[Albion] Albion cancel Dubai warm weather trip

Bozza · Jan 19, 2020

Gutted for the players who were looking all set for a jolly to Dubai, but are now going to have to rough it in Europe somewhere instead...

"Brighton will head to Europe for a warm weather training camp next month and not Dubai, the PA news agency understands.

The Seagulls squad were set to visit Dubai with the club not having a Premier League fixture on the weekend of February 14-16.

But they have now changed what were provisional plans to head to the Middle East for a trip to Europe instead as a precautionary measure."

Good, Dubai is the tool of the devil, a week in Italy or Portugal is a much better idea.

I'd probably rather go to southern Europe too. Good food and drink, mild weather, culture.

But then I'm not a twenty something footballer who had to sacrifice education and further learning to follow their dream (and the money).

Do these winter trips away really work? I’m sure the players went to Spain last season and it made no difference to our league form.

Reward for miserable display re sheffield wednesday...

A spell on the muddy playing fields of Sussex Uni might be more beneficial for the upcoming dogfight IMHO. They can ponce about in the sun in the Summer like the rest of us.

Nice bit of team bonding. Wonder if in the night Potter will get the players to swap rooms on different levels with different room mates.

except 90% of us don't get 8 weeks summer holiday. and £1m in the bank for underachieving. :annoyed:

This, maybe a week at CTCRM Lympstone would sort them out!

Nothing to do with losing to SW - was planned for the 'winter break' gap, between the Watford and West Ham games.

Mail piece on the same story, suggesting that there were fears that our shirt sponsor, and Jewish ownership, could make us a specific target for jihadis.

Is Portugal actually that warm at this time of the year?

Had the Mail done any proper research, they would have realised that Amex have a pretty decent presence in UAE, and have done for years :facepalm:

I hope they haven't planned to go to Alicante. All flights were cancelled yesterday due to heavy snow.

I see a flaw in your premise

Just as well the Albion groundstaff aren't in charge of Alicante airport, else they'd have switched on the snow making machine yesterday :dunce:

Thought I read somewhere they’re going to Tenerife instead.
