Pre-season training in Jamaica

[Jangle]

We have the Trelawny stadium that can be utilised plus the teams can be bussed to the national stadium. The JFF must lead the way with the help of the others that you mentioned.

And which team will these european professional overseas team play against?

Do you think It will be a financially viable venture for the Europena and the JFF?

What about football field?

A bit unfair, I dont think it is up to the JFF alone but the government and private entities that should get involved to make it happen.

I know of a fact in the past there was some move to get New castle and Darby here for preseason but it broke down at the last minute and one of the big things were that there were no decent fields in western jamaica for them to train and have pre-season games.

I know of one plan that i dont even want to get into where certain teams could make western jamaica their pre-season home but that would include other real estate investments- if you get my drift.

I know the talks started but the global financial meltdown aslo helped to end those talks near to the begining.

Every summer we see clubs in the top European leagues journey to far away lands for their pre-season training and to promote and expand their fan base. Manchester United is in Asia while Barcelona heads to the USA. I think it is about time that the JFF, who is responsible for football in Jamaica, takes the necessary steps to bringing some of these teams to Jamaica. If we can bring the biggest names in entertainment to our shores, why can't we do the same for football. It seems that there is a vacuum of ideas and leaders in Jamaica's football. Captain Burrell seems to be heading back down the same road that he was on before he got voted out of power. Personally, I was expecting more from the Captain the second time around.
