Re: Meet the Bulldogs this summer

as noted by a couple of other posters on the 2016 Training thread, this is completely different to last year where you could wander down to advertised sessions most days of the week. I suppose the Club wanted a lot of transparency with supporters after the turmoil of Shocktober.

While this season's pre-season arrangements are a bit disappointing, it is also intriguing. Why has Bevo gone all secret squirrel? What are they working on?

Further point: I don't mind that they appear to be starting a week later than a lot of clubs. It is a long season, I would hate for our guys to do the ol' excessive-preseason-and-run-out-of-gas-half-way-through-the-year routine.

Is that a moot point considering we trained a week later than the rest before xmas and I'm sure the players have a set period of leave that needs to be met.

Wasn't aware of that - hope we can hit a balance.
