Re: Reading offer Bearwood training ground to Wycombe
I fear you may be right that the usual rules of business don't apply with Dai Yongge, though in normal circumstances where an absentee owner wants to rid himself of a football club, administration would usually be the route they'd go down.
Hopefully Reading and football as a whole will be rid of him sooner rather than later.

Re: New training ground?
It will be many many years before an aircraft uses the new runway if indeed it ever happens which in truth I strongly doubt. Not a factor in where to train for many years.
Construction traffic, noise and pollution may be a factor but even that will at least be a good time off.

The Lamb is the Lamb of St. Wilfrid who is the Patron Saint of Preston. The letters "P.P." are taken to mean "Princeps Pacis" - Prince of Peace, or as some people would like it to be, "Proud Preston". However, on earlier Coats-of-Arms the Lamb was standing and three letters "P" were depicted on it.
