Quoted from Laddy89
Bennett came from Ipswich and he was on trial at Town when I was. I have lost faith in towns YT policy after they released some really good players a few years back. Ben Higgins was on of the best centre backs I had seen, captain the youth team and then just got let go. Same applies to most of our young ones. I personally don't think a YT is beneficial to any team below league 1.


Not disputing Higgins' ability or lack of, but the fact that he didn't make it anywhere else hardly backs up the argument that GTFC were wrong to let him go. Big big difference between those who shine at local level or even youth level, and that step up to professional adult football.

Yes but you could argue the Grimsby Town youth team who won the Youth league cup were never given a chance at all.

And in the last 5 years none really have. The only one who had something of a chance was Andi Thanoj and he thought he was better than Grimsby and now look where he is,  Conference North with Alfreton.

But anyway.....Most aren't good enough which is why I think they could do away with the YT if it saves the club a lot of money.

If it doesn't cost all that much to run each year then there isn't much point in scrapping it.
