crieffsaintandy Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 Bear how does the new system work. They did the same in Forth Valley with Falkirk and Stenhousemuir nver quite worked out what happens to te boys when they reach the pro age, Do the teams have to buy them form the Academy or how does it work? Mark what is the latest on this, We have had a number of players move on and never received a penny, Still signed for their parent club, but train play under the Fife Academy programme, so if good enough will move back to say Raith, Dunfermline and sign pro contracts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edstar101 Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 The rumours are here that Hibs have a new agreement with Spartans to link up their academies Some of the boys in Ben's group at the Hibs academy who have not been retained at Hibs for next season (going into pro-youth age) have been offered the option to go to Spartans Acadamy....if they progress sufficiently when there, they will be invited back to Hibs, and likewise, those that are in the Hibs squad that are maybe toiling will be 'moved' to the Spartans academy Actual official details not been released yet...but that's the chat around the training centre at the mo From our point of view, Ben has now had his official letter and we will be invited to an 'event' out at Tranent training centre in June some time to 'sign' the relevant registration paperwork.

OldPoster Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 That's quite common, they used to use Edinburgh City in that way, Hearts use Tynecastle to do the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben was at Tynie and there has never been talk of that arrangement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldPoster Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 Really? I know at both Pars (U10-14) then at East Stirling (U18+) it was a given that you couldnt take any players from those clubs as they had the link, However this season saints have signed 3 from Tynie as first year U17's I must say though out of all the youth set ups and facilities East Mains is the best in the country and hopefully he will flourish there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldPoster Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 I've not been for about 2 years, do they still have the crabbies banners up on the perimeter fence to try and keep the wind out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they do, I haven't noticed them!!! Prefer when in the barn! Edited June 2, 2014 by Edstar101 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerryivy1974 Posted June 8, 2014 Report Share Posted June 8, 2014 Sorry I took this topic a bit off it's original thread about fee's, I will try and find out but can't see the info. being forthcoming, after leaving his club, my Son's team have dived I'm afraid, hopefully they are up for revival but? Up here in the North East, you don't really have club affiliations until at least u16s, one of the negatives of living in the region I suppose? Not sure if I think younger lads being tied to certain clubs at such a young age is a good thing though? I have been doing this now for 8 years, a hell of a lot changes in that time, stick to your guns and do what is best for your child? A happy child is more important than anything else in my eyes! andy rhodes fancy watch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edstar101 Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 My laddie is awfie excited......they have been told their first few games. This Saturday they have a friendly against Morton, then the 'competitive' stuff starts on 16th August against THE Rangers at home, then it's Hearts away, Dundee Utd at home then Killie away I'm personally looking forward to the games starting.....watching them training is pretty dull!!
