To be fair the Crewe situation has been established for a long time now and with backing from a certain Merseyside premier league team. Dario Gradi is probably one of the best at spotting youth talent. I presume Stanley are fairly novice at youth team football ? Did they have a youth team during the non-league days ( serious question ). I also doubt they have a scouting network that can really compete with most of the football league. Unless they get lucky it could be years before any lads come through.
