One for ed1 I think, just read the echo and Neil critchley said he’d never met AOC before. I found that a bit of a shock, obviously naively, I would have presumed a coach of a senior side like the 23’s would have been in and around melwood and the 1st team coaching staff and training sessions a fair bit. Obviously the new training facilities will change things, but are the 1st team really that isolated from the rest of the club and coaching staff?

{Ed001's Note - they can be yes. Though a lot of that will be down to Ox being away for surgery and rehab etc. That is one of the reasons for wanting one integrated training facility.}

I don't think people realise the impact of our youth playing in the same facilities as the 1st team! to see them play everyday next to them will give them the motivation and belief.

given Ajax's recent exposure to the media, people only need to read about the way their youth setup is, how all the pitches play alongside each other.

you want a frictionless difference between U5's to first team.
