    Aldi or McDonalds? The Wife occasionally goes in that Aldi, I'll ask her to look out for an older gentleman in black and white trackies shouting "cash or card butt?" on the checkouts :grin:

    The natural progression used to be - Schoolboys, Welsh League, Combination, First team.

    A real pity that the Academy has been devalued.

    Me too. Plus the occasional Welsh Leaguer against the likes of Pontllanffraith and Garw Athletic. <laugh>

    The Schoolboys were a force to be reckoned with back in the day.

    The school boys are still going strong but how many these days go to progress into making a career out of the game . I wouldn't say the Academy stifled opportunities but I don't think its helped the local kids. Out of the class of 2012 when the Academy was formed there's one player left in the original age group of U8's Cameron Congreve who recently played for the U23's ( he is under 18 ) the rest either playing local league or not at all.

    They can shove it where the sun don't shine,I don't miss it and I have a feeling a few others feel the same way.
    Henry Winter :
    "£14.95 to watch a game on pay per view is disgraceful. £5, ok, but £14.95? It's disgusting. At a time when PL clubs spent £1.2bn on players. When they'll give agents £200m. When so many families are struggling. The creed of greed is in
    @premierleague DNA but this truly stinks.

    The @premierleague needs to be very careful here. I'm lucky to go to games behind closed doors - and full respect to players for giving everything - but games soulless without fans. PL risks alienating fans with its blatant greed. When fans can return in 6 months, will they all? "

    I haven’t watched a PL game since our relegation, I’ve no interest in it.
