Alloa Gear Up for Exciting Season

Last updated : 13 July 2014 By County Ground

A friendly game at the Recreation Park home of Alloa Athletic will be the focal point of a training camp in the Edinburgh area and takes place at a ground that Chris Wilder knows well having previously taken Oxford United to play at the same venue.

"The 5 days we will spend in Scotland will be an important time for us. It is about the players getting to know each other on and off the pitch, developing the partnerships and relationships you need to be successful."

Having just avoided a relegation play-off in the 2013/14 season, the Wasps are gearing up for what promises to be an exciting season in the Scottish Championship as big-hitters Rangers, Heart of Midlothian and Hibernian are all in the same division.

Some estimates have put the potential boost to income for clubs in the division at between £200,000 and £300,000 given the large travelling supports that those three clubs will bring and the increased sponsorship opportunities available.
