Apparently it's slang for going to Birmingham according to our resident tin-foil hat wearer Jack Griffin.
Bet it's some sort of Mormon fitness test.

Having watched it again, it's an embarrassment at how early fleck ducked out. Not sure who wins it (Garner?), but it does seems as though the 'kids' lasted the longest in general.

Was Baker there??:thinking about:
He wasn't in the Yo-YO he was doing a different thing.

No it was Billy Daniels
We're going to be lucky he's in the mix this year .
I anticipate good work from this Maturing talented Sky blue in the season ahead.

Being the last doesn't mean they are really fit just means the other 6 members of the CCFC squad were knackered

Or it means that they're fitter than their team mates.....the fact fleck cried off so early is a worry...

I wouldn't read to much into it anyway as kev Thornton used to win the bleep test regularly

Thornton didn't have fitness problems, he just lacked pace and was unmotivated. Fleck struggled fitness wise last season, so for me it is worry that he's come back as the most unfit player

As a former PTI (many years ago) I find this pathetic, disparaging, insulting, not team building in any way, quite the opposite. Just look at the interest of the players for this exercise? I fail to see what this achieves especially given it takes place in a humid gym without enough air circulation.
I fear for the team spirit and squad if this is the sort of level we will be training at?

I imagine its just part of the initial pre season checks to see what fitness levels are in order to fine tune the pre season programme.

SP was heard to say " The lads did a fantastic job. Early doors we covered every inch of the ground. We did tire towards the end. The surface was a bit too hard for our normal game and this had a big effect on the result. Overall I saw great potential and if we play as we did for the first 10 mins we should be ok".

You find it pathetic that they are checking the teams base fitness? This isn't for building fitness or building up team spirit it's for seeing how the players fitness improves over pre season. They won't be training in the hall everyday.
Thanks for posting this - first time I've seen the City train since the early 1960s when we used to go around to the GEC grounds at Copsewood to watch Jimmy Hill's training sessions with the likes of George Hudson & co. They actually welcomed people. Often there were hundreds of us kids. Where was this filmed? Warwick?
Don't imagine 'The Hud' did very well in Yo Yo tests either!

I had to do the same test after my heart attack 5 years ago, and I'll bet I lasted longer than Fleck

It's for checking Cardio Vascular response. My son is a Sergeant and PTI in the Army and does these checks on a regular basis
What do you think it's going to be like in Brazil for the England squad(If we get there)....exactly the same conditions.

Fleck is a worry, going the same way as Kevin Thornton!

Well done to Billy Daniels and Connor Thomas. As for Fleck, if that was his performance after doing extra training all summer, Pressley must be wondering whether Fleck should be joining his 8 'unwanted' colleagues.

Why would Pressley want to get right of one of our best players who he has publicly praised indivdually?

Let's get some perspective here. It's a little test to see how the players have looked after themselves during their holidays. Maybe fleck has felt a twinge or something. No point in over doing it at this stage. Maybe he's been professional in pulling out. Lets judge fleck and every other player once the season starts, not on day one into pre season

you all realise that the video has had bits cut out? i know Fleck was the first to finish but i bet not many people on here could even get to that standard?! yeah i know im going to get........well im not a pro footballer they should be fit all the time!! why should they?
im sure we had a thread on this last year but was called a bleep test, which half fit person should be getting around 9/9.5
