The trouble is it will take at least 5 years to get an academy that will be bringing lads through to challenge for 1st grade because most lads at 14 to 17 have probably already got clubs and with the uncertainty round the club would lads choose Leigh over the other clubs that have academy's
Again I agree. As I say a 5 year initial plan with a 5 year continuance plan. Building a grass roots to first team program will take time and money but in my opinion has to be a part of a sustainable long term plan for our club.
All pie in the sky of course right now though unless we can get the right owner(s). And as long as we will still have access to the top tier in the next couple of years.
