I too heard him say Oz for warm weather training for a couple of weeks and also some game time whilst there....

He said it in that interview you were listening to. Not too much about it just said going to Oz & hopefully play a couple of games.

On Radio Manc.Noble was asked what the plans were for pre season.Check out the the podcast from 34.40 and hear Nobbys answer.A trip to Aus and a couple of games is on the agenda.

Before oppostion supporters bleat on about carbon footprints,I think a nice,freezing cold army punishment/team bonding exercise would be best.
I am sure successful sides have enjoyed these types of things.

My Guess would have been Dubai , still maybe on the ' hop over ' to Aus.

Nobby has the minor task on melding 13-15 new signings into the remainder of the 2013 team who can hit the ground winning ..

with the money invested in these signings the chance to get warm weather training and game time against credible opposition is fabulous.

the difference 9 months make .
