Liverpool plan on getting back former training ground despite shift to AXA training centre

Liverpool plan on getting back Melwood Training Ground

The Reds’ former training ground Melwood could potentially return back to Liverpool Football Club. It was in our possession until from the 1950s to November 2020, when we shifted to the AXA Training Centre.

The Athletic via ECHO are reporting that Liverpool are on the brink of buying back Melwood training ground for the women’s team. They had previously hinted at the possibility of Liverpool considering an offer for their former first team’s training ground back in January.

Just under three years ago, Liverpool made a move to a state-of-the-art £50 million training facility in Kirkby. However, with the resurgence of Matt Beard’s women’s team, the club now requires a new home for their thriving side. The Women’s Team currently train at Tranmere’s Solar Campus in Wallasey, Wirral.

In 2019, housing developer Torus stepped in and acquired Melwood for approximately £10 million. Initially, there were plans to transform the site into a residential development. However, recent indications suggest that those plans have been abandoned.

Melwood return for the Reds

The potential repurchase of Melwood training ground demonstrates Liverpool’s commitment to developing their women’s team and providing them with top-notch facilities. The move would allow the women’s side to have a dedicated training space tailored to their needs and aspirations.

Melwood holds a special place in Liverpool’s history, having served as the training base for the men’s team for many years.

If the deal goes through, it would bring a sense of nostalgia and continuity to the women’s team, creating a shared connection between the past and the future of the club.

The potential redevelopment of Melwood into a dedicated facility for the women’s team would not only enhance their training environment but also strengthen the overall infrastructure of the club.
