Someone posted this a few months ago. What people who want to get rid of the academy don't realise that by doing that we would have no gym. no indoor facilities no practice pitches etc
I think I need to make an apology as the external funding to EFL clubs including ours is shown below (£1.2m) and to be honest is quite considerable and pity the club doesn't share this information to fans as its quite or more than relevant when funding for the club, first team and academy is concerned. I may be wrong a little bit but the funding that is provided is very considerable and why perhaps our club persists with the Cat2 academy as they would probably lose a huge chunk if they downgraded or eliminated it.. Therefore its a pointless exercise to keep on about this.
