Are you allowed in to go and watch training?

I went a few times - many years ago - and was wondering if it's permitted these days

if so I'll pop along one day this week as I'm not at work

  • doubt you'd be allowed in but think you can watch from a public footpath that runs alongside the pitches.
  • It wouldnt be worth it if they did let you. The strict secrecy policy that now surrounds the club dictates that all players must train in a burka. You'll be none the wiser about players still at the club.
  • Yeah I went down with my nephew last season and watched from the footpath, they do a lot right in front of you, I reckon they might let u go in, not sure
  • Take your boots, you never know. . . .
  • Not sure if you can now, I used to take my son years ago when he was young. We'd watch the training and afterwards he would get some autographs as the players left. That was one of the things I loved about the club, its friendliness. The club physio at the time, Jimmy Hendry, even made time to check my other son over, when he was suffering a recurring injury while playing for his youth team. How many clubs would do that ?
  • We have a Premiership standard training ground with all the ramifications and responsibilities that go with it.
    Naturaly when we were in The Prem we had pretty tight security at Sparrows Lane which simply isn't such an issue now. I wonder how much that will now be scaled back?

    It was one thing to have tight security for players with the value of Scott Parker and Darren Bent, etc.

    But perhaps no one's expecting Deon Burton and Kelly Youga to be abducted and held for ransom?

    ;o)

    On the other hand whoever kidnaps them might offer us money to take them back:-)
