Linen House Centre
Went down to watch training this morning and was pleasantly surprised to see all the temporary fencing has been pulled down. Anyone who has been to the centre earlier this year would know how ugly and unwelcoming the steel fences were. Could see no real reason for them except to keep the public well away from the players. A breath of fresh air with them gone and on a beautiful sunny morning as today the place looked great and welcoming. Maybe its just a coincidence but it follows the clubs warm and fuzzy approach to the fans.
More reason that I think the move will pay off in the future

They are supposed to maintain their fitness while the good ones will come back fitter. If you come back fitter and you better previous time trials etc they notice. It's a bit more sophisticated these days.clarky449 wrote:Work on fitness side of things, dont need to be working on skills on Day 1 of pre season IMOstinger wrote:yep...i agree...could never understand the mentality behind denying them footies....after all they play with one on match days...HitTheBoundary wrote:Thanks for the photos.

I agree but the fencing gave the feeling the centre was unfinished, unwelcoming and visitors not wanted. I might be reading more into it but my impression today was " Wow, what a great looking place"- even though I had been there many, many times for training. I reckon the players must drive up now and think this has a good feel now.saintbrat wrote:for much of early year fence was there for one 'person' mainly and also some works still being completed
