The site masterplan drawing and the proposed floor layouts are worth taking a look at on the EDDC planning portal. Direct link here: https://planning.eastdevon.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=documents&keyVal=QKQ1XKGHIJ600

from the "Masterplan" assuming the 104 car parking spaces are more than whats needed for just a training ground & a pedestrian "access point" (& bridge?!) + cafe ... if this the sort of improvements that would need to take place to allow for spectators @ some academy games + ecfc women's?

That looks great, looks like the Watkins money is getting put to good use!

Not often you hear the words "State of the art facilities" when it comes to anything to do with ECFC, Perhaps this show any doubters that the club is doing its best to improve things. Like the OG, The "Hut" at the C&F is past its sell by date but i must admit these plans are way above anything i would have thought of. If this helps us to go up a Grade in Acadamy terms then brilliant. Hope the Council sees sense and approve it.

Can't believe the hut is still there - remember back in the 90s I had to pick up my coat after leaving it at an ECFC soccer school - was told it was up at C&F, Eamo gave it back to me - then got introduced to most of the squad half of whom were showering 
Bit weird, but it was the mid 90s.

Great investment, money spent on the youth is money in the bank.

Interesting that in the Devon Live story it mentions accommodation.

Not 100% but i think they mean to "accommodate" the 1st team and Acadamy in terms people not sleeping over but to house more people like in the Gym,Classroom etc insted of having to take turns or wait?
