It's good to be back. Amid all the justified negativity, here's to a good preseason and an even better season.

Are the Ibiza boys present?
I’d pop down to cheer the lads on but for that screen net they’ve put up.
Petty.
I suppose my Sambas won’t be full of dogshit.

dont forget it was Westley and PR who stopped fans watching training from inside Springy's.
Had some great times @ Training with my kids when C Brown; Davies; Simmo; Fergy; Irvine; P Brown and Grez....were managers.
even with GW in his 1st season... but it all stopped when Dino had a flare up with a fan..
.
No. Screen only went up last season. Leeds spy fiasco?
I thought it was Billy Davies or Paul Simpson.

It was more down to health and safety from what I remember. A couple of fans were able to just walk into the gym.
Not the done thing nowadays anyway unfortunately. I doubt there’s a single Championship club where the fans can enter the training ground and watch training.
You definitely used to be allowed in under Phil Brown, apart from Thursdays as that's when they did set pieces.
Not that you couldn't just watch the set pieces through a see-through fence, but it wasn't me who made the rules.
nope..... I went to training under both of them quite happily.... Irvine wanted you inside the gates before a set time (when he had the gates locked) but the rest were fine.
My kids actually acted as 'ball boys' under Craig and Billy.
it was GW & Dino who started having confrontations with fans that caused it to stop....and PR maybe it happen and has never reversed it.
H & S might have been used but it was never a problem pre Westley....
I've watched them train through the gym door a few times.....not least when we had that kid from Chelsea who our lads, like Ty Mears, used to try to learn skills off.
2 aside head tennis and 5 aside 2 touch were games we often watched pre GW / PR.

true the only time I've not been allowed in Pre the GW/PR ban was when I took a trialist down and they used the pitch behind the Town End.....
We had to stay on the car park whilst this trialist was given a run out...... he signed for Everton in the end.
