My boy is coming to Grimsby for further trials. We've already been once. 2  questions -

(i) what is the youth set up like at Grimsby? Many players coming through?
(ii) what has gone on at Grimsby? I had to look twice when I saw your were in the conference. I'm not being funny but it doesn't seem that long ago when going to Blundell Park was a really tough away fixture.

Wish you better fortune in the future whether my lad joins you full time or not.

It definitely seems a long time ago since we won 3-1 at Pride Park on Boxing Day even though it was actually only the 2002/03 season.

Robbie Stockdale is running the youth as you probably know, he recommended upto 5 of the previous team (i think it was 5) to be offered contracts for this season at the end of their Y.T last season.
The gaffers only offered two and kept two back for pre season make or break chance to further impress.

Players in and around the first team at the close of last season and beginning of this, which have progressed from youth at some time, currently stand at Wood, Thanoj, Mulready, Southwell, Marshall, I'anson, Freeman, Dawson although of those Wood is the only regular starter of late.

So 7 of the current 25 in total.

As an outsider looking in (ie. I've no knowledge of youth football or the GTFC youth setup), it seems to be between 18-21 when our youngsters 'lose their way'.

This was something Chris Casper was brought in to look at, but sadly doesn't seem to have been on the agenda of anyone since he left.
