I don't know about that
Heard Arthurlie ground could be going to be Astro
The same idea as the excellent Renfrew's ground
This time next year those 2 parks would be to large for our beloved or beleaguered or totale buggered Saint Mirren

I saw Josh at the 2013 cup final and he spent ages putting all those black and white cards on seats the club should thank him not ban him. get it sorted tony f. I was chucked out of Love Street at the Anglo Scotish Cup Final v Bristol City back in the year dot for trying to nick a bristol scarf and never received a ban all I did was walk back in the other gate.

Beaten 2-0 and out the cup
Hit bar,post and missed a penalty
Been a good weekend for all at the club
Can we not sell off Greenhill Rd the place is jinxed
I have been thinking the same thing Colin. since day one the place has been lacking any atmostphere or warmth at least Love Street felt like home. This ground is lacking in every department No Pub or Chippy in sight flog it and play at Arthurlies ground.

So the youth academy is definietly doing things the wrong way.
How many clubs have youth academy's in our area? Are we doing anything different to them? Are we bringing in players from further afield then them?
The area we operate in, means our chances of uncovering one decent player that can be sold are incredibly slim. If we want a decent youth academy we need to be bringing in players from everywhere, and we need lots of them. That takes lots of investment; in terms of coaching and a scouting network, something our club maintains is part of the managers job, which is equally as foolish. Keep scouting and transfer knowledge within the club, not a position that is likely to change every two years.
A club our size should be exploiting near finished products that we can sign for free then sell on, instead of trying to develop our own players. Until we change our youth setup or at least push it down our recruitment policy we will struggle to have real success on the field.
Look at the Pozzo's tenure at Udinese, Watford and Grenada (before they were sold). An entire setup that focused on youth. Not developing the players, but signing the promising players before anyone else. Alexis Sanchez was signed by Udinese as a 14 year old, before the major clubs could even get a look in. Why because they have a global scouting network, and have built their clubs around retaining experience and knowledge. Recognising that a first team manager is one of the worst people to rely on when it comes to transfers and youth development. I'm not saying we have the resources that they do, but we can certainly attempt to sign players from further afield than Scotland, to increase our chances of success. As a scouting network of any efficieny will support the first team and youth prospects.
Much better than the half arsed approach the club takes to most things!
Ok so we scout the talented players from afar then what do you suggest we do with them as we will have no youth teams in which to play them.

I don't think the Academy is doing things the wrong way What I see having being going to youth games every week for the last 10 years is a lack of talent coming through the set up. I reckon the present generation do not have the hunger of previous generations of players to make it in the game. If we were as a club to ditch the Youth Academy then where would the talented young players from this region learn the game they could go to other PY clubs or play at boys clubs and we might miss out on a real gem of a player.

Sums up all of our 'youth' products. Technically not good enough, physically behind and mentally fragile.
Far too much focus and hope has been spent on playing football the 'right way', which has only produced a handful of players who fail to standout in an awful Championship side, was there not a hope we could one day field an entire team of our youth players?
The sooner we rip up the half arsed approached we have to developing youth products the better. I'd rather see every penny spent on scouting.
Total Bollocks

FFS how many managers are we going to get rid off. it's getting tedious pick a geezer and let him get on with it.
-
Strange Game to say the least. Thought we could have had about 7 in the first half but second half was poor even though they cleared 2 off the line.

Looking forward to seeing all the fat bastards walking about the toon with that thing on. A Psychedelic Disaster

So it's a mixed reaction to the maybe signing of John Sutton here on the Black And White Army Forum.
