Nah, I'm afraid our academy and its record of bringing a decent batch of lads through together is abysmal. Sadly most of them will have been released by then. Only 2 or 3 will get contracts and won't get picked for the first team (or if they are it will be out of position) for ages

Doubt any of these youngsters will get in the side by then when we have a moneybags Chairman pumping serious money into the team in our new stadium. 😁

As we, and probably most 1/2 league teams, bring very few from the various youth teams into the first team is the cost effective. I believe we get some money from the league, but put against the cost of coaches etc is it basically a waste of money.Most of our new signings are free on 1/2 year deals so it's not like we would be saving on transfer fees.
