Why do they have to have training sessions on the Tuesdays that I can't get to and not on Tuesdays I can get to! Boo! Love getting down to the training sessions.
went from closed sessions all the time to all open come down anytime now back to limited open sessions
this is a step backwards
FWIW I am a hird fan but I do believe he isn't as open as bombers for these type of things, but if it wins us a flag I guess I don't care
A single session a week is fine. It gives fans the opportunity to see the players run around and especially relaxing during the pre-season when it's all about hope for next year it's fun and relaxing to go and watch. And given the amazing fan support during the saga they need to keep us very much engaged. But I appreciate the need to keep things "secret" and do things away from the public (as much as you can do in the open).

Not a great start. If Hirdy thinks he needs to be secretive at this stage then pity help us for his attitude during the season.
If he sticks with Fridays then all fans will see during the season is an occasional "Captain's Run" which will be about a half hour session at most.
Get with it Hirdy! You can't hide a team strategy. All you can do is get the players playing it so well that the opposition can't counter it.

To be fair, it is the first week back for most of the boys, and you can't judge what they will do during the 2015 season based on this 1 month schedule. It was similar at the start of this season, when we first moved into the TVSC. They will probably hold more sessions during December, with Christmas and the holidays etc.
The only time I have ever been refused entry to watch a training session was back a few years ago when we were down at Victoria Park, and we were trialling Jetta at half back! Besides that, from all the training sessions I've attended this year, I've found the club to be accommodating, with all staff and players extremely warm and welcoming to all fans. I wouldn't get too upset based on this one month schedule.
While Hirdy would have been consulted, I doubt the final decision was left up to him. The club knows it needs to engage with fans better, especially after the saga.
