Josh Barrett is using the gym, I'd like to see what he has to offer when he's fully fit. Yes agreed ... i sense he is in the 'last chance saloon' with JB so I am really hoping he responds positively.

I could easily be wrong - but from memory we did something like this once before and it was a DISASTROUS season. Can't remember who it was or when it was (some years ago now) but I'm sure I remember something like this. Wasn’t it under Trollope? I thought it was under Ian Atkins

Not sure the start date is of much significance really. It all depends on what happens in terms of intensity, type and frequency of training in between. Knowing Joey half the time will be spent on rythmic breathing, yoga, pilates, meditation and candle sniffing. Sorry - I meant the army training (should have been clearer). As I say though, I could be wrong Here is a video of Ray Graydon taking Rovers to an army base in preseason (July 2002):

Can't remember who it was or when it was (some years ago now) but I'm sure I remember something like this. Perhaps one of the clever stats people should collate all the data on 'days of the week we returned to training' and see which day ,statistically, we follow up with the best seasons, if that is, any one thinks the day of the week we return makes any difference!

Well of course it doesn't - my point was about the army training, as pointed out in a follow up post

Colerne was a ww2 airfield and not a current base though it did have married quarters there used by the local armed forces bases still and a gym i think.

I think they will do a lot of team bonding exercises .... Trust led and maybe a few low key runs and some obstacle stuff. I just don't see how so many of these sick notes will be able to join in anything too arduous ... The medical staff there will not take Whining or crying - Equally given Baldwin can't stay on his feet on grass what chance will he have on a rope swing or high wire ? Same result... flat on his arse, teammates let down !! Huge wake up call for vast majority of them for sure ....Really hoping some will leave afterwards. Apart from Daly having a few spells out injured have any of the players really been "sick notes" this season rather than simply not good enough? What's the betting next season if the same players are here and winning games they'll suddenly all become fans favourites again.

I'm not entirely sure that next season the fans will warm to some of the current players regardless of results. This lot got us relegated as the worse team in the league and a winning run in the fourth tier will not erase that memory for me.

Chinook helicopters used to land on the pitches when we were training 😂 Strange that, as their is a large parking area adjacent to that pitch. I played in a Craftsmen's Cup Game there in 1995, against the Signals Light Aid Detachment team. Really odd going into the gym to change and seeing all the Rovers shirts and pictures on the wall, we actually won which was a bonus. Also first time I had encountered a female Referee, as the team captain we had some interesting banter
