Like to think it did the trick.Just got my Harrowgate scarf and rosette.
Whilst I don't think it will stop the flow per se but it will make life more difficult. Of course being in a higher division makes us more attractive, so, as usual they're talking nonsense. That said, Argyle have "taken" a number of under 16s from Exeter over the years. I think Ben Purrington and his brother were both at City Academy and ended up at Argyle.Just looked at pasoti to have a laugh and there's a thread on there about our promotion with comments about how we'll start to struggle now they've stopped the flow of players to our academy?
Their U18s have won the league and beat ours twice in league (I believe) so I fear they may have taken the advantage.Whilst I don't think it will stop the flow per se but it will make life more difficult.

Someone with a better memory will be able to confirm a few more I'm sure.
I was wondering that this year. We've clearly had a good number graduating from the youth to the first team (and beyond) over the last few years. I just hope it doesn't dry upTheir U18s have won the league and beat ours twice in league (I believe) so I fear they may have taken the advantage.
Their No1 goalie is an Exonian I believe.
He is, but I believe he slipped through the net as it were and was never at the city academy.Their U18s have won the league and beat ours twice in league (I believe) so I fear they may have taken the advantage.

Didn't we play our U16s against them, the older players were all getting experience elsewhere against more worthy opposition !Their U18s have won the league and beat ours twice in league (I believe) so I fear they may have taken the advantage.
