Nationwide Building Society: Brooking hopeful on new soccer centre

(PRLEAP.COM) Speaking at an event organised by England Team Sponsors Nationwide Building Society, Sir Trevor Brooking revealed that the FA are to hold important meetings next month to discuss the opening of the new National Football Centre in Burton.

The FA’s director of football development is still hopeful the centre will be open in 2010 and he thinks it will have a major impact on the English game.

Sir Trevor said: "We had a debate on it last week because during the summer we had tournaments going on and we wanted to touch base on it and see where we are at."

"We are hoping to have a technical meeting next month where we pin down exactly what the cycle of the year will look like. If there are any planning changes we need to get them in sooner rather than later."

"The original schedule was about 24 months so you are looking at the latter part of 2010. If we are going to hit that we need to move quickly. Hopefully we will get the support from the local planners and we will not get a delay on when we can start."
