I think you are right there , a teams season will not be defined by a week of training in the sunshine.

Does anybody actually know where the club are going for their training camp, i know other clubs have used army training camps before.

This was not a spur of the moment thing like the cancelled trip of another team last year and it was not taken for financial savings. I suspect that the cost in the UK would be the same if not more then abroad. In these hard times it is more exceptable for the team to be seen training in the UK then out in the sun of Portugal.

Who cares where they train as long as it produces results next season.

Spot on.

Didnt Agar also say that the training camp was going to be army style with also maybe a couple of 2 or 3 day breaks still in the UK too? (all good for teambuilding)

I totally agree why train on a good pitch in nice warm conditions. because lets face it. Come round one. We could be playing a soddend pitch with snow coming down.

Guess it depends what kind of indoor facilities exist in the UK to nail the ball work if the weather outside is unhelpful.

The only concern really is the kicking game, everything else can be done inside, but it will make a change for our lot to actually see a ball in pre-season.

Depends on the size of facility. To run though back to back plays etc they would need a half pitch facility at least. I'd hope we dont just run through 1 play at a time, would expect them to work on continuity through plays.

Yeah, but somewhere the size of David Lloyd or Cannons (in the tennis bit) would be big enough for that.

Thats exactly my point. If we have those kind of facilities thats fine. Just dont know what we use.

Loads of space at the Gordon St gym!!!!
