The clubs engagement with children of school age is excellent. They have been running their hot-shots programme for 'ever' now, and this WILL prove beneficial going forward. Some investment from the government etc with regards to youth development would be beneficial for clubs and communities across Scotland. The %age of youth playing football professionally that come from 'deprived' areas has dropped dramatically in recent years, so extra funding would help it become available to all, either by subsidising the club so they can charge less or paying for transport etc.
it's a shame there's no wealthy businessmen on this side of the bridge with deep pockets. I'd rather see inward investment in this area than someone bank-rolling a first team that have no desire other than chasing the wage. I quite like the club being used a shop window - it ensures players give there all.
