Snow sees Watford head for La Manga for warm-weather training camp
10:14am Monday 21st January 2013 in Latest Sport
Watford are flying out to Spain today for a warm-weather training camp in La Manga. Picture: Action Images
Watford's first team squad will fly out to Spain for a training camp today due to the poor weather conditions in Hertfordshire.
The Hornets' preparations for Saturday's match with Huddersfield were hampered by last week's snow, with Watford unable to train outside at their London Colney base on a few occasions.
The squad will fly out today and spend a few days at La Manga before returning home on Thursday.

It's only a few hours on a plane, warm, safe and in the same time zone!
Better for our players to be there then spending hours in a car trying to get to training on a frozen pitch!

cebooked or whatever on Saturday to the Football League Show asking them to show the build up to the fourth goal. Why on earth they didn't show it during the highlights makes me wonder. If that had been a Barcelona/Real Madrid/Manch Utd/City/Arsenal goal we would be seeing that in the days to come. It's bad enough having to wait until the end of the programme to see the 'Orns but to cut one of the goals of the season shows a complete lack of understanding their viewers. Rant over!

We are very unlikely to get a points deduction and even if we did life goes on! and we will get to where we are destined to be in due course. So stop fretting and enjoy the journey.

Nice that they cam train properly. Maybe time for a indoor pitch at the colney? Hope they can sort out the contract situation soon though, starting to get worried now!
