I enjoyed the Ajax arena tour, preferred it as a ground to the Nou Camp, very steep, but better views I thought. Neither were a patch on the stadium tour of the national stadium in Montevideo though (venue for the first World Cup final). That was an experience... I will say the guide impressed me. A young Dutch chap who was clearly an Ajax obsessive and knew the club inside out and back to front. You may think that's a pre-requisite for a football club tour guide but a friend of mine has done a few tours of English grounds and the guides amazingly haven't been as clued up or enthusiastic. Great result in the Netherlands for the lads. Will be a good experience for them. |

No Dutch trialist appeared then. Unless the trialist was O'Connor.

After the training game against Arnhem the other night there was a gallery of photos published on a Dutch website and there was a player on a couple of the photos who may well have been a triallist as I didn't recognise him. I am guessing that he was released prior to Saturday.
Without going trawling back to the original news item was it actually confirmed it was a Dutch trialist we were supposed to be having or did it say we were having a trialist with us whilst in Holland? (The two are not the same thing as we may have taken a trialist with us)

Jimmy said that there would possibly be a couple of trialist's appearing in pre-season games but not in the same game , as he doesn't like to have too many in on trial .
I don't think there was any mention of the player being Dutch .
Like Terraceman57 says , I'm of the same opinion that Anthony O'Connor is the trialist .

Not our first ever game on foreign soil, we have played at Colwyn Bay and Merthyrn the past, and Bishop Auckland. Frickley was not foreign soil, but it was in a different world! Not to mention Barry,Cardiff,Bangor & Caernarfon We've also played at Wrexham, Newport and Rhyl. And Chester have one of their stands in Wales, although I do of course realise we don't actually play football in the stand! |

Ok lads for the record our 1st game on the continent was at Arnhem followed by Ado Den Haag. For what its worth I have seen us play at Wrexham, Colwyn Bay, Rhyl, Bangor City and Caenarfon Town in North Wales and Merthyr Tydfil, Barry Town, Bridgend, Newport and Cardiff in South Wales. |

I think we played Newport I.O.W in a preseason friendly when Cloughie was in charge. Perhaps someone can confirm, like E7#9.

E7#9 is correct. We played Newport IOW in a pre-season friendly during the days of Nigel Clough. Cant recall what year it was and cant say that I went but I recall Nigel using it as one of his team bonding exercises that particular summer.
