Send them to Siberia, they will think it’s summer when they get back home.

Lol.......

Considering the poor backing St Johnstone get from the good people of Perthshire its a wonder they can stay full time, never mind spring for warm weather training camps.

I dare say there are benefits, but it would be interesting to see stats on how that translates to performance on the park in the weeks after teams come home. I cant say I'm convinced the benefits outweigh the cost as much as Tommy Wright seems to think.

When it comes to Hibs I cant help thinking investment in a full sized indoor pitch would be money better spent, something which is on our agenda if LD's comments earlier this season are anything to go by.

Completely agree. I get nervous when i think of Hibs going to sunny training camps. Our record after training in La Manga was atrocious. Id feel more comfortable if the players were at East Mains but then i guess the sports scientists etc will know better than me!

Not a lot. I’m going away to Malaga in 12 days time, and it’s £55 return, without luggage
Party of 30 in a decent hotel will be around £15, plus park here etc

That would cover me getting back and from LAX

I don't get the regular digs at the attendances of some of the "smaller" teams. The "good people of Perth" actually back their team better than some of the "big" teams.

If you do a rough analysis of city population to average home attendances (excluding Glasgow teams) it provides the following figures ...

Percentage of population that attend local football matches..
Motherwell 14%
Kilmarnock 11%
St Johnstone 10%
Dundee/Dundee Utd 10%
Inverness 8.5%
Hibs/Hearts 8%
Aberdeen 6.5%
Hamilton 4.7%

I don’t understand the benefit of training in the sun to come back and play in the winter

training in the sun leads to better cardio fitness, its been spoken about also that training in the heat actually helps you train in the cold

Good stats Stevie.
They need to put roadblocks up around Hamilton to stop glory hunters leaving for matches elsewhere!
