Fair enough, but even still...

we weren't officially an academy side so didn't get the full benefits. Also an 8/9 year old who joined back then would still only be 14/15 now, so not old enough for the first team. We did alright in the Youth Cup last year and have heard good things about some of our young players, so we will have to wait and see what happens.
