Many Bluebirds fans are in the South West for Cardiff City's pre-season tour.
Neil Warnock loves a pre-season trip to Cornwall. Over the years Warnock has led Sheffield United, Crystal Palace, Queens Park Rangers, Leeds United and Cardiff City to his adopted home in preparation for a new season.
This evening (Wednesday), the Bluebird return to Bodmin after winning 3-1 at Priory Park a year ago.
While fellow Premier League clubs fly off around the World, Warnock prefers to base his players close to his home at Stoke Climsland.
NEIL WARNOCK:
“It’s a beautiful area and the hospitality is always second to none,” says Warnock. “I love it
“I don’t believe in going to Sweden or Finland or even further for pre-season – give me Cornwall anytime.
“Clubs down here play the right type of football. They are not going to kick you to death.
“I do a great job for the Cornish tourist board every time I bring a team here.
Priory Park, Bodmin. Pic: Bodmin FC.
“Bodmin’s Priory Park is ideal. The facilities are good and the playing surface is excellent.”
This evening’s fixture will be the ninth time manager Warnock has visited Bodmin over the last 18 years. His teams have scored 50 goals during those fixtures and conceded two.
