Louis Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 I made this myself with my elite photoshop skills. If you want to see it in google earth the post code is L26 3UE. The full address of the academy is most likely going to be. Everton Academy Finch Lane Halewood Knowsley L26 3UE Apparently the FA threatened to remove the 'academy' status as the facilities were not upto scratch at Bellefield. This new academy is going to be so much better than the one in Netherton which only had one grass pitch which is not allowed to be trained on because it's used for matches - the players trained on astro turf.

StevO Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 good work mate. but i dont really get why its called the academy, its for the first team too, so it does comfuse a little Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Posted February 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 The definition of academy is "an institution for the advancement of art or science or literature". Think on to Steve Bloomer's comments.. The academy should be called the "school of science" imo.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louis Posted February 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 The new complex includes 10 full-size grass pitches, one of which will be floodlit along with an additional floodlit synthetic pitch and specialist training areas for fitness work and goalkeepers. Inside the training complex there will be extensive changing facilities for both the senior squad and the Academy players. It will include the following facilties: Gym Synthetic indoor training pitch Hydratherapy pools Spa Sauna Physiotherapy rooms Media centre Video lounges including a video editing suite. The state-of-the-art facilities on offer will make Everton a big draw for future signings and will also provide a boost in the development of the Club's Academy players.

Romey 1878 Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 Im really excited over this tbh, imagine the quality of youth player we'll be able to attract to the club when they see those facilities? It won't do us any harm if we get a new stadium to go with it aswell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevO Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 i agree mark - at the moment i think we are a decent prospect, but Goodison and belefield are not exactly pleasing to the eye. but with finch farm and maybe a new stadium then we do look a "higher quality" so to speak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluetrip Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 Considering this is due to open in about 5 weeks, I'm suprised there isn't any propper photo's going round yet. If anyone anyone find any please post them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercedes Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 Considering this is due to open in about 5 weeks, I'm suprised there isn't any propper photo's going round yet. If anyone anyone find any please post them. No one is allowed to take photos in the Academy grounds for security reasons. You will find some photos on the Everton webs though.

dark Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 Your not allowed to take photo's for security reasons and they dont really want people wandering round flashing cameras. The only time you can get a photo is if you ask one of the coach's, or just get a team photo. I haven't been to the Academy since February 2007, anyone know what happened to that massive mound of mud at the entrance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Posted February 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 was that the one that Moyes had installed as it was similar to what NFL teams use to strengthen legs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 No, they used that behind the astro-turf pitches, that was completed around about January 2008 and is used for that purpose, strengthening legs. The mound I mean is at the entrance next to the first football pitch, it was just a large hill that didn't look like anything was going to happen to it. Maybe they turned it into something magical Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevO Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 or maybe it was part of the building supplies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
