Hide AdAs is now the norm, the players came back to the Fylde coast with a solid level of fitness they had maintained over the summer break.
Grayson is impressed with the condition of his charges but insists there have been no easy days so far, with some gruelling sessions to come.
Town’s head coach said: “The players will be the first to admit that it’s been tough so far, the pre-season days. It’s been a mixture of football and running but they’re in great shape.
“I said to them the other day that if we started the season this Saturday I wouldn’t have any complaints about the levels of fitness the players have come back with.”
