What's this thing about keeping the names of some triallists quiet? Is it a policy so other clubs don't know who you are trying out, or just a bit of tinpottedness not getting a teamsheet published in time?

I'm sure I recall someone on here naming Gareth Whalley before he'd signed and played a pre season game and was seen training. Think the post got deleted pretty quick.

I think it was someone like Steve Foster or someone who'd got 40 odd goals and Droylsden were after him.

If it had been Gareth Whalley we'd have been shouting it from the rooftops so some one would poach him.

There was a complete teamsheet....it's not uncommon for teams to include a number of players named as 'Trialists' in pre-season games:-

Last pre-season, Hyde's teamsheet in our friendly against them, was all trialists.....it made for a rip-roaring commentary on Radio Robins ::).

'Left Wing Revolutionaries' was the theme that day, although I think I preferred the Game of Thrones one they did  :D

Brian,

At least that Hyde friendly provided you with a rare occasion on which you wouldn't misidentify a goalscorer...
