No offense but most clubs are looking for keepers.
I cannot see a final decision coming soon, so i will be at Payneham/Postel for their opening pre-season training + a few other which are on other dates, in the mean time i will keep up my own pre-season training.

I was talking to someone recently about how the Downs had a fairly strong team in 1978 but many left in 1979 because the Downs weren't offering free beer for 1st Team players!

Its a requirement of our preseason hence the end of season trip happening in preseason to be followed by another end of season trip at the end of the season.
That sounds like the Smashing Pumpkins song
