Desso Posted September 3, 2022 Report Share Posted September 3, 2022 Do the players and coaches etc. travel to away matches on the day of the match or go the day before and stay in a hotel overnight? Depends on distance I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought someone would say that, but perhaps there is a routine to allow time for training beforehand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the way fixture is relatively close to a local airport, like Sunderland or Boro then the club sometimes fly on the same day as it’s only about a 30 min flight and there’s not necessary to hold a training session. iirc the club have flown to East Midland airport when they played Forest or Derby. It’s potentially a long coach ride particularly on a Saturday with heavier traffic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s potentially a long coach ride particularly on a Saturday with heavier traffic. May be a 30 minute flight, but even with special arrangements it ain’t that quick going though airports! They’ve previously flown to Teeside Airport and, I believe, Robin Hood Airport, but don’t recall East Midland Airport, which is only about 120 miles away? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
