Do the academy players pay subs to play out of interest?Academy players have free entrance (as do the women's team).

Only the women players.Do the academy players pay subs to play out of interest?
I don't know the answer to that I'm afraid.Do the academy players pay subs to play out of interest?
There's also Chieck in contention to start.As the new season approaches we are currently one player away (and his position is under threat) from City fielding a starting eleven without any ECFC academy players.
With Harry Kite injured, Pedro, Sonny, and the others only likely to be bench warmers in the foreseeable, then the academy’s flag is carried by Alex Hartridge, and his position is under threat from Zak Jules. So I predict by the end of the month it will have happened.
How quick the change, from half a team last season to nearly none this. That’s progress for you!
On the plus side you can name an Academy eleven from players still plying their trade around the EFL and premiershite, (two of them being capped by their countries)
Pym
Key Ampadu Sparkes Storey
Grimes Collins Randall Jay
Stansfield Watkins
There are also the likes of Pond and Chrisene floating around and Gentleman George weaving his way back home (to North Devon not Exeter sadly)
As we know however the Future isn’t bleak with the likes of Harry Lee, Pedro, Sonny, J R Hartley, to name but a few, just sad that our continuous run is likely to come to an end shortly🥲
Or be a bench warmer.There's also Chieck in contention to start.
One could also say that the approach we are now taking, is providing playing opportunities to our best youngsters, by allowing them to go out on loan and develop their games. Last season was a nightmare for some of our young players, as they were forced to "stick around" due to injuries.Or be a bench warmer.
Yes you are right but with the recent signings I see GC’s preferred back three of Sweeney Aimson Hartridge/Jules with Chieck in the background for now.
It still doesn’t get away from the fact that wonderful streak is a hair’s breath away from being broken.
