Quote: The Sleaze "We need a scholarship and under 18's, running a 23's isn't enough.'"
My lad plays for a local Rugby (Union) club. He's 13 and they don't seem to have much trouble running teams at pretty much every age group with not much more than a £30 annual subs, plus shorts, socks and boots (the club provide the shirts).
Fev and Sheffield run multiple age group teams, and I see very little reason (other than volunteer coaches) that we can't do the same.
Local clubs manage to build club-houses (which generate revenue) alongside a pitch with perhaps a small stand. Why on earth can't a semi-pro club with c.2,000+ paying speccies do the same??
Agreed that the U23's may need more cash, and that parents do the ferrying of the team for away games for most local clubs (but why not the same for Fax?), but surely local lads would flock to wear the blue 'n' white and represent the Fax???
