Major New Signing Joins Training for the First Time

Last nights training session saw the introduction of new signing Craig “killer” McAuley to the squad (well kind of introduction – the gaffa basically said “this is Craig”). It was a baptism of fire for the new boy as club fitness coach Totty Sholeman put on a tough training session whilst chomping on a number 47 and a 28 from China Spice.

Young Seeton wins trainer of the week award for struggling with numbers and cones, he may have to put in some extra hours after training with the clubs (allegedly) cleverest player Andy Blackwell.

The squad embarks on it’s pre-season tour to Benidorm at 3am on Thursday morning and the gaffa will make sure the lads fluid levels remain topped up to avoid dehydration.

For the reserves, veteran defender Phil Littlewood put an end to weeks of speculation by signing on the dotted line. He will bring a wealth of experience and a bag of defenders dirty tricks, and will be a welcome addition to help strengthen the problem position of left back (with the club currently having 5 on their books!).

Training News

The first training session for Northampton United went off without incident (apart from Jack and the swingball pole) after the tensions reported on this very site proved to be nothing more than papertalk.

A reasonable turnout for the first session saw good effort from the lads which got their motors oiled up again. I’m sure we can expect the intensity to increase over the coming weeks and months ahead of the big kick off in September.

The next training session is Tuesday at Errington Park from 6.30pm before the lads embark on their pre-season training tour to Benidorm. Gaffa Karl Parsons has carefully selected Benidorm as the destination due to the high humidity improving the CO2 max of players during workouts.

We look forward to seeing the results.
