pie n beans Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 20 hours ago, HibeeJibee said: In terms of the U20s league... all the clubs which completed last season have returned (plus Preston who folded partway through). Gala and Kelty have also put teams in. Of the "first wave" of new EOS clubs 10 out of 13 have put a team in: all except Bonnyrigg, Crossgates and Easthouses. In contrast, of the "second wave" of new EOS clubs only 2 have put a team in: Newtongrange and Sauchie. Unless you've already got an U19s team plus your own venue, it's probably difficult to put the arrangements together at short notice. I'd imagine you'll see a similar level of take-up next season especially from the larger central belt clubs. (In mentioning Bonnyrigg there it's also worth saying there is a separate SYFA U21s League. Traditionally it was larger than the EOS equivalent - which at its nadir had only a handful of teams - but in recent times has badly contracted. Last season it was down to just 4 clubs - Bonnyrigg, Leith, Newtongrange [unsure if this is their team joining Lowland & EOS U20s] and a club called Murieston). Linlithgow have some very good and well organised youth teams, these could be easily integrated to the Rose if the youth teams were interested in joining, its something that needs put into place to progress the club as a whole, someone made the comment about late getting application going in and that will have something to do with it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The benefits to all are very apparent to most. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GordonS Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Any dreamers out there? There are 2,700 clubs in the Dutch football pyramid. That would equate to about 700 here. They typically each have a grass pitch, an artificial pitch and fixed assets worth 2-3 million Euros. They employ at least one UEFA licensed coach to take their male and female age-grade teams. 7% of the population are members of the KNVB, who spend - ready for this? - 1 billion Euros per year on grass-roots football.Towns like Linlithgow, Bo'ness, Bathgate etc are each the perfect size for this model.And before anyone says the Netherlands are rubbish now, remember that just 4 years ago they were a penalty shoot-out away from back-to-back World Cup finals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And before anyone says the Netherlands are rubbish now, remember that just 4 years ago they were a penalty shoot-out away from back-to-back World Cup finals. Structure there is quite good, there are major issues in the pyramid system though, at the top of non league as many very conservative clubs don't want to get promoted and refuse to play on Sundays. However, other than that, Dutch non-league is quite well set up. Each town generally has their own club with a youth set-up, often working together in a regional youth programme. It's a system that seems to work. The likes of Arjen Robben, Dirk Kuijt & Ruud van Nistelrooij came through a local non-league club and such a regional youth set-up, only to be picked up by a professional team fairly late. Coaching is often of a good standard at fairly low level teams as well. There is no reason why Scotland, or even just starting in the east, can learn from this model. Non-league here is generally better supported than over there as well (relative to the size of the country obviously). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taken a couple of youth teams there for Easter tournaments and the set ups are brilliant. I think the main difference is that the local government have to spend around 10% of their budget on sports facilities each year, so there is money available in Holland 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At that time Dutch were far and away better equipped than we were then and only in the last possibly 10 years have we shown any willingness to improve our methods.
