I thought most stuff was leaked via the mystic Tombola ?

Odd that Torquay's manager said Stewart told him they didn't intend rushing into making any signings, plus surely if we'd signed over half a dozen players news about 1 or 2 of them would have leaked by now?

7 or 8 new signings all coming into the club at the same time, seems strange as that is one heck of a lot of players to sign all in one day day or even over a couple of days. Plus trialists usually come in on quite a flexible basis and aren't usually signed up and planned 3 or 4 weeks before pre-season. If this all happens then great but between now and july i would have expected a steady trickle of 1 or 2 signings per week.

Although this will start that a mate down the pub on Saturday says, a mate down the pub is friends with Ollie Clarke's uncle. OC apparently turned up at Rovers and found about 10 young players who he didn't recognise going through their paces. I asked why had it not been announced and was given some spiel about contracts with other clubs still in place. Things did start to get a bit messy and hazy as we were both on the cider from that point.

Did anyone see that young black chap, roughly 5'10" walking behind Tote End Walk before the Mansfield game - dressed head to toe in Blue Square Prem gear - Trackie B's, training top, beanie and kit holdall? I remember seeing him and thinking it was a bad omen.

Was it Armand One? We even paraded him on the pitch at Exeter away in 2002/3!

Surely by that he means that they will take their time and look at players rather than rushing in and grabbing anyone who is going. That is consistent with Clarke's earlier comments . At the same time it means that it they decide someone looks right then they will sign them
