I'd be 100% in favour of a return to training at Preston and would suggest that with the players being generally based nearer to Preston than Morecambe that any cost of using Preston would be compensated by the reduction in travelling expenses to the players who have to travel to Morecambe at least 4 times a week (assuming that they get car expenses?). Alternatively why can't the club come to some arrangement with PNE to make use of at least some of its training grounds or even use Myerscough College which was the base for ALL Jim Harvey's mid week evening training, due I understand to the ease of travel of the players at that time.
One thing mfcbro and I will continue to have differing opinions on is tactics, although from the last 2 home games we appear to be basing our game by playing it on the deck (excellent
) however I can't comment on the Bury game other than seeing the highlights which suggested a use of the long ball as well as playing it on the ground. As for the budget I would think that the quality of player brought in during the close season (and acknowledged by football pundits as being generally excellent) that there has been an increase in budget however small to finance the new additions who for me as a group is a giant step forward on previous close season additions. Maybe if our formation and tactics favoured the players than players being asked to play in a formation that they feel uncomfortable in we would see more favourable results. It's still early days but the prospect of yet another season fighting against relegation fills me with dread but the longer our current run of poor results continues (despite recent on field performances that warrant something better) it could be a long, hard climb back to a position of relative safety.
