[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Back on topic. If WS wants to fix the issue of not having the pipeline others do permanently, offer material incentives. More interaction with the pro team, to include actual training, gifting of sponsored products, subsidizing smaller costs in the short term (for example, uniforms and travel costs/meals), growing to partial and full subsidy as time and profitability emerges/grows. The tangible benefit of being associated with the pro team has to be larger than the two GAP sessions and wearing the same kit/sharing the same name as the pro team and having training that is the rough equivalent of the competing elite environments. Making these small but material changes at the margins should be able to help grab the 3-4 players per age group needed to level the field, and more significant subsidies would help elevate the club to DCU like status on the boys side. It's really not that complicated, nor is the reason for the current struggle that deep.[/quote] Except for the fact that Spirit's profit margins are likely razor thin. [/quote]
