00:00And now we just have to play that waiting game.

00:03There's obviously varied levels of pre-season training going off.

00:09I know you've written some interesting stories on that

00:12over the last few days.

00:14Where are they at currently?

00:15What's the current status quo when it comes to pre-season?

00:20They're doing what they can, essentially.

00:25We've reported at length the situation at Middlewood Road.

00:29I think it's worth pointing out that these are much-needed works

00:32that are taking place at the club.

00:36And if you stripped away the circumstances that Wednesday are in,

00:43I think not training on them this early for the benefit of longer term,

00:49it would be seen very differently.

00:51And I can certainly see all the logic in that.

00:54This has cost a fair bit of money.

00:57The new head groundsman is a fellow that clearly knows what he's doing.

01:03And the scourge of soft tissue injuries,

01:07certainly in the time that I've been covered in the club,

01:10has been an issue.

01:11And a lot of people have spoken to us on and off the record

01:13about the differences between the two pitches

01:16and the challenges that that causes.

01:19So, look, these are much-needed works.

01:22It sounds like the weather's not helped.

01:27And the bottom line is that were Wednesday to be training on them now,

01:32it may well cause big problems

01:33and potentially destroy them down the road.

01:35So, let's see.
