Plans expected shortly regarding the new training ground
Latics boss Roberto Martinez has revealed that the club are expecting to receive the necessary paperwork for the new training ground before works commence. Martinez has been a fierce advocate of the benefits the new facilities will offer the club as a whole and held back some of the funds received from the sale of Charles N'Zogbia to fund the development. The Latics have suffered some time delays over recent months with regards to the scale of the planning application, but work is set to commence in the next few weeks with a completion date between six to eight months. Speaking about the improvements, Martinez said: "We have had a bit of a setback in terms of the timescale we expected but we are well on with what we want to do. "We are close to finalising the paperwork with the training ground. It is going to take between six and eight months to get the new buildings. "We are really excited. The training ground is an important part of the football club and it is going to be a big part of the legacy of Wigan Athletic."
