Reading Chris Beech’s interview, it’s quite concerning that we’re struggling for places to train at the moment. The training pitch at BP is really heavy as it always is this time of year (gets like a soaked sponge if you’ve been on it in November/December time!) but the alternative training venues they usually use like Penrith and Harraby are all closed. The team trained at Aston Villa yesterday on the way down but sounds like we haven’t been able to do much other than that.

Not great considering if anything the training pitch will get worse not better over the coming weeks. I wonder if it’s about time the club look into sorting out a permanent training base for us as clearly the BP training pitch is only suitable for the summer months. They are professional players, they need to train during the week!
