Swansea building new academy in North cardiff

Pinching all out talented youngsters

Wtf - it will be burnt down

Swansea scouts at all my sons games as are Bristol City, both clubs really active and approach parents all the time to see how each individual player is progressing

What team is this

So what is our club doing about it? Who is in charge of this at Cardiff City? Anyone know??

I would be more worried about Newport county can see them overtaking us must have over 50 Cardiff boys in there academy.

Don't worry there's always the Malaysian youngsters

Not sure about building an Academy in North Cardiff but they are running coaching sessions in Heath Park via their academy. They invited all the schools in Cardiff/Vale and clubs to put forward players for trials, some of which took place on Saturday at their training facility up the road from the Liberty Stadium. Why Cardiff cant offer the same opportunities is beyond me.

Just like Cardiff have academy training sessions in the west country and west Wales don't know why this is a big deal

Stop panicking 99.9% in either academy will end up playing parks football anyway......

I see it as a positive for welsh football, the more youngsters getting signed up to clubs the better in my opinion

better that the 3 Welsh teams keep all the Welsh talent if possible, does it really matter which of the 3 academy's the young players play for so long as they are being properly nurtured to be the very best they can be

I agree to a point, & it doesn't seem that long ago that clubs like Bristol Rovers & Luton Town had a network of scouts in S. Wales, taking advantage of promising young footballers at the time.

Where in North Cardiff?

I am a big Cardiff fan and my nephew is very talented he's 10 years old and after about 3 months of trying to city scouts to come and take a look at him his mum and dad give and Swansea signed him up and from what I hear from his parents they say he has big future he's already playing for there under 12 and scoring 60 plus goals a season

Probably end up playing parks football, I've been hearing the same story for years, there are probably 10's of thousands of family's around the re thinking they have the next Bale, sadly 99.99% won't get anywhere.......

Don't worry there's always the Malaysian youngsters
