    I enjoyed the game last night too - but it was bitterly cold.

    Be interesting to see whether the owners decide to pay half the costs next season to fund the youth team and academy or whether they scrap it. We have had some good players in the youth team but sadly they are playing for Premier League clubs now (Jack Bearne at Liverpool, Dongda He (Wolves) and Kion Etete at Spurs). Just so easy for the big clubs to cherry pick our youngsters. It will cost us £230,000 next season and £460,000 the season after - if we fail to get promotion. Not many youngsters are making the first team these days. Is it worth having the academy or should we be pursuing the Brentford model of signing local rejects and use them in a reserve team - a number have made their first team.

    Much as I enjoyed the game last night, reality is that Newark Town are at level 7 - a long way down the pyramid.
