Former Plymouth Argyle manager Neil Warnock will stick to form and bring his newly promoted Premier League team Cardiff City to Cornwall for pre-season.
Many top flight sides travel to exotic oversea locations for pre-season with America and the Far East proving popular destinations.
Warnock has a history of bringing his sides to Cornwall in preparation for their new season and that won't change just because they will be plying their trade in the same division as the likes of Manchester United, Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool next season.
Speaking about his pre-season plans the 69-year-old, who owns a house in the County, said: “People said to me ‘are you going to the Far East or America?’… I said ‘no no, we’re going to Cornwall.
“I have a nice week at home, we have two or three local games. In this case we are probably having five or six with the whole Under-23 squad as well.
“We stay at St Mellion, which is a lovely golf resort, and the fans come down in their numbers in caravans and tents for the week. It’s a super week; it’s great for the autograph hunters and we really train well down here.
“We’ve got a nice game against a Spanish team a week before the season starts that we’re going to announce shortly, and we’re going to play a couple of clubs further up north as well.
“It’s a mixture, but it should be enjoyable for our fans.”
