Wow, the under 18's, very impressive

[warsaw]

Surprised nobody has mentioned this yet.

After winning 5-1 at Spurs Brian Owen has tweeted that we beat Chelsea 2-1 today!

Get them all in the first team

Great news. Investment in the Academy will eventually pay handsome dividends.

We'll make good money selling our players to the teams wanting to get promoted from the Championship...

 

[Eddie Bee]

Some good results recently, seem to have a couple of good strikers.

Anyone know why season ticket holders aren't allowed to watch the under 18s at the training ground ? I think they would be better to watch than the first team

The training ground is proper secure. Every time I've been I'm under close watch.

Oh and Connor Tighe scored a great goal for those who know him or his dad!

This is the future, we are lucky the club is properly committed to making this youth set up work.

Might mean we are crap for a few years yet but when the young players come through we will be great again.

Is it something to do with a code of conduct that's in place for family and friends that come to watch junior level matches? They're only allowed to encourage etc.; no criticism or yelling orders that are contrary to why they're being coached.

This is a complete guess by the way.

Tony Bloom's plans for a 22,000 seat-capacity training pitch were rejected by Adur District Council under pressure from a bunch of unhappy NIMBYs.

Why on earth would you want a 22000 seat training pitch?? No I don't live in Lancing or know anyone who does. It's folly isn't it? Given the clubs losing money!

I don't know if I am? Do you have dubious sexual tendencies? What has that got to do with building a 22000 seater ground for training etc

Aston Villa under 18's must be crap.
