your having a laugh in mccall helping set up the youth system,
the original set up was for a community set up on a Saturday morning coaching the kids 5 years and up to 12 ,with the 12 being our first u/13 the following year .
this would have taken us about 6 years to develop the kids to up to 19s .
but was knocked back by the club for the old fashion way of starting a under 19s, 17s then 16s and so on
i'm not sure but i take it our players are just the lads from rose vale bc.
i have two grandsons playing at hampden {toryglen} on a Sunday morning at under 5s upwards
training twice a week ,
costing £20 each a month how i would have gladly given this to thistle to do this
some players will make it to pro football some wont,
but if you treat the kids right there is a good chance they will come back and support the club,
thistle are such a big club that the we would attract plenty of young lads wanting to be trained by thistle
the set up is a a farce look at stennys,falkirk and hamilton to see how a real youth set up is run.
its just a never ending stream of young players coming thru for them all the time.
