It would certainly be fantastic as a lot of other clubs do it. With our new facilities should be well worth looking at

You'll be glad to hear that the Wisbech Town Player Development Centre (PDC) has been resurrected and will run teams from Under-8 right up to Under-16.

Management for the overall scheme, as well as the indivdual teams, is in place and hopefully I'll be able to bring more news on this shortly.

The plan is that the teams will play 'friendlies' against other PDC and Academy sides (such as those run at Peterborough and Northampton) on a monthly basis. 

I don't have anymore details at the moment, but if anyone has any questions, I can try to find out.

That is great news for the Youth of the area and the future of the Club

That is good news and with the player base we have in our local youth teams we should have a good crop of players come through which is all good for the football club, with solid foundations there aint no reason why we cant achieve to aim high, Lets hope this season is the start of a upward step for the football club.

 I too would put my name forward if they needed any help within the PDC.

 Wouldnt one way around this problem with the local village teams to be to have a meeting with all the managers and coaches of the village youth set ups and have a representative from Wisbech PDC explain to them how they plan to run things and how it would benefit players from their clubs to attend these sessions. Maybe if they are told that under no circumstances are we looking to pinch their players but to look at it more like international duty for the premiership, some managers dont like releasing their players for international training sessions or matches but it is how players develop and is what will drive the club forward in the future.

 A PDC for our club is a must and although it may be a hard task to take on Im sure it will benefit the club in future years which is what we are all after

a meeting should have happened 4 years ago when it started but hey thas the past ,ive got 6 of my under 15s for this season there trainin with timmy buck and hes a good coach and a good bloke so im more than happy with the lads that are there trainin wiv bucky.so when people say we were against it we were against the way it  was set up at the time .

but now good luck to bucky and his pdc boys he doin a gr8 job with them and specially now at this dodgy age.

its all in the past as far as im concerned m8 .older and a bit wiser i think maybe if a meeting was set up with local club sides you could av chat with managers just to let them no the score ,just an idea but i no things may not have been so frosty between st marys and the town if we had 1 back then m8.

I put that down to a lack of communication yes. but we all learn by our mistakes in life at least those of us who except that we have made them.And that is not aimed at you individually but those who cant except So lets hope it moves forward and lets not forget the real people who it effects (the kids) hope you have a good season with your lads sure you will best of luck.
