It's a saying in football you want to be at a top teams academy as if/when your released,there's more branches to grab hold of as you fall down the tree !!
Hence,when we release young lads they tend to end up in non-league

So would you agree, f19, that there is no point in us having an academy and youth team?

The logic seems to be that the good ones go to a "top academy" while the less good ones go to non-league. And we gain nothing.
