Anyone know what it involves for the club to get Cat 2 Academy status??
Just seen Steve Phillips saying he hopes the club follows City in trying to obtain it after our new owners want to look at bringing through more players from the youth side.
I take it our curent training ground probably wouldn't allow us to get it but just wondered if any fans know what would be needed.
Also would it mean that where as at the moment we can lose talented kids for next to nothing that would mean other teams having to pay more if they were to get poached.
Lets hope the last paragraph won't happen and we will be able to keep them instead of premiership team cherry picking who they want.

I'm not sure of the answer to your questions but I assume if they want to invest in academy this will, hopefully, lead to some kind of new training ground. Wow, how things have changed in just a matter of days.

Wow, how things have changed in just a matter of days. I agree mate. So many things that the club will hopefully improve on. I know its not gonna be over night but its exciting times to be a Gashead now. Would love to see some posters around Bristol promoting the club like City have done. |

Is this the different between school of excellence and academy?

Believe it or not there is only 1 category 1 academy in Bristol. And it is neither City or Rovers.

We need to own our own land for it first. Renting the facilities off a school at Goldem Hill (our current academy/U21 setup) won't cut it. The facilities there are very basic.
