Starting with two days of testing, John Mousinho’s squad will back on the training pitch fully from today as they build up their fitness ahead of the August 9 kick-off against Oxford United.
Here are a collection of photos from the first few days of pre-season training over the last 15 years, including the eras of Steve Cotterill, Michael Appleton, Guy Whittingham, Paul Cook, Kenny Jackett, Danny Cowley and Mousinho.
