to the Chairboys owner.
He said: "We are deep into negotiations on finalising the buildout of our new training ground.
"I know that sounds silly to people because why would you go build a new training ground when you’ve just worked on this one.
"It is because the next one is going to be truly spectacular, it will be a showpiece."
When the new training ground will be built is still unknown so the improvements on the current training ground have still been a big focus for the club.
The Chairmen added: “When getting a transfer to come to you and young guys to sign on to the development team, they are approached by other teams.
“So what we wanted to do was make the ‘player’s office’, because that is what it is, a place they could be proud off and want to go to.”
The training facility has had major developments this summer and it even was a deciding factor for one of the new signings.
The club has doubled the size of our medical facility, added a new boot room, kit room, media room as well as increasing office space for the coaches and staff.
He continued: “When you drive into the training ground instead of a gate that someone used to open in the morning, you come in and there is a ‘Welcome to Wycombe Wanderers’ and it looks first class.
“You have your key card to get in and we have a parking lock for players, staff, and visitors as before they parked on the grass.
“You go into the facility and Pete created a brand new first-team training room with showers and all of that.
“It’s a first-class facility and we know that because one of the guys we signed told us one of the reasons he signed was because when he drove up there he said he never expected this at Wycombe.”
The team will finish their preparations at the newly improved training ground on Marlow Road for the new campaign.
