Why do they use Holiday Inn for away games then and share rooms? Obviously the rooms will not be basic bed only but no need for super luxury suites, which they wont have.
Assume the sick players won’t be allowed to travel.
Off today, according to CH on R5.
Wouldn’t say where, but joked that Brighton is currently warmer.
Holiday Inn makes sense for an away game, it's normally a one night stay and they just need a place to bed down for the night in preparation for the next days match. They don't need the luxuries a more upmarket hotel would provide. For a training camp when they are away from home then they would more than likely go for something with facilities that allow the players some R&R time outside of training during their down time. Sharing of rooms isn't about saving money but more about bonding with your team mates and having some company when away from your family.
Cheapest training camp ever for the club then with the way our injury list is looking.

The timing, coming on the back of a season ticket price increase isn't great PR.
Having said that, if we win the next league game it can be justified as a good decision. If not, then the club can probably expect some flak ... (or at least some message board grumbling)
I will stand alone and say its a good thing! It feels unpalatable to us as supporters, because it is so at odds with our norms. If you're looking for things to change, then a change in environment can hep break normal patterns, normal thinking and a break from normal performance. How much you're paid, however good the normal environment is for work, doesn't make you immune to the impact that simple routine can have. A chance for the team to be together in a different environment, under different circumstances may help strengthen the team ethic, one of our strengths in recent years I would suggest. Not so different than a pre-season training camp in the sun?
Jose made the plane.
Surprisingly there have been no , afaik , further images/stories published by players on social from Marbella since those from Jose/Beram on day one.
(there were quite a few daily from the pre-season get together)

Siberia for me. Let them earn their salt, literally.Good chance for the likes of Stephens and Duffy to enjoy some beverages in the sunshine. Warm weather pi$$ in my eyes!
They should be sent to Bognor Regis based on their current form...!! Give them boot camp conditions for a few days, that will get them ready for their relegation battle!
