It’s the ferry to Ireland for Chesterfield's pre-season training camp
Chesterfield’s players will mix hard graft with comfortable “digs” during their summer training camp in Ireland.
The Spireites are heading across the Irish Sea for a few days which will take in a friendly against a Bohemians XI at Dalymount Park in Dublin on Friday, July 24 (6pm). They return the following day.
“We are doing something a bit different this year,” said assistant manager Danny Webb. “We are getting the ferry over to Ireland on the team coach and it is great the club have backed us with that.
"We are staying in a nice hotel and there will be loads of training.
"Hopefully we’ll get a few hundred supporters over there to watch us play Bohemians."
Bohemians compete in the League of Ireland’s Premier Division and finished second to Shamrock Rovers last season.
They are involved in qualification for the UEFA Conference League after beating St Joseph’s of Gibraltar over two legs in the first stage.
Added Webb: "Bohemians are in Europe and I’m not sure what team they will have out but it’s a game for us, a bit of team bonding, and it’s all about that first match of the season against Fleetwood.
"We’re learning all the time and as we’ve always said, we’re fine with people making mistakes, just try not to make the same one twice.”
