View from the Dolman Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 Bristol City will be heading for a pre-season training camp in Spain’s famous La Manga Club resort ahead of the 2016/17 campaign. Lee Johnson will take his charges to the award-winning Murcian resort between July 18th and 24th for some warm-weather training just a few weeks before the new season. As well as being put through their paces on the training pitch at La Manga Club, the City players will also have the chance to gain some further match practice with a pre-season friendly scheduled during the camp on July 21st, with the opposition to be confirmed. “La Manga comes very highly recommended to me,” said head coach Johnson. “It’s everything the players will need. There will be good pitches, excellent sports and conditioning facilities and we just have to find ourselves a decent game whilst we’re out there now.” More at http://www.bristol-sport.co.uk/news/city-book-up-spain-training-camp/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeh it does look a little bit like they've booked a golf holiday and then someone's said "We should probably play a game of football to justify this". Johnson's then gone "Ah don't worry about it. We'll just head down the park with a ball and there'll be some lads who fancy a game." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's sad to hear they are now awful, I lived in Torrevieja for 4 years from 2006 until early 2010 and went to watch them a lot as well and they were not too bad then. I thought they were having a new stadium built opposite the old one, so did that happen? They also had a lot of problems with the main sponsor a building company who owed them a lot of money at the time and the Torry Army took the club over, I believe. It's a shame, because I saw some good games there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a shame, because I saw some good games there. Yea, the building company went bust and owed not just the club but money all over the place. The supporters still run it but went through last season without a main sponsor. They are still at the same ground and have all sorts of money problems. They finished mid table but really are quite poor on and off the pitch. Shame as its a good little set up and quite a good laugh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EstoniaTallinnRed Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 That Building company were real crooks, I heard. Yes it was a laugh and some of the ex pats in the Torry Army were very into it and probably still are. So where is your place there? I used to live in La Siesta.

supercidered Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 We used to laugh at some of the players as well, bless them. I'm fairly close to La Siesta. In between La Zenia and Cabo Roig. Great place and great people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
