Pretty good turn out. Kids seemed happy enough.
If we do it again it would be better if the players just came to meet the kids right away rather than going for a shower and getting changed.
We waited 30 mins after but no sign of the players in the clubhouse which was too long for my boy to hang on.

Would say there was at least 300 there. I went with my boy and we enjoyed it, but 30 odd mins was enough for us. I thought Bell-Baggie looked good but he is VERY small. Balanta, Mansell and Brown impressed me in training and mini match. Didn't look like Harrison or Lockyer trained. |

Ellis is with the Wales U21 squad - playing Bulgaria in Cardiff tonight. Still don't know why he couldn't have been made available to us for Saturday and then join up with the Wales set up straight afterwards.
PS - not sure why the quote part didn't work

They announced after the training session that the players would be in the clubhouse 10 mins after the training but we waited over 20 mins but no sign. |

"I thought Bell-Baggie looked good but he is VERY small" - You were allowed to go in the showers with the players?

Thought it went well. Just a shame there was very little in the way of food(no pasties or pies) and no bars open.
Yet another missed opportunity

That was the reason we left. Not the beer, it wasn't really that sort of thing imo but they did miss a trick food wise. Good start though and could be great with some adjustments. |

Crowding everyone into the clubhouse bar and making us wait for the players to squeeze in was a mistake IMO. I said at the time that I don't know why they didn't all just bring out a pair of trainers to chuck on after training and mingle with the crowds on the two terraces. Leave the shower til after. Everyone was well spread out and if the players spread themselves out too then it would have been perfect for photos and autographs.
Don't want to seem too negative though as it was an enjoyable morning. I hope it happens again (but with a better chance to meet the players and perhaps some bacon butties! - bacon makes everything better!)
