We have arranged 14 which is far to many in my opinion,we have a small squad at the moment so the thought of watching endless trialists is not very appealing.

14 that is a lot, what is the average amount of friendlies that a team as per season?

About right I think.

I still remember a Gills pre-season friendly against Forest back in the mid/late ninties, Forest players were announced and all roundly booed by the Rainham End, then when the Gills line up was announced it went something like: (In speech marks is the cheer from the Rainham End)

Number one big Jim Stannard "Yeahhhhhh"
number two Neil Lynne "who"
number three Neil Smith "Yeahhhhh"
number four -some new player- "who"
number five -some new player- "who"
number six -Andy Hessenthaler- "yeaahhhhhhh"
number seven -some new player- "who"

and so on including the substitutes, a warm welcome there by the gills fans for their new signings
