Being outside the FL makes things very difficult but that is no excuse to neglect an essential part of the club; one that played an important part in the great team of the 70s under John Neal and, more recently, with young lads like Ward etc.

At the time I said that we could find a sponsor, to avoid the under priveledged kids having to leave the response was "any sponsorship will be going to the first team, there will be no efforts to find a sponsor for the CoE"
Kids sell, someone who may see no value in the adults may have seen value in the kids, no one was willing to listen.
