    Does anyone have any examples of exclusive sports complexes or “centres of excellence” that i need precedents for. So far in Ireland all i can think of is Breaffy House in Mayo. Any international egs would be appreciated 🙂

    On the international stage “Aspire” in Dubai springs to mind.

    What do you mean by ‘exclusive sports complexes’, tungstentee? There are fancy sports centres around the country, but I think you want something more specific, yes?
    Most big US universities would have sports facilities that’d put Irish ‘centres of excellence’ to shame (not least in the spelling / grammar department).

    Number agreement seems not to be their strong points.

    There’s the cryotherapy / ice chambers in Spala in Poland (favoured by the Irish Rugby Squad – bless), and I’ve just seen that White’s Hotel in Wexford Town has Europe’s only other cryotherapy centre, modelled on the Spala facility and opened about 6 months ago. But wouldn’t you know it, they couldn’t just call it ‘The White’s Hotel Sports and Cryotherapy Centre’- it’s been christened ‘The Tranquillity Spa’. Nice. :rolleyes:

    The National Sports Centre is at UL … compares pretty well with others internationally from what i’ve heard.

    Clarefontaine in France is a centre of excellence for soccer players, there was one in England too but that’s been closed down.
