An idea by the Football League, a good number of years ago, a series of practice matches gives players who have been released by Football League clubs a chance to impress watching scouts and representatives from other clubs.
The matches, usually thirty minutes each way, are played behind closed doors and are staged at one FL ground in each area of the country. Derby and Birmingham City have been trial venues in recent years.
It has not been announced if any of the U18 or reserve players released by City will feature.
