The idea that they shouldn't have schoolboys teams because they'll take players anyway is completely wrong. This has to change. LOI clubs should have structures right up from u7s and the fact that associations condone this is appalling. Winter/summer seasons wouldn't have an impact. Doesn't for their u19 sides, why would it affect a reserve side? They do get coverage in the media, a lot more than non-LOI clubs regardless of the result. Match reports are still in the Echo while most nationals pick up their results.
