Cardiff and Vale School Boys are Supported and Sponsored by CARDIFF CITY,BRISTOL CITY and BRISTOL ROVERS.

They All then get First Choice to take any of these Boys in their Full Academies .

I thought it would just be Cardiff City, interesting and VERY SURPRISED .

Jason, Your right Just spoke to someone very high up and he said Cardiff have been for the last 3 years letting all the young talent pass them by. City have shown NO INTEREST FOR THE LAST 3 YRS.

I know a couple of lads from Barry & the Vale that play, or have had trials, for Bristol. Never knew they had say on our youth players. Very surprised and disappointed with that. I bet we don't get a say or take on Bristol schools kids, do we?

Something should be done about this.

I thought Steve Borely was keen on youth development. If we are so bad at the moment I'm surprised that he's allowed this to happen.

Rovers have taken the best of the Valleys talent for years, especially in the 70's.
