I prefer installing trees myself, as they're easier to upgrade.
Planting is old school.

Looking really nice so far. So will it be ready for pre-season this summer?

As it's "open space" in planning terms, I doubt that it would get planning consent for ny major residential or commercial development.
Also, I've read on more than one occasion that THFC don't actually own Spurs Lodge. Rumour is that it still belongs to Alan Sugar.

I'm curious regarding how they intend to irrigate the pitches. With drought conditions having just been officially declared as early as February, FFS, in London and most of the Southeast and East Anglia, we can expect to have restrictions on the use of hosepipes and sprinklers. The latter are especially inefficient and wasteful, as much of the irrigation water evaporates before it gets to the roots.
I wonder if they'll be installing a sub-surface "leaky hose" drip irrigation system to get around the problem and also storing rainwater from that great expanse of roof to use in irrigation. Both would be good ideas for the future, as droughts are becoming near-annual occurrences in the Southeast now.

It wouldn't surprise me. Environmental organisations like the RSPB have been building features like this into their visitor centres for some years now, partly as an example for architects.

Since when do you "install" trees? Trees are planted, for crying out loud :lol:
Or are trees "installed" by people who go to "spin" classes, and trees are planted by people who ride a bike and don't feel the need to invent new names at every given opportunity.

Rains in Summer aren't much use, because trees are in full growth and they basically drink it all before it can percolate down to the subsoil. Rains in Winter are what we need to avoid drought and this has been the second consecutive extremely dry Winter in succession in the Southeast and East Anglia.
Not a lot of people know this: London gets substantially less annual average rainfall (750mm) than New York (1150mm) or Atlanta (1270m) or Seattle (950mm).
Indeed they have. So have I. I have a 450 litre rainwater tank that collects from my entire roof. I use the contents to water my garden (which is 15m x 6m). But I run out of water at least 2-3 times every year, as often in Spring or Autumn as in Summer.

POTL on COYS...
This facility is going to be the best facility built in Europe to date.
It will give us the best chance of attracting the best youngsters in the world, to the best players on the planet. We will be able to rehab quicker than other clubs, and provide the best facilites that will be uncomparable to anywhere else. The place is absolutely unbelieveable, no expense has been spared here whatsoever. From the youth to the 1st team facilities, fantastic. The whole aspirational approach, from being a kid to working your way up and around the complex to the 1st team is top notch.
Anyone who gets the opportunity to see it will be impressed beyond belief- with this training ground, the new stadium on the way, the excellent financial situation situation the club is in, and the way it is run, not to mention the top players we already have at this club- within 5 years we could be one of the top clubs in the world.

Absolutely. I'm getting on Rob and A&C's case to have a new sub-forum devoted to this kind of stuff.
