You’re right but we take whoever who wants a trial and see what they’re like as it does no harm. Include local-ish championship youngsters too.

That’s fair, however I would not want that sort of panning-for-gold approach to replace a proper youth system. For me, you have to think what the point of a club like ours is, and I think it should include offering local youngsters the chance to play football and receive coaching.

What it will come down to is what we can afford. There’ll be ‘nice to haves’ that just don’t fit within the sustainable budget.

In the sort term, that’s definitely right, but I’m talking a bit more longer term.

Thing is though Ferrite if we don’t buckle up as a club and become more sustainable there won’t be a long term. By all means install a youth set up once we’re back on track financially but we’re a long way from that.

Yeah, I realise it won’t happen in the immediate future but it shouldn’t be something that is overlooked for too long. After all, despite Hilton’s claims, these things do tend to pay for themselves in the long-term.
