    Default I need info!

    1) What time do the players tend to turn up at the stadium prior to kick off on a match day? (I need a shirt to be signed by Mensah)

    2) Can you still get in to see the lads train these days or did Bruce stop all of that?

    Cheers

    Fairly sure you no longer can get in to see them train.

    Not sure about time before the game as normally in the pub

    I think it used to be about 1.30/45 not sure now though. Don't think you can get into see the lads train anymore either which on a whole is a good think as anybody could just walk in and out like scouts etc.

    They arrive at the stadium about 1:20ish, and you can't watch them train unless you wait for them to come out of the AOL once finished? I need my Ghana top signed also :(

    watching the training was a very useful tool to bring the players closer to the fans (and visa versa) and far outweighed any risk of scouts seeing our players.

    there may have been insurance issues but surely they could have been overcome.

    if a scout wants to see a player they will see him when he plays, which after all is the only relevant time - remember how good daryl murphy was in training ?

    if we want to be different to other clubs and create a better bond between player and fan then we should reinstate this by noon today ! i.e. immediately.

    didnt know you cant watch them train like. when did that come in? and which idiot thought of it? wasnt there a tunnel at the AOL you could walk through and stand watching them train? ive never been to the AOL but used to go over the charlie hurley as a youngun when the schools were off (and sometimes when they were still on) and watch them train, then they would come over for photo's and whatnot for 5 minutes at the end. they always seemed git massive and god-like when you got close to them.

    defo a good thing for fan/player relations

    Glad i looked on this post, didnt know you couldnt see them train anymore...good craic that was, especially havin photo with cisse afterwards...man of many words (not!!)

    The players can come in anytime from 12 - 1.30 me thinks.

    Once went for dressing room tour from hospitality suite and loads were in at 12.20 just getting grub down them n watching sky sports in dressing room, however, couple of seasons ago at that time there was noone in.
