shame, but it was apparent radford didn't really want the game anyway, so probably a good result all round

What 18-30 holiday ? I thought the warm weather training had been cancelled ?

Ours has. They're going to Florida or Portugal.

Have your prices been advertised for the Derby friendly yet? Can't find anything on the Rovers website.

Not seen anything. I would expect £18 for adults though.

I don't think they are

Why not? The Mail reported there would be a warm weather camp, initially Portugal, then reporting Jamie Peacock's advocacy of the USA as a venue. "A trip to Florida would be a statement of intent by the Robins in terms of their investment into the new campaign." said Gareth Westmorland. Doubt they would back track from that.

looks like they already have back tracked on it

"There'll be no warm-weather trips to Cyprus or Florida, that's for sure", said Chris Chester (via Gareth Westmorland )

I wouldn't be happy if I was a Rovers fan, they have just had 2 weeks off and now their intense training time is spent split up and gardening at a hospice (which is a great cause BTW).

I'd missed that. Are we doing all this season's pre-season in Hull then?

Peacock will have Chester out by Easter .
He has already questioned a lot of his training methods as not good enough .

A good activity to do, but maybe one more associated with early pre season. That said Chester's delighted with their pre season so maybe they've peaked already and are tapering. I wonder what happened to the USA feasibility proposal? Finding their own food without money? Either Bear Grylls' method or a rummage in the bins behind KFC then.
