Many thanks for that - it's appreciated.Yeltz64 wrote: ↑09 Jul 2018, 13:57First of all, completely agree with all Andy said.
Main points,please forgive me if I've left anything out.
Keith stated that there was little to no infrastructure at the moment so as part of improving this there will be the creation of an under 21's side to act as a conduit between youth and first team. Matches to be played Saturday mornings.
Steve Hinks, former assistant to Richard Sneekes at Sutton to head up the academy.
Two new classrooms to be erected alongside the perimeter fencing between the phone mast and cafe. (sponsored by Karen's company)
The bar in the JG to be moved to the back wall making it longer. Greenalls & Fixed wheel to provide the booze. Future development could be to remove/sell the Steve Lynch suite and extend the JG.
Ali is now a contracted player. (the first in many a year) apparently Stourbr*dge have already tried to nick a couple of our players, both of which said no.
I'm sure i heard at one point that John Hill will have an improved budget.
Oh i nearly forgot. Towards the end of the coming season there will be a review of the club badge (Hurrah)
All in all an awful lot of work to be done, but at last we can all be assured the club is in safe hands.
Very pleased to hear there will be an U-21's set up. One thing (out of many!) that has frustrated me is the fact we have not once used any player from our youth team. Given the abysmal season we have just endured, If we never used any players from a successful youth side, like we have, in our first team, then when will we? Why wasn't any player tried, they couldn't have done any worse!
Was the question asked at the forum? It seems a little pointless to have a set up and not at least give one youth player a game? Hopefully this U-21's side will bridge the gap and we'll see some youth players breaking through.
