    I agree that it is a step in the right direction and wholly support your emphasis on the value to the club and the area of locally produced youngsters. However, there are already good players in our youth system who have not been converted into first team players and are not likely to be unless there is a change of attitude, particularly from the management. Crewe’s investment in and devotion to the youth system should be a lesson for all. Incidentally my belief is that “local” in the academy sense means within one hour’s travelling time of Vale Park. If true that covers a vast pool of potential, even if Crewe have first pick, and even Stoke offer youngsters more chance of first team football than Vale.
