Ks boss Geoff Chapple is hot on the heels of a new goalkeeper with both Football League and Conference experience to join current custodian Jerome John at Kingsmeadow.
Chapple says he has been in constant contact with the keeper while his transfer target has been abroad but his message to Kingstonian fans eager for new signings is to be patient.
A staggering 69 hopeful players turned out for training on Tuesday night because the Ks will field not just a first team in the Conference this year but also a reserve string in the Suburban League.
Chapple said: "I'm looking for a squad of 18 players. At the moment I'm down to 14 but I'm not panicking and I know that in the last few weeks before the season lots of people come knocking on your door.
"I know it's right to bide your time and not snap up the first person who arrives because I'm not after people who are just following the money now we're in the Conference."

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
