The installation forms part of a six-figure scheme of upgrade works at Ryton Training Ground, where the Championship club has trained since the early 1960s. The ground’s two pitches and warm-up areas have also been totally reconstructed for the 2023/24 season, as new Executive Chairman and Owner Doug King seeks to improve the working environment for the Sky Blues players and staff.
