Ah yes, 2 syllables, sounds like anchor, I've heard it too.

Fllippin eck, is this thread real or did my mushroom omelette have the magic variety in, if it's the former and pettiness is the order of the day then the lesser teams lesser (and not first team) players have just beaten the bigger teams ( not first team players ) by a decent margin ( % trevloveshimsen can work out) apologies to the majority hull fans who read this who probably also think the thread is nonsensical twas the mushrooms, this thread is not real is it ?

Indeed. Could you post the number of SL appearances for each side? FC's oldest player was 22 (edit 24?) so our total number is quite small. Is yours in 4 figures?

Chris Heil will be older than 22 by now, surely? Unless it is a different Chris Heil, but it's not that common a surname.

24, and a Doncaster player as far as I'm aware. In the team against the French juniors we played a few Donny lads too. It helps Donny out but it's questionable what value it offers us. Who are you dual registered with? Did you play any of their lads?

Stupid local radio.

I don't really get playing Donny players either, maybe to make the numbers up, but you would think that we have players from the COHA, that could take a bench spot.

We've had arrangements with Gateshead (now Newcastle, of course) in the past but I doubt it survived relegation. I'm not clear it's even formally an option in that direction for a Championship club. Jubb and Moran are at York on loan, and Moran played tonight.

If it is helping Hull 23s fulfill fixtures I'd say there's a marginal benefit to Doncaster, but a bigger one to Hull. If everybody relies heavily on their academy teams, then your under-23 comp isn't offering much different, and reserve reserves is clearly not a sensible use of resource.
