    I hope they have taken out cancellation insurance on the room bookings, assuming they have booked for more people than our current signed up squad!
    Probably not as if we've signed no new players then the squad will be made of current players from the U23s squad as mentioned in the statement.

    I’ll be in Spain for the whole of October so hopefully they wont sign the players and book a place at the summer camp until then. See you there. Ola!

    This announcement suggests we're further along in our manager selection than meets the eye. 
    I rescind this statement. 

    I don't think we even have a preferred candidate yet.

    It was originally meant to be in Portugal but swapped to Spain a couple of weeks ago.  Not sure why tbh

    You're making a very broad assumption that the manager has much of a say in things like this, next you'll be suggesting they sign the players  :D

    I think I know how this is going to end.

    The new manager's expired passport is in the queue at the Passport Office for renewal and the new Club Secretary has failed to do his nanny job and make sure the players even have passports.  Fortunately, Martin Sandgaard's passport still has a year to run and he will lead training in Spain for the four first teamers and two U18s who are able to attend.

    so who will be at this camp team bonding. sandaagard should cancel it and put the money into player wages. that way we might get a decent player in.

    Not sure of your age Rock Spectacle but if you and your 3 friends take your boots you should be able to make up the number. The big lump in your party will be needed at CB as Clare, Inniss and Lavelle might not make it.

    Are there any games that we can watch, or is it just training?

    According to my understanding of what Mr Sandgaard said in the new manager interview, new signings are likely to be just before the end of the transfer window. I think he said the Spain venture will be with current first team remainders plus youth players.

    Rumour on Twitter that the trip to Spain is cancelled.

     Would not be surprised. Personally think it's a bit of a waste of time if half of the squad won't be there.

    An indication all is not well. No point having a plan and not being competent enough to deliver it.

    Maybe but it’s from a random fan rather than a reliable source.

    Only 22 signings made across the league. Haven’t checked but that may include a few u23 signings. Market is still quiet at our level.

    I think you are correct and now Dean is sleeping it off after losing energy !

    Problem is some on here will run with it but unless its reported from posters with a good track record of having contacts then its just attention seeking.

    If buttleJR says it's kosher then that would be different.

    Spain mentioned by the club so perhaps not.
