Chatham have been back to
school in an effort to beat the freezing weather.
Boss Kevin Watson took his squad to
the Harris Academy Falconwood near Eltham, where he is in charge of
PE, to use their facilities as the enforced winter break moved into
its second week.
Watson said: "We have got great
facilities there, including a sports hall and fitness suite and we
also use a 3G pitch at Well Hall near Eltham, as well our usual
training facilities at Fleet Leisure in Northfleet.
"We have managed to do a couple of
sessions, so the break hasn’t really affected us in that respect.
All our training costs are budgeted for at the beginning of the
season, which helps.
"We need to be playing games,
though, because nothing compensates for that."
Chatham host AFC Sudbury
on Saturday as the Ryman League, Division 1 North season
clicks into gear again after a two-week shutdown and Watson is keen
his players bounce back quickly.
He said: "It’s all about how teams
react and it’s a mentality thing. I’m pleased we start again at
home."
Midfielder Matt Solly
(pictured) has stepped up his training after being out
for nearly two months with an ankle injury and could be
involved.
