Quote ="TheRealist"I honestly beleive that these kids have left the WTW Academy because they were 'sold short' by the hierarchy and advised 'not to get an agent'. What is the problem taking advise of an agent (these don'tcharge any fees until a player is 19) if you are willing to offer the player a fair deal. Also, the boys recieved 1 set of kit to last them at least three training sessions per week and had no winter kit issued yet they were expected to train in the snow at Crofton, this wouldn't be an issue if you are given the right kit. If WTW want to keep their best academy players then they need to stop 'doing things on the cheap', and for all 0ther 1873 members you need to be asking 'where is my money going' because it isn't going on getting the boys the right tools to do the job, is it on coaches wages??? You look at Warringtons facilities for instance and they are a world apart from Wakefields. It's simple, most of these kids were happy with the coaching at Wakefield but when you go above that they were sold short, is a decent bit of kit too much to ask, even if you got a decent discount in the club shop most parents would subsidise getting kit but the club offers nothing, they are doing a job for the club, they should be provided with enough kit to last them.......'"
Yes i too would ask this, what are we getting, where does the money go, all we are told is its to develop the youth team, can someone put some meat on the bone so to speak.
