Parts of the London Soccerdome at Southend United's training ground
THE former London Soccerdome has arrived at Southend United’s training ground, Echosport understands.
Blues’ chairman Ron Martin completed a £2million purchase of the indoor training venue, which had previously been in Greenwich as the David Beckham Academy, last month.
And it has now started to be delivered to the Shrimpers’ own Boots & Laces training base, in Eastern Avenue.
The arrival of the dome will enable Blues to push for category two status in youth team football.
The dome will also be used by the first team and was the biggest indoor training facility in the whole of Europe before it was taken down in November as part of redevelopment of the Greenwich Peninsula.
