Have we ever seen any pics from the 'new Squires Gate'?

We always used to get a pre-season look at Squires Gate but I've not seen anything on the 'improved' training facilities. Has there ever been a link or any pics to it? Just wondering what our new players are returning to (clearly a damn site better that what they used to experience!)

Its certainly a lot better since we did the initial clean up , they have put gates up to stop easy access because fly tipping was a problem.
The entrance has signs up and the walls have been painted , a look around the ground it looks very tidy.
The two old portacabins have been removed ( they were an absolute disgrace ) .
A new type of Poracabin has replaced them far more suitable for the needs .
Yes if Lee has time you will notice the difference .
That's what being in the volunteers group has given us an insight into how bad things were,
But that's all in the past now after 30 years football has come home, UTMP

Sorry just realised it was about the training facility and not the Tory stronghold with a bit of Farage thrown in.

I'm surprised the residents haven't had it flattened and built a Waitrose on it, because Morrisons has become a bit too working class for them.
 
Do they even allow volunteers in? In a way, I've always thought the training ground should be the players home and therefore no access to fans but I think it'd be interesting to see where they train these days and how these facilities came together.

No I looked from the perimeter

They have improved whats there massively I believe and you always got to see some shots on many inside training videos if you wish to see.

Here is but 1

 
During the McMahon era, I quite often used to go and watch the lads train and aside from the actual facilities being shite and the wind occasionally being quite jarring (which I always thought was quite good practise for home games), I don't really see a problem with Squires Gate.
