Clayton Wood Training Ground
Clayton Wood is the training ground and academy of EFL Championship club Stoke City.[1]
Development
In January 2009, Stoke City unveiled plans to redevelop their training ground at an initial cost of £5 million.[2] Stoke City were given planning permission by the Stoke-on-Trent City Council to construct the facility in May 2009; Stoke had previously been renting the site from the Michelin Tyre company.[3] The facility was designed by AFL architects who had previously designed Chelsea's Cobham Training Centre and Everton's Finch Farm.[4] The centre was built in time for the start of the 2010–11 season.[1]
In April 2012, Stoke announced £6 million expansions plans in order to meet the category one criteria in the Elite Player Performance Plan.[5] In November 2015, further plans were announced to expand the facility.[6] In summer of 2024 plans were unveiled for a £10 million improvement to Clayton Wood.[7]
