This is great: training today

Interesting, we definitely seem to be using Theo right wing!

I am sure I caught a glimpse of the Weymouth coach lurking in the bushes.

Lurking...? Didn't we already establish that that would most likely be Harry!?

Well at least we should have a very fit squad for the start of the season. They'll be doing double training sessions for the 5 days spent in Weymouth.

Either that or we'll end up starting the season with 9 long term injuries and a decimated squad but we all know that'll never happen.........................

He was sleeping in the bushes.

Hiding amongst the "training facility" that's still to be assembled.

How many of us here have an unfinished DIY job or ten hanging over us?

I'm told the ship may have sailed with the Becks soccer tent....leaving it in it's wrapping too long was not the best idea.

I would think most of us have unfinished DIY projects. But not to the cost (£2m?) of the Indoor Soccerome that was purchased over 4 years ago and still lies unassembled at the training ground.

Looked good, but I couldn't see the manatee that KB was referring to.....?


Must be something dugong with my eyes....

Scrap value has probably gone up.

I always find it very difficult to tell the difference between a Manatee and a Dugong @Barling Magna . Is the answer at Boots and Laces I wonder?

The Dome cost £500,000, but the cost to erect it was estimated at £2Million. That's where the problem lies. The cost to erect it was estimated the end of 2014. Would be even more now, and I should imagine some of the covering might need replacing having sat there all that time. The metal frame is probably fine.

I was told a lower figure than that. Apparently Ron put in a cheeky offer that was accepted. Obviously he expected it to be used quicker than it will be.
