 SYNTHETIC SURFACE PITCHESThis has been a fantastic addition to the footballing side of things at Melwood. It's called our indoor/outdoor area for obvious reasons, but the quality of this Astroturf is fantastic. People will remember the Astroturf at TRAINING PITCHES The ground staff at Melwood have worked extremely hard and over the years the pitches have got better and better. The board of directors must be congratulated for giving us this building, but they've helped us to have the best training pitches in the country and if you've got the best players then you need the best training pitches to play on. It's cut and watered every day so the lads get great enjoyment out of being able to pass the ball as well as they can. It's all floodlit because we don't just train here of a morning time. In the winter it gets dark early so the lights will be used then. GYMNASIUM The gym is very large and is five times bigger than the one we had at the old Melwood. More players are using it either before or after training nowadays, they'll do a little bit of work on the bikes, runners and the weights and they'll be in here again after training.
We also have a hypoxic chamber. It's used mainly for the rehabilitation because in there it's like training at altitude and it helps the players to make a quicker recovery. They can be working in there on one of the machines for 20 minutes and, because the air is a lot thinner, it can feel as though they've been working in there for about 40 minutes. |
