I noticed in today's press that Partick Thistle have reaped rewards of having a sound youth policy by selling an 18 year old midfielder Aidan Fitzpatrick to Norwich for £350,000. This will go a long way to paying off their losses for the last few seasons and just goes to show what having invested in a strong youth program can bring. Yes these are far from regular events but there is always a chance of unearthing a similar starlet, while supporting the senior squad especially if it is limited in size like we have at Palmerston, if you invest in youth development.
