Two things I noticed in last two days with the Youth of Bristol.
First was yesterday, I've got to get bus to and from work at the moment.Anyway, I'm on the 17 home to Kingswood.I get on the bus at fishponds road and sit in front of about 10 Rovers youth team members.
All kitted out in gas kit and holding official BRFC documents.
I hear two kids (16-17 years old talking about past games and yesterdays events.Anyway, I got off at the stop in staple hill as one boy that was talking got off also, and I was shocked at how out of shape he was when he walked in front of me.
He looked about 16 years old, about 5,9 inch tall and must had been 14 plus stone.I know he is a kid and it's not a water take but he walked with a clubbed foot and did not look like he belonged to a professional football club outfit even at youth level.
I get he could he the next Ronaldo or at least a L2 future player for us, but it shocked me how out of shape he was.
So how good is our youth set up currently given what I saw?
....
And 2nd, today also after work I walked home thru a park near my house in Kingswood and saw a full side game going on between teen kids after school.
I watched about 10mins of it, decent standard tbf - but I was shocked at how many boys were wearing Sh1!heads shirts...on both teams.
In deep Gas land, I see as many Gas shirts as City now .
Now that's an Issue.
