A lot of the under 18's games are played on an outside pitch rather than in the academy stadium so I guess City are not keen (not bothered) about a crowd turning up to watch. For games to be played in the stadium they fo advertise them but maybe they could do better but it does seem somehow City fans never have been great at turning up for youth games, compered to some other clubs.
Big game for the 18's next wedesday though in the youth cup against Liverpool and definitely in the academy stadium.
I started going to youth team games when the A and B team played on the police ground at Cheadle. I use to go to Platt Lane and Maine Road if they held games there. I think I`ve even met you at Carrington and watched the first team train before they put up the green covering to stop people watching.
Now I`m retired I hope to go to more youth team games. I will hopefully be able to get there on Wednesday.
