If you're talking about losing players to other Clubs , they would already be aware of all those players without a Pen photo and Bio. And they don't play behind closed doors. As for the Media Dept ? Who knows. With how long it takes to run a site, I would think 2 kids straight out of College could cover it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s reasonable but if you follow that through to its natural conclusion you couldn’t have them on TV last night as names and live pictures were shown. We’ve also done signing on announcements for players like Bak, Duncan etc giving full names and written them up in tweets etc so I don’t think it can be that on the whole. @Northern Red they tend to give a first name for signings as opposed to a surname as well or no name for younger ones joining the academy. I think the relevant age here is 16, or 15 with parental consent. If I think about Marvin Brown playing for the first team, or at a higher level Theo Walcott they had profiles/ photos at 16. The most likely explanation is the right one - that they could do it but haven’t. Edited April 3 by Silvio Dante 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted April 3 Report Share Posted April 3 A season or so back I asked Tins if he could sort out updating the academy player webpages, and he said he’d sort it. A few days later it was done. Dunno if he did it himself, or he got someone to do it, but it doesn’t appear to be on anyone’s “to-do list”. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sleepy1968 Posted April 7 Report Share Posted April 7 Just hijacking thread to say fair play to Leeds who had a 10k+ crowd for their 4-3 win over Milwall in the other semi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1960maaan Posted April 7 Report Share Posted April 7 Just watched the FBC Pod am amazed that although the Semi Final was important enough to pull players from the U21s and the first team bench, but not important enough to travel up the night before. You have to wonder if sitting in a coach for hours on the day of the game , had something to do with the 3 lads injuries. Seems a mad decision to make. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanterne Rouge Posted 14 hours ago Report Share Posted 14 hours ago A couple of names from the past there in the scorers, I wonder if they might be sons of famous fathers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently took 6,500 to the final , whatever you think of them it's great support. I just wonder what might have been. Those early injuries should have killed us , but they stuck at it and were unlucky at times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
