I have photos of them all but am not allowed to release them for now  :P

What I will say is that were quite a few and they looked quality :)

Is that you being truthful? or saying they look quality considering we've lost 2 of our best players and possibly another in SWD

As far as I am concerned SWD can clear off and sign for anyone who will pay him more money than we are prepared to. We do not want mercenaries like that playing for the club. If he really wanted to play for Boston Utd he would have signed by now.

Good ridance along with Yates and Clarke. We have got better players in anyway to cover these last two, and there are bound to be plenty of players desparately looking to play for decent teams like Boston Utd.

But please dont sign older ex players. The thought of JJ coming back is concerning

It seems like there could be a few interesting signings. Certainly a better atmosphere in the training this year, better atmosphere with a few jokes being cracked, team spirit certainly hasn't gone.

And I was talking about the players trialists looking decent and not the photos!

Anyway, I certainly wouldn't want to be this lot after the amount of running they did!

As for this..... well I will leave it to you to decide what Jason Lee was saying! Just shows the more positive atmosphere though imo

Steve Diggin ex-Corby? According to a Corby fan, he's off to Brackley.

Whoever it is, he'll need to be good with a haircut like that, He is Spayne Rd Boo Boys fresh bait now Cully has gone.

Think it's cully's replacement with Big Kev along side. Jason is obviously sharing one of his fishing stories!

My thoughts exactly, LCB! 
With a haircut like that, I bet he wears brightly coloured boots as well.  He'll need to make a good start otherwise he might replace Cully/Yates as the player targeted by the moaners.

Just been on the clubs facebook page, and although some decent pics, the one's shown are not giving anything away on who the trialists might be.

We watch and wait with (im)patience!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can see a backline forming then . . tho MH was rejected by Southport about 4 yrs ago !
 Midfield will be crucial  .. at least a couple of consummate artists there please  J & L .
     As for  forwards  I 'll keep out of it . . just dunno .. like to see Mickey Stones given a run  .

matt was an old fashioned centre half, not a lot of skill but a good stopper, big boot the name of the game.

Was he not a bit timid?  I just remember the "Thommo's little rent boy" game at York where the tormented him and he was awful all afternoon.

It's good we're keeping stum though, there is not a lot of media coverage of our opposition and you can bet Swann and his chequebook are ready to steal any little gems Lee and Lee have got lined up.

Little gems?  There must be a joke there somewhere about Swann and vegetables?

I'd like to see Jamie Stevens back - he showed a lot of promise when he was here before.   

I thought Hocking was a decent Conference standard defender but that was 10 years ago.  I wouldn't think he would be a first choice, but in situations like we had last season with injuries, it would be useful to be able to call on someone experienced to fill in for a couple of games.

 I  now do understand  and support  (if its deliberate)  the reticence by the Club  to open up on signings at this time .
    You  feel that Grim by . . Lincoln or Painsborough  are just waiting  to sign any thing that moves at our pre-seasons .
      Also now almost thankful the first public friendly is n't for a while ..
           What is needed is a practice match well behind closed- doors  . . North Sea Camp  anyone  ?

Caught a glimpse of training last night. Says alot but thought the most enthusiastic and fittest of trainers on view was Bassa. He was really showing some of the others the way.
A few old faces, Milly, Liam P there as well as Mat H, JJ and Jamie S. Didn't recognise any of the trialist. Saddest sight of the night was that the Newsh is obviously not fit yet. Having treatment rather than training. Hope he does not miss out fully on pre season training again as it looks like we are going to need a fit Newsh. Wardy looked to have the right attitude so not supprised they have signed him.

Post by: Lord Cutler Knobhead on July 06, 2011, 12:29:10 PM
How'd Milly get on last year, showed promise until that injury.  Just wonder if it is possible to make your way back from that.

Just listened to the interview with the new fitness coach Ian Freeman, during which time a practice match was obviously taking place in the background. Players were calling each other's name during that match, and I'm sure I heard someone shout "Deano" amidst the background noise midway through the interview.

That name doesn't fit with any of the players already signed.

Is Harry Deane still on the scene? He finished last season at Stamford with Millson and Parker, and they've both been involved in training according to other posts.

Or are we taking a look at another Dean? (hopefully it isn't Saunders or Windass or Trott). Any clues?

The bookies don't seem to be as well informed as the fans at this level.  Guiseley were 50-1 to win the BSN last season when we were about 10-1 - I was tempted but couldn't bring myself to back Guiseley, even at those odds.  Was wishing I'd had them E/W by the end of the season.
