Just to be clear I was not advocating scrapping the academy, As others have mentioned with no reserve games, we need something to be a bridge to the first team.
Isn't that what non league clubs miles below us in the pyramid like Telford are for?

Didn't we have a few players train with us during the week and then play every week for Bridgnorth Town lower down the pyramid to gain experience in the men's game back in the 90s. Kev Seabury was one I'm sure.
Would it worthwhile to use clubs like Telford, Bridgnorth, Alport or Shifnal to blood a few of our prospects? One month rolling loans could be worth looking at.
We did have a 'relationship' with Telford a few years ago, not sure if that has died a death. The idea was we would loan out our promising youngsters and then have first pick of any of their decent players, there hasn't been a lot of success on that front (I think the only player who went to them was Kade Craig) Suspect the relationship died when Cowan left Telford.
