The result the other night when a Chester team made up of one first team player and one fridge player plus the rest made up of the youth team rolled over Winsford in the Cheshire cup. Would it not be a big benefit to the club to have the older youth team players and any fridge players we have short of game time playing as Chester reserves in one of the lower non leagues, I would think it would bring the young lads on playing against men instead of rolling over other youth teams 5 or 6 nil every week. We could keep the currant youth places by playing the younger lads moving them up a year, would also give players returning from injury or players we want to have a look at some where to play. I do understand it would be down to money but I do feel as supporters we could fund this if it were viable.

I see what you're getting at, but it's not really viable. The 1st team players who aren't playing are mainly on the bench anyway, given the usual injury or suspension position.

I feel it would bring the young lads on quicker as they are just turning up and steam rolling inferior youth teams with maybe 2 or 3 hard games a season, then if given the chance they have a massive step up with the first team, I know some have eventually made it but even more might make the grade if they are are playing senior football every week, just a thought.

Just get an affiliate club at a good level who we can send players to where we know they’ll be played and in the preferred position under management we can trust.
Yes, I’ve been playing too much Football Manager!

Are you aware that the vast majority of our Under 18 players are on a loan arrangement with clubs in the North West Counties? Alongside the two Under 18s involved in the current first team squad, there are seven players getting experience of "Senior Football" on Saturdays at clubs such as Runcorn Town, Bootle, Rylands and Cammell Lairds. There are also boys getting additional men's football in the West Cheshire League. Our club's Under 18s are playing in an Under 19 division that includes two development squads from Football League clubs as well as a host of other National League and National League North sides. The vast majority of these have far greater resource than our Youth set up. The club's Under 17 group play in an Under 18 division of the Norrh West Youth Alliance with the club's Under 16s also playing in an Under 18 division in the same league structure. There is a lot more work going on than it may seem.

No changes required as its working fantastically well, the only change needed is more local business support for what the academy team achieve.

I can't think of a league that would accept a Chester FC reserve team. The Welsh National League and Welsh Alliance both have a reserve divisions, but putting a side in the NWCL would devalue that league. Eventually, Liverpool B, C and Colts will be in the Championship and leagues 1 and 2. The checkatrade thing is their way in and I abhor it. The strength of the English league is most towns and cities are represented. For God's sake let us not end up with Manchester City's 4th team taking the place of Rochdale . Please.

Actually I think your thoughts were very helpful Chesterken as it has generated an interesting debate and eventually a valuable insider comment on the current situation.
As ‘owners’ this exactly the sort of question that we should be raising for discussion so we either find out that we are maximising opportunities and skills or if not we can make changes or improvements! I think it is a very healthy argument to raise.

As Paulinem says, keep asking the questions and raising issues for debate. That's what forums can do well. I'd rather read these threads than people moaning about us losing and slagging players off. Especially when they didn't bother going to the game!

At half time in these matches people used to go over to the end of the Kop and look over and watch the 'B' team in action on the pitch (name escapes) which was later sold for an 'enormous' sum and funded our first ever promotion. Back in those days we had 4 teams I think, with the 'A' and 'B' teams playing in the Lancashire League or something like that. Of course the reserves played in the Cheshire League, which is still going albeit at a much lesser level.

I couldn't pull that name from the depths of my mind. I believe we got £290k for it, which was a fair sum back in those days, but I suppose much of that would have been used to pay off debts.
