What a good idea!

I don't live in Sheffield so when I saw this article on the OS I thought what a good idea this was.

Have the club ever advertised for young players in this way before?

I've seen it on the site before... earlier on in the year for slightly older players I think.

Anyone else having trouble reading the thread title in anything other than a sarcastic inner voice?

Cheers,Linz. I hadn't seen it before but then I don't go on the OS much these days

I never go on the OS. Badly laid out, half of it is inaccessible, and the first thing you see is an ad.

Yes, they have and other clubs do the same. I think it is when a club thinks that a particular age group do not have enough players that stand out, then they advertise for trials. I do know of some managers from Junior division A clubs sort of tell their players that going to trials at Academies are a waste of time

Not a good sign then.
