My son has been offered a trail at Crystal Palace

[Gullys Cats]

Yikes! Im pleased but seeing him in a Palace kit for the first time will be disturbing.

With all the training, maybe he'll be the next Tom Daley.

 

[Keith Patel]

I wouldn't go to Croydon for a trail, we've got plenty of nice walks here on the Downs.

 

[happypig]

Tell him to nick all the stuff in the trophy cabinet. Oh, no, wait...

 

[Dave the OAP]

Good luck to him...for a youngster to get a trial at any professional club is fantastic, a premiership club is incredible.

 

[Prince Monolulu]

I'm very clad for him, well done.

 

[Surf's Up]

Why hasn't he got a trial with us

I bet he's 'feeling Clad all over' .




Good luck to him.

He'll be fine... as long as he keeps up with the antibiotics

Why hasn't he got a trial with us

Perhaps because our scouting of kids football locally still hasn't improved.

When my son was playing, Charlton were all over his team as they had a couple of stand out players. It was only when I emailed the Albion that they went to watch them - and offered both lads a trial.

tell him to be a classy young lad and respect his environment ....all be it with gritted teeth

dont let him be a pikey tw@T and shart all over the dressing room

 

[pastafarian]

Why hasn't he got a trial with us

because he has a trail.....do keep up

 

[Paul Reids Sock]

Disgusting. Don't let him go - if he is good enough he will get a trial elsewhere

(congrats by the way)

 

[sparkie]

Where does the trail lead to

 

[Dick Head]

Send him in deep undercover.

 

[atfc village]

You must be in bits and pieces.

All good stuff and sometimes exciting and confusing for the parents at the same time with quite strict rules for young players and even though he is invited in, what do you know about this trial.

Time period, the exact level he has been asked to join, do you pay etc etc.

Without naming him how old is your Son and whats his profile like, representative sides etc, just to give a little insight to the scouting psyche

How long ago was that? Given that we're now one of only 24 Cat 1 academies, I'd imagine and hope that our scouts would be all over any talent within Sussex, as well as Hants, Surrey and Kent.

Well done to the OP's son though.
