And the vast difference between this and playing a game on the Saturday in Florida is..............? Oh I know- I can't go because they announced it too late. If I'd known about this from the start of the season, I'd have been there (Although I hate Florida it's got to be better weather than here)

Clubs do this all the time on longer breaks.

I'd prefer that we were still in the cup than continent hopping.

Can't see folks lining up around the block to watch the sessions but I suppose Bradley will have his admirers.

Might be a good idea to change the name of the thread to Florida trip.

Orlando Sentinel asks for fans' questions.

You could end up with Ged Clampett...

And I thought we had been knocked out of the Mickey Mouse Cup

I hope the trip is being sponsored.

[philipl]

I hope the trip is being sponsored.

Of course it is oneway or another.

If we were relying oin gate money, the training camp would be in Burnley.

mid season break for the lads used to be in the united emirates,happen the lads needed a change off scenery,what a bonus for losing too coventry

[doctorryan]

Does anyone know if Quinton went to Florida?

[RoversFanUSA]

Damn! I wish i would have knowen about this a couple of weeks ago. Like Jan i would have gone if not for the last minute anouncement of them going. Dang!

[Driftpeasant]

Yeah, seriously. My birthday was this week, and I'd have held off on my present and used the money to fly out had I known.

Yay marketing department...

[American Rover12]

I wish I wasn't strapped for cash right now, I'd be down there in a heartbeat.

[Hypo-Luxa]

I've already made plans for Florida! But for the Winter Music Conference in March...so an additional trip to Florida is out of the question...

[DanLad]

I won a week in a luxury villa in Florida earlier in the year. If I'd have known that The Rovers were over this week I'd have been there like a shot...

[rog of the rovers]

Anyone got any photos of the training sessions?

Been to the Wide World of Sports complex myself, to see the Orlando Rays, who now play in Montgomery as the Montgomery Biscuits!

I hope someone can get a pick of Tugay with Mickey Mouse, that would be legendary.

Does anyone know if Quinton went to Florida?

I went on Friday. Q was there. Real relaxed environment. Got to chat with a bunch of the lads. Got some pics and a bad sunburn.

Here is a link to a few pics I snapped: Disney photos

To be honest, there was very little interest. The session was not really advertised, and Orlando is a bit out of the way for most folks. There were several Disney and Ginn (U.S. real estate developers who are currently infiltrating Europe) reps there, and that was about it--Ginn sponsored the trip, btw. Most folks who stopped by were autograph seekers hounding the Atlanta Braves, who were training on a field nearby. Many did not know the Rovers, but were familiar with the EPL (there were Chelsea ads and pics all over the place). Several recognized Brad after I clued them in on who he was. Weather was perfect and the session was intense .

[waggy]

Good photos.pity the lads will be freezing there balls off when they return

[roversmum]

some sensible questions needed by this chap I think
