With the squad about to fly to the USA, I often feel that we would be better to have pre season in this country. I know there is the commercial side to it but surely all that travelling must have an effect on the players when the season starts.
I reckon we'll have some great entertainment on CTV, which will be nice in what is seeming to be a long close season! If we were over here I cant imagine what kind of interesting pre season stuff we could do! As for the players , they are all young and fit so I dont think the journeying will take too much out of them!
I don't think it is that bad... they travel in style so although it may be a bit tiring it can't be too bad! We do have the pre season at Brighton where we sold 3700 tickets which is a good turnout.
