    Category 1 Academy Status

    We have been approved by the FA for academy 1 status, no clue when the announcement will be. Brilliant from Rush, Vicars and Wassall

    This is what I like to see. It's all good for the future of our game in this country. Well done DCFC.

    One of the few things I will agree on with any club.

    In the midst of Bryson and Hughes resigning, and the Thorne deal seemingly edging closer, this shouldn't go unnoticed!

    Long term, this is the best news we could get. There isn't a higher level academy now, meaning our players can't get poached, if I understand the rules correctly?

    Does this stop the big clubs from taking our kids?

    I believe so. And it also means we can pinch kids in all the categories below 1.
