Ha, the soccer players weren’t allowed to park internally today and are walking back to their externally-parked vehicles.

Glorious weather for now; a few hundred watching this warmup event.

Is Zerk out there? Didn’t train yesterday

Ummmm… I may not have been paying much attention, and was at the forward’s end.

Pre season Training reports. Very much appreciated, HOWEVER:

Pre season Training reports that concentrate on how players are doing, please and not how the team is doing, because until the first preseason game we will have no idea if the team will be competitive or not.
The last 2 years proved the optimism generated by preseason training reports created unreal expectations.
But the optimism is probably my own fault. I am sure many others were sucked in as well.

Preseason reporter reports in the style that they want. You can “take out the bits that don’t suit”.
