Rob has only come back this season after being at Barnsley for quite a few years, he left Scunny for Barnsley around 5 seasons ago, Andy only started in September time last year and was making his living as a postie whilst still playing for farsley.
I have been at the academy for 7 years and in that time every season they was a decline in the pitches, equipment, office and generally everything that makes a successful club academy.
There are many stories floating around about what the academy budget has been used for over this time but think it was always seen as then cash cow for the whole club and never rally got used for its purpose to provide the grounding for the future of the club.
