We discuss the different biases affecting the sample of field subdwarfs selected from the Hipparcos Catalogue, and used in the Main Sequence Fitting technique to derive distances to Galactic Globular Clusters. The adopted average corrections significantly affect the derived distance moduli, explaining the differences among various groups using this technique.
