Micky Mellon manager

Today will be our 16th session. To put that into perspective, at this time last year we had done 2!!!! The attitude has been first class and spirit in the camp fantastic!! We are still doing  3 sessions a day at the moment. The long running that was getting done at 7am in the morning has come to an end today. Most work is now getting done on the football pitch, We will hopefully see some of you at our first game at Lancaster City next Saturday.

Best wishes, Micky

It's been a very impressive stay so far. From what I've seen of the sessions we have some great additions to the squad. The facilities are up there with the best. The lads had a bit of R&R yesterday, with a trip up the mountain and they watched Mlada Boroslav v Apoel Nicosia in a friendly which took place on the complex last night. They're getting another three sessions in today, just finished the early run, before tomorrow's friendly over in Zell-am-See, which will be a good run out.

Austria has been brilliant upto now, we look like we have a really good squad and everyone is getting on.

The facilities and training has been superb and we are all feeling the benefits already, apart from being the stiffest man in the world right now.

Its now Friday and for the first time we didnt do our 7am run -
which is 6am back home ha ha. But what a lovely view from the running track eh Grandy?

We played 3x 30 min games today and everyone looked sharp for the first 4 mins ha ha. No, it was really good and we have some great additions to the squad.

Some lads are missing home (oh maybe just the sight of a female) but only 4 days to go and I'm sure plenty more running to come. But it has been great upto now, hopefully we will put in a good performance on Sunday against the highly rated opposition.

Over and out.

A later start today with no run before breakfast today. Basically, we had a stretching session at 10am and warm-up. We then played three half hour games.  Hard work in the heat but we made sure plenty of fluid was taken on board.

Just had lunch and this afternoon it a up to the mountain in a cable car. There'a cafe at the top and I looking forward to it even though I'm not the best with heights.

Danny Moore physio

Well the morning session is about to start after another 4 mile run before breakfast. All the lads have been working really hard and will definatley feel the benifits. There has not been any injuries so far, but lots of the lads are suffering with blisters and tired muscles which is to be expected during preseason training.

All the lads are getting on well. New players have been made welcome. It's been three sessions a day and all have benn very hard. All the hard work is going in the bank for start of the season.

The place is beautiful, good scenary and great facilities. It would be ideal if not for all the hard work. Saying that, we do have some free time in the evening to take a look around.
