The footy ground some of the players have their picture taken in may give it away but I can't work out where it is.

Portugal?

perhaps the secrecy of location is an attempt to avoid confronting them there Portuguese Men o' war? , dont need any injuries pre season do we ?

not any clues, other than Portugal, re the training camp location in OM either ....

Its like the moon landing. All fabricated. It looks as though they are training on Five Mile Drive pitches.

Sorry to blow my own trumpet but now I know I'm correct as on the Twitter video they are running around Farmoor reservoir

Not sure why he didn't mention the meeting about pay? I guess the players were already pissed about not having hats and didn't want to make matters worse!!!

Using their ground, well the municipal stadium they use anyway for the football training.

To update on their level, they're in the 2nd tier of the Algarve FA regional leagues which I believe is the 5th tier of Portuguese football.

Yes it is, I was there last spring.

Shame there are no games, as it would have been perfect for a short tour!

another amusing read from the camp:

Portugal Tour Diary- Day 2 | Oxford United Football Club

Day two of our Portuguese adventure is a quieter more reflective affair. Yesterday the players covered miles of parched earth beneath a fierce Algarve sun, today they get some downtime after a well-earned night out.
