Dutch training camp cancelled (is now Spain instead)

[IJN]

No good mate, Brian, me and Argyle Nutter are playing in Redditch for three days. Would have gone else.

A shame Ian, 3 golf courses on the doorstep, you could have combined golf and footy. I live just 15 minutes walk away so will pop up to watch the training and matches while they are here in July.

I would have loved it, but all paid up now and should be a cracking three days where we're playing to be fair.

How do you find a Hotel with enough rooms empty in Spain during the middle of the Summer holidays?

Just phone up and say you want 20 - 25 rooms please, not sure how many people yet for breakfast or evening meal.

Oh and can we take over all your sports facilities!

I am intrigued as to how Argyle or anyone can do this at such short notice.

My theory is it's the vacancy caused by Burys problems. Nothing to back that up but, thought that they may have already been booked but now have other issues to worry about.

Or Groupon and booking . com.

July and August is very much the low season for golf out here so the hotel would be relatively quiet in summer. They also have a sport hotel next to the 2 training pitches with gym, swimming pool etc which teams from all over Europe use all year round. Eto and Roberto Carlos were there with their Russian team a few year's ago. It's a good set up and Murcia, Elche, Alicante(Hercules) and Cartagena are all second or 3rd tier clubs within 40 to 60 minutes. For any fans coming out there is plenty to do and a huge range of amenities close by. Murcia and Alicante airports both 40 to 45 minutes away.

what a waste of money cancel it.

Shut-up, mate.[/quote im not your mate gobby.

Why is it a waste of money?

At least provide some reasoning behind your statement.

Personally I think it's great. It's all about team bonding and building. Plus warm weather training is always gratefully received.

We could go somewhere up north for the same thing but it would cost just as much and would not properly be "warm weather training"

it's called sarcasm.

Because apparently according to several posters on this thread a training camp in Holland was a waste of money so isn’t any training camp abroad therefore a waste of money.

Last year when Argyle were in Holland and Germany it was very hot, even up north!

Nice area Jerry. My mum has a small house further down in Almeria (Sorbas probably the nearest town, or maybe Turre.

You dont need to do 'warm weather training' in Spain inJuly!!! As far as I know no blizzards are forecast for July in Uk. If anything the heat could restrict training as it did in Holland last year.
When we could have flown to Sunderland last season there wasn't the budget.

Spain?

Thanks Freddie. :thumbup: :lol:

Perhaps, we should have flown to the nearest airport to Accrington. Not impressed then, BG? That’s unusual.

With some of the Freddie money they're going to fly up to Sunderland, wait around for a few hours and then fly back. That should put things right hopefully.
