Rams to extend training ground

The extension to Derby County Football Club’s Moor Farm training complex has been given the green light by the City Council.

The extension will include a new building with an indoor pitch, futsol pitch, changing rooms and café.

The new development will also see a link bridge between the existing indoor pitch building and the proposed building, plus 208 new car parking spaces.

Sam Rush, chief executive of Derby County, said: “The training centre will be constructed to the highest possible standards and will be a legacy for both the local community and for the football club.”
