St Johnstone in danger of losing training ground after CPO placed on land

St Johnstone are in danger of losing their training ground after Perth and Kinross Council place a compulsory purchase order on the land.

St Johnstone are in danger of losing their training ground after it was revealed that the local council plan to use the land for a new road.

Perth and Kinross Council voted in favour of a compulsory purchase order on the training ground, which has only been open for a year.

"It would be a huge blow to the club to lose them," manager Tommy Wright told BBC Sport.

"We have got the first-team back training in the city and I believe that's important for the club's identity. The council saw last year when we won the Scottish Cup how much St Johnstone means to the people of Perth. That day proved the club is one of the main institutions in the city.

"So it's incredible to think they could go through with this when they have other options available to them."

St Johnstone trained at Stirling University, 30 miles from Perth, before the development of the new training ground.
