Their coach was at the DeVere last night so I wonder if the plane is just for management

With the management available (if Covid stories are to be believed) they could have flown down in a microlight!

Takes less than 30 minutes looking at flight radar. Environmental & money aspects aside you can see why they do it, 30 minutes on a plane versus 3+ hours on a coach. In the era of an increased reliance on sports science I can’t see 3 hours sat on a coach as being the best prep for playing matches as players are bound to stiffen up.

Just saw my first robin of the year right in front of my window. That's got to be a good sign, right?

Believe it was just the coach driver in the DeVere last night before picking them up from the airport today and then back to the DeVere.

Yep it’s an absolutely no brainer if you have the money, in life as well not just sport
