The club have released a number of video clips of the players in pre-season training over the past couple of days.
The Twitter feed has been using the club’s brand new name for the training centre in its tweets:

Verdict:
It’s a small thing but for most the training ground will still be Wast Hills, and much like St Andrew’s, nobody outside official club communications will use the sponsor’s name anyway.
It’s good to see the players getting into shape during pre-season though. We don’t have that long to wait for the first friendly either which will be in two weeks’ time.
The squad will fly out for a nine-day training camp in Austria where they will play Russian side Akhmat Grozny on Thursday, July 12th before facing German club SSV Helm in Munich a couple of days later.
