Rovers have a stream of talent coming through that needs to play mens football in the first division and don't want these kids leaving to play elsewhere.
A year or two for a 16 , 17, 18 year old playing in the first division will make transition to the first team easier.
I watch a lot of underage games in Roadstone and there are kids who are ready for mens football but would struggle to get into Rovers first team as the jump from playing 18 year olds to going up against senior pros is to much.
The cost is no greater bar the fees to the fai then running an under 19's team assuming none of the players are paid.
