Jersey Road

I've never had the opportunity to get down to Jersey Road to see any training sessions, so I was wondering what access supporters have during the week. I might get a chance to go there soon, so any advice?

Not sure how easy it is now to get in, never a problem but its all change down their now.
I'd call the club beforehand, maybe try speak to Peter G

Send an email to the club. They do have restrictions in place for certain days. Don't just turn up expecting to be allowed in.

When ever I have drove by which is at least once a week the Training is going on the gates are shut and there are security people standing by them to restrict entry

I went to collect a signed shirt with one of my grandsons.

I was quizzed before the gates were opened and then I told where to park and NOT to look at the first team training at any time!

All very friendly but apparently the 'openness' was stopped after two Middlesbrough staff members posed as Bees supporters and spied on our preparations for the play offs.

Typical that the majority suffer because of actions by the minority.

Perhaps the club can let dedicated fans in by appointment. Meaning club members and season ticket holders. We would need to show ID. I.e. Passport driving licence etc that would work would it not?

The sessions towards the end of the week are private. So no one is allowed in. Early in the week, unless there's a midweek, match is usually the only time.

I think they use cardboard cut outs of the players now whilst the real guys are training at The London Transport ground or running around Richmond Park :D

As a kid I used to cycle to the LT Ground to watch the Bees training, that must have been late 70s early 80s, it seemed so surreal to see my heroes outwith Griffin Park

In the early 60s they often trained in gunnersbury park down by the Potomac Lake. I used to watch them with a friend and then get autographs.Stroll on - times have changed.

Think it was even before Webb.

Dodgin and Callaghan possibly.
