Another reason why other 'Widnes' lads might choose to sign for another local club is money, we don't have the funding available like the clubs you mentioned. Listen pal. I'm not ignorant but I was in a meeting with Widnes regarding this 3 weeks ago and they basically told me they haven't done enough in local youth development and admitted they need to do better. I must admit I was pretty alarmed at the stuff they was saying regarding youth but I'm not going to into all the details as the meeting was exclusive. I'm not a Widnes lad but I'm told that the playing fields in Widnes are now all football pitches

First of all I'm not your pal, secondly your wrong not all the pitches in Widnes are now football pitches, and lastly after your 'exclusive' meeting you decide to post on this forum which is about as active as a nuns sex life.

Widnes currently have 30+ Widnes born lads at u13s age training twice a week a with the Academy staff at the stadium, they dont need to send out scouts they bring all the lads in so they have a look at everyone, not just the few that might catch the scouts eye on any given Sunday.

I know they have and it's called the pathway system. It was discussed in the meeting I was in attendance. They also train at Cowley in st Helen's with saints. Both are open to any child in that age range so the is good players and some woeful players.

I can also tell you that 4 of them lads are being looked at by saints, Wigan and Warrington. Two of them I have no doubt will be snapped up and it won't be for Widnes.
