Lads Off To Dubai

Can someone explain to me what the point of warm weather training during the Winter is?

They’ll come back after the break in December, and it’ll be freezing. Would it not be better for them to stay here and train?

I think you're less likely to pick up injuries in warmer weather. It's also a good break from winter from a team bonding point of view

Aye they should be training every day on Whitburn cliff tops to get the full benefit of the sea breeze while being hosed down with freezing water every 10 minutes. It will get the Lads who are used to life in warmer climates properly sorted for life in the Championship next January & February.

Exactly. It's a piss up and team bonding break with an hours' worth of easy training done mid-morning.

I watched the lads train in Dubai when MoN and Allardyce took them to Dubai. They said they'd been out on the smash the whole time. (See avatar of my son climbing over a hungover Lee Cattermole :lol: during their last visit)
