    It would cost two to three million pounds a year to run a level 1 academy, and of course upfront millions for new facilities. Is that? A good use of our limited financial resources. 
    The facilities are already Cat 1 standard because we bought them from Reading - which was Cat 1 at the time

    It's the numbers of coaches we need to ensure is adequate.  Being in the Championship will also help now

    I thought we bought the stuff from Reading for the 1st team because the academy had to be housed in a brick building for Cat1

    Correct

    The club website still has pictures of academy players known to have been released. As we're into July there is no excuse for this.

    They also only just changed the first team squad, it's so sloppy

    In fairness they haven’t officially confirmed which academy players have been released or signed new deals (if any?).

    On the squad pages, they didn’t update the u18 squad all season, so that’s been out of date for the last year.

    Also a problem though, contracts have expired now

    The under 21 players who were to be released were told before the penultimate game.

    Yeah I remember you saying that probably a few weeks ago. They would have also officially left on Monday when their contracts expired, so I’d have thought the club will confirm the full list sooner than later.
