Overseas trip considered as part of Swindon Town's preparations for new campaign

EXCLUSIVE: Spain is perhaps the most likely destination, though Ian Holloway has had a soft spot for the Portuguese seaside town of Lagos – where he sent previous charges on gruelling uphill sprints at steep inclines.

Swindon Town could well spend part of pre-season overseas as part of their preparations for the upcoming campaign.

The Robins are set to return to training in late June, as manager Ian Holloway begins his rebuild and a second shot at a top-seven finish in League Two.

Holloway has historically taken his squads away for warm-weather training at the likes of QPR and Millwall, but Town’s comparatively modest operations budget has not allowed for overseas camps since the years of Andrew Black’s ownership.

That may change this summer, however.
