Watching Brief

John has agreed to open up the Pilgrims’ regular Thursday morning session at their Harper’s Park training ground to the Green Army.

In recent times, all such sessions have been closed to the public at the request of the various managers who have preceded John.

That will change – on Thursday mornings only – when John and the lads return to PL2 3DQ in September after their early-season work at the University College of St Mark and St John.

John said: “I’m happy to invite supporters up to the training ground at Harper’s Park to watch our Thursday morning session.

“I hope it will give them an insight into the preparation that goes into matches, as well as the hard work that the players and coaches put in to trying to make this club a successful one.”

A special area of Harper’s Park will be marked off, from where fans will be able to watch the players go through their paces.

Supporters should be aware that they attend the sessions at their own risk and that Plymouth Argyle cannot be held responsible for any injuries to spectators as a result of attending the training sessions.
