Low teens at the moment, our little snufflekins can't be expected to run around if those temperatures, they need something warmer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivorguy Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 Personally, after Friday's woeful performance, I would have informed them: Sorry chaps, forget Dubai it's plan B, we're off to Iceland. Probably need to explain that's the country not the supermarket oh I don't know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's shown as being between 24 and 37 C ! Plenty warm enough . They could profit from high altitude training on Mount Tiède. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the sea, sand and slavery at just a fraction of the cost. I think the slot machines at Alexandra Gardens would be a bit too much temptation.

He's the only one I've seen post on Insta this week and it was him in the gym doing leg weights. Still must be some way away from a return though.

Usually on these pre-season tours there's plenty of media stuff and the Bristol City social media pages will post clips of the training. The players will post stories too of them messing around in down time. I had a look this morning and most of the players have been very quiet on their Instagram (usually they're pretty prolific) so I reckon my theory about a social media ban might be true. I reckon they're working hard in a focused environment. @Davefevs re: our discussion about LJ being influenced by Pep, maybe he's been influenced with this idea! I think it'll be a week of pretty hard work, with main focus being on tactics. Will be very beneficial to Diony and also Diedhiou for getting him up to speed.

I was thinking that we probably have 40 people there in total (20 - 25 players. 3 management team, coaches and physios), assuming 5 nights FB and good class flights for them all and use of the training facilities, that's approximately £2.5k a head. Seems pretty reasonable to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems pretty reasonable to me. I reckon it's not that many of the players. None of the injured one seem to have gone - could be closer to 18. Would be surprised if we didn't fly economy class, it's not that far. But perhaps you're right, when you break it down like that not too bad. I didn't factor in the flights!

I quite often go there for work and last year was based there with a team of 5 for 15 nights. We spent over £40k in total. I thought they'd spend even more than that if they've got a team of 30 out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
