Back in April the Club published its Environmental Plan, flying to Spain wouldn’t seem to fit in with the Club’s stated aim of reducing its carbon footprint.

Well, seeing as it was a commercial flight it would have flown whether we were on it or not. So it’s having the same environmental impact it would have had if we had stayed and trained at Harpers Park.

As a result of going to Spain, our 30 man group won’t be commuting to Home Park everyday for 5 days, thus reducing their carbon footprint.

So overall we’ve probably reduced our carbon footprint which I’m sure you’ll be bloody chuffed about and give a big well done to all involved

In recent years the club have usually arranged a pre-season trip abroad during the summer, even during the Covid era a trip was organised to Scotland.
When Derek Adams was manager the squad even when to Spain in midwinter in February for two seasons.

It's a break away from the norm with no distractions.

Great camaraderie for the whole squad. Something very noticeable how together the whole squad seemed to be last season and how it was often commented upon on PASOTI.

Warm weather training is ideal preparation for the long season ahead. I’ve done it as an athlete, gone away to warmer climates for several weeks before the athletics season started. Works wonders. Came back as fit as a butchers dog.

Just isn’t the same doing it in the UK.

A lot of these clubs have more money than sense. I thought we didn't. If we were to spend money on flying would be better to do so flying up North for games or mid Winter warm weather training.

I'm not sure you are getting the point and reason for the trip. Again I will leave it to the professionals and qualified to make the judgement on what's best for the players, I'll also leave it up to the chairman/board to decide what the money is used for.

I get the point of warm weather training. But the weather is warm in the UK in July!

Not as warm (and reliably warm) as Marbella! Plus the camararedie and change of scenery.

Makes no sense to me at all. They go somewhere for warm weather training where its too hot to train. I thought that was the point of going.

Even Spanish footballers are not so silly as to train when the weather climaxes between 2-5pm BG.

Looks like fans will be allowed from what I’ve been told. Will be heading up there myself if any other greens in the area

Exactly. In fact TOO warm train in! Camaraderie is not available in the UK I assume.
