@Curmudgeon beats pleslie999 by resignation. thought I was doing ok then all of a sudden I’m humped! Well played and all the best for the season -
All the u-20s boys will likely be signed on dual contracts allowing them to play for both the 20s and the 1st team. It was one of the major selling points when the 20s league was set up. It’s the carrot that’s dangled to all boys at 20s level hence why so many clubs have plenty players!

Iv had my say on the ‘academy’ in the past. As you mentioned, it’s there to secure funding for the Astro. It’s not going to provide the next generation of super stars coming through. I’m not sure the lure of playing under the Dumbarton name at u-15 level has any more appeal than playing for Haldane, DU, riverside or whoever. I don’t think that ‘not engaging with the best team in the area’ really matters. It’s purely about getting boys to play under the umbrella. It’s similar with the girls team, anyone with any iota of knowledge about the womans game will know how far away DU were/are from being competitive at the higher levels in the game. Playing under Dumbarton’s name is purely a fund raising exercise. that being said, if the new Astro comes to fruition. All the teams playing under the Dumbarton banner and suppose Broomhill will get use and there won’t be any space for anyone else in the community to let it out.

We have treated the LC as glorified friendlies for years. Faz even admitted it. The worst thing for us is we can’t play trialists, otherwise I’m sure there would be a few getting game time.
