Pre season (1 Viewer)

It's usually the start of July I think?

I hope they do a live stream of Jak Hickmans return.

anyone know when the players report back?

I hope they stick some lengthly videos of them training. I remember a few years back they but the running bleep - yo-yo rest up- Daniels and Connor Thomas were lasted the longest

Not sure who my money would be on in current squad

I'd back Mason.

Normally the last week in June, was later last year because of the play offs extending the season.

From looking at social media seems a few of them have hired their own coaches and are already getting ready for the season.

They're back in Tuesday next week, and the scholars back in on Thursday

You’d think the club would hire a summer coach for those that want it or something. Seems weird then hiring their own.

Guess its something that's filtered down from the Prem. Some of them may well be paid for by the club as some are training at Ryton.

Not back til thursday

Re: training - do the players actually train at times of the day that mirror match days? It might seem a trivial thing but if we're usually playing 3pm wouldn't it be even a slight advantage if the body is used to strenuous exercise at that time of day? If you train in the am and by mid afternoon are sat with your feet up playing computer games wouldn't your body expect strenuos exercise soon after waking up then relaxing? Just a thought.

Hope Willis turns up Thursday

Not likely if he isnt under contract from monday

Posted on the other thread for the training gear but they are back today

Hiwula looks pleased to be back

Uri Geller is at the back keeping him upright.

Just double checking Burge isn't in any of them.

Are some more due to report back tomorrow?

McFadzean looks a double hard bastard.

Looks like Ponticelli has been in the gym over the summer.

I remember Gary Deegan used to get called it and took his top off one game and was built like a tank.

He’s been having PT sessions. To be fair to him, he seems to be trying his best to grasp his chance in professional football, especially compared to, say, Hickman.

The kid is always road running on his own,as well as training full time. So let’s just give him a break.
And no I am not related.

I wasn’t having a go! If anything I was having a go at all the fans that call him fat. I find it a ridiculous accusation for a footballer.

I've heard people who have been on a night out with him who say the same. Didn't drink at all

How did he do that? I’m not even sure which part of his body was keeping him up.

Strap around ankle helps

Just looked at it again. Even if his ankles are held in place, it still seems pretty amazing.

Is this a player, new player to be announced maybe or a member of staff
