One option could be to partner with Millfield School, develop their Kingweston pitches. Build indoor training facilities, sports hall and a gym large enough for a team, plus whatever else they need.
It’s the kind of place that most people wouldn’t know how to find too, so it’s away from any prying eyes.
Wouldn’t be any opposition goalkeepers turning up to play being able to predict how penalties could be taken then.
Or they’ve already got a Sports Hall… but if YTFC require a purpose built facility with everything in the same place, that’s what they could do.
