Like in Zeist in Holland, Cologne in Germany, Spain's La Ciudad del Futbol and Coverciano in Italy now england is going to open one in St Georges Park in Burton-on-trent, my question is it possible to have something similar in the future in terms of a national training centre here in this country???

I know the FFA tried to do something similar from a few years ago, thoughts???

Not to mention Clairefontaine in France.

I think it is a good idea, Barca. The closest we have ATM is the AIS. The debate would be whether to centralise it in Canberra, Sydney or Melbourne.

Ironically I was in Burton on Trent a few months ago - we weren't sure where we were!
