Quote: BigTime "This playing 2 matches on one day is stretching our non existent back room staff beyond what is reasonable. I wonder if someone told us that the Academies League plays on Saturdays and we fell for it?'"
Broncos applied for Elite Academy status and got it. It needs to be backed up with appropriate funds and resources. As far as I know, home fixtures are played on Sunday which on a couple of occaisions so far clashed with first team. However, the fixture that got cancelled was not one of these.
We also chose to run a reserve side which not many other Championship clubs seem to do.
Of course, if we were still at Trailfinders all games could have been played at the same venue.
