Workington fans had the opportunity to watch the Reds training last night as manager Mark Fell made it an open session at Borough Park.
The only absentee was Steven Rigg as the rest of the squad were put through their paces by Fell and his staff ion a very watchable work-out.
There was also a new face among the Workington players – a former Newcastle United Academy graduate who was on the bench for the Magpies against PSG in the Champions League.
