It depends at what level you want to bring them through at, there are a couple that spring to mind from last year and the year before who have pulled through in to the lower reaches of the football league. One had a goal disallowed today I believe, Mark Pugh, and Neil Trotman is doing well at Oldham. But they are few and far between. And that is at a club with an established youth set up.
I said earlier it may take years but I think it's something that should be stuck at, the rewards will be there.
Perhaps the OSC could arrange a Q&A with Coley and Ashley Hoskin to see what the future does hold at that level and the plans ahead.
