The sad fact is that any decent youngsters are snapped up by the bigger clubs. How many young lads have town actually brought through in the last 10 years? I know funding has been a problem, maybe now we are back in the league the youth team may be able to keep hold or even attract some good youngsters. I really hope so. I think with the right coaches and approach it could be a great way to generate some money for the club. I think it's fair to say all town fans are desperate to see a young local lad make it.

Has to come from the player though. Of course we would like to see a local lad come good. The club would too, because they stand to benefit massively from bringing through a great kid capable of going on to better things. Guys, we don't release these kids for no reason. We nurture the talent and give scholarships and initial contracts to those that look like they might have what it takes. Thereafter it is up to them to step up and demonstrate that they are going to make it in the world of professional football.

Last real homegrown player that we brought through the youth system, that made it as a pro for us, then profited from? John Oster

I'd love to see our side full of Grimsby and Lincolnshire lads but that isn't possible because any decent talent is cherry picked for peanuts by the bigger clubs.


When was that last ever possible?

Surprised he made it through 3 managers and got a contract each time tbh...


Only one of them gave him a contract though? (or am I missing something)

Using facts as a basis of your argument are you ? Dirty tactics on here that.
