[Albion] Open training day at the Amex

[RandyWanger]

Nah - it is the opposite of Quantum physics. If it is being observed, it won't happen. Only when it is happening behind closed doors do the players collapse to their state of injured.

The double slit, my favourite experiment.

Anyone else here can help me with the youngsters training with the first team?

Tasker, Knight, Howell, Mills I think - who are the others?

 

[Chicken Run]

Are the players ACTUALLY there or are they ABBA style hologram thingies?

Yep the real players are probably in Dubai for a few days

Imagine Simmonds is probably there

A great opportunity to watch the 'process' ...through binoculars.

Superb trolling from Fab and the lads

Should’ve had them doing stretches for an hour

Was going to take the kids but when they said no player interactions or signings I didn’t bother as that takes a bit of the magic away from these things. As ever rather than just deal with the problem traders the club seem to take a blanket approach which ruins it for the kids who just want to meet their heroes. There is so much the club get right but this is something I think they should revisit

 

[Is it PotG?]

Seems a shame that the piss taking, eBay bound autographed goods harvesters have diluted the experience for the majority.

Yeah I think he was but difficult to make out for sure from high up in the west!

Without the player interactions/signings for the kids I'd imagine it's about as interesting as the pre-match warm-up routine except without the groovy soundtrack

If they don't make it as footballers they can always start an Estate Agency.

Is that open to all as event was specifically advertised as no selfies or signings?

No clue but would guess they picked kids for it at random

According to this, the actual mens training wasn't due to start until a couple of hours after this photo was taken.

Its not like the old days, in a sports hall at the Triangle in Burgess Hill! the kids got to get up close to ALL the superstars back then...

AND there was face-painting, a bouncy castle, Albion cup cakes - and for the Dads - Gully's Girls in little Santa outfits...

So you're telling me someone on the internet has posted something misleading for dramatic effect?! I am shocked!

This was the women's team training. Making it even stranger, seeing as there is normally much closer interaction between players and fans
