Ward was definitely there - with you on the others though!

 

Was a decent day out.

Vestergaard was there.

Vestergaard was there. 

Not sure how I could've missed him 

 

To be honest I was spending most of the time watching Mavididi like a hawk.

It’s been done a few times. First time they did was 03/04 in the prem. 

 

Good way for the club to sell some merchandise, nice little event free of charge for families to go during the summer holidays, and a chance for the younger generation to meet their heroes. 

yeah agreed its a great idea, seems like its been a good 10 years ish since we did it then. 

 

Hopefully it becomes a regular thing.

Best thing I saw from the picture was the heavies had backed off. Looked like players spent time with the kids without some fatso trying to move them on quick time.

Didn't see Smithies, Ward, Coady (obvs), Vestergaard or Kristiensen there

Vestergaard was there. 
 

Edit: see everyone’s already said that 😂

Things I noticed…

 

wilf looks like he is being used more offensively 

 

Vestegaard I think will start, he seems to be used a lot.

winks touch and awareness looks really good 

 

the players looked super fit, and relaxed.

 

KDH still lacking a bit of confidence in front of goal 

 

it was great for the players to be given a warm reception, after how last season ended.

I’ve seen about 4 Champ teams announce them so either today or tomorrow they’ll announce it 

Could be interesting to see which numbers are left open? Could give indication in how many new signings we are still looking to get an for what positions?

I suppose super fit makes a change from the Rodgers super fat era. No wonder tubby Tielemans was his favourite ‘manager on the pitch’ player

[Marky mark]

Was quite a good session - kels looked woeful in front of goal ( nothing new ) daka very hit n miss we’re going to need another striker 

some good 1 touch passing going on 

good turn out too

Noticed the same. Also Iversen made a couple of blinding saves and Vardy looked sharp in front of goal

[Mr Fox]

Very nice of them to applaud the fans that attended before the session.Nice touch. Well all of them applauded except the 

lanky Dane. Did anyone else notice this or am I being petty. With a new manager he has got a clean slate so could be a 

regular in the team actually earning his money.  Be careful what we all wish for.

You'd think the club would have announced the numbers (at least for new signings) so that kids would get the names and numbers printed on a day like today.

 

Not sure what they gain from not telling people?

I think there are still old fashioned people in football that think announcing numbers can weaken your hand in transfer negotiations. 

 

If we decided to sell ricardo, so let someone have his number it would be a sign the club planned to let him leave.

This is not a joke

Bloke on my bus to work had full kit AND his boots on as he was adamant an open training session was exactly that and anyone could join in so he was on his way to the KP !!!

Can’t wait to see the photos 

 

Was it Danny Drinkwater? 

[Sol thewall Bamba]

I hope this is a sign of things to come and a bit more appreciation from the players.

[SystonFox]

What was the atmosphere like? Did they play any goal music?

Norwich have given their right back number 3, disgraceful behaviour

Worst thing I’ve read all pre season. Worse than the Asia Tour

This and the FKW on the bus confirm what I already thought. We have some of the thickest fans on earth. And the TV cameras always find them for a chat whenever they do that shit.

And lots of them post on FT.

Just seen the insta post of them high fiving and signing shirts going down the tunnel. Would it kill them to do this every game? Would make kids years to do this.

 

at the end of tigers games if you hang about the players come over for a chat and a beer with the fans… city could learn a lot, football in general here

[filbertway]

Credit where it's due, I think we've got a lot wrong this summer but this is more like it.

 

Fan engagement and getting kids interested and a chance to meet their footballing heroes. Hopefully we see more of this from the club. Sounds like it went well and plenty of positive comments from it.
