Trials to be a ball boy. Just give it a local kids team and move on. Loads of kids will tell everyone they had trials at Wrexham when they get older It’s their Emerging Talent programme. Trying to find the next Ben Tozer. Towel application is round 2 of the assessment process.

Yeah there's a definite shove but it's of the same nature you see all over the pitch every game. They usually go unnoticed and unpunished. All over the pitch but much more dangerous when there's a barrier there. Has there actually been anything done to make the barriers safer. Remember there wre a lot of comments and good suggestions from fans at the time but would they affect advertising revenue.

Towel application is round 2 of the assessment process. A club that seems to go out of its way to sound stupid or annoying. Ball retrievers my arse its ball boys and girls and lets leave it there. If Kenny ever introduces ours with that name he,ll get a rocket from me that he,ll be able to hear.

Towel application is round 2 of the assessment process. My genuine take on this for everyone dying to know... I don't get the uproar at it not being ball boys or girls, it's easier being gender neutral (say for bibs) and reduces the chance girls are put off. That said, the phrase "batter" rather than "batsman" still gets me in my cricket. "Ball retriever" is a horrible phrase. Presuming they can't get their academy or rotating local schools/clubs to do it, this is waaaaaay OTT. "Applicants must be fit and able to take part in a physical trial, which will include Sprints, Throwing and Accuracy."

I find it hard to be annoyed by the phrase 'ball retrievers'. It's one syllable less than 'ball boys and ball girls' so is a more efficient way of saying exactly the same thing.
Holding auditions seems a bit OTT.

Go back to their age and feel quite a lot of us would ditch County if we were not chosen to throw a ball back to a player especially if you know that one chosen wasn,t a fan but wanted to jump on the bandwagon.

Having a “fitness” test for ball retrievers is way OTT. It actually says a Physical Trial rather than Fitness Test (sorry if being pedantic).

They'll probably all be chosen.
