There's probably some good away days in the conference south.....

How many do you think we'd take to Truro?

Probably a lot more than most of us would expect. It would be the game of choice for the “one away game a season, weekend away with the family” carravaning crowd we have as long as it’s not in mid winter.

We always seem to have one away game every season where I look around and go “who are these people?”. This year there’s been two: Blackpool & Pompey. That’s another thing, we do like the seaside, don’t we? I guess being further from a coastline than any other town in Britain must have something to do with it?

Hugo Logan now gone on loan to Hitchin in the 7th tier. They're getting even lower in the pyramid.
That's Tilney, Furlong, Nombe and Logan that have been loaned out this season to the 6th tier or below, not even getting games in the National League.

I’m not sure it’s such a big issue as you’re making out. While I’d be concerned* about the training facilities & coaching at said clubs, I believe they still spend the bulk of the week training with us.

The whole point of these loans is getting them used to playing against grown men in a match situation. That’s not going to make as much difference whether it’s Conference, Conference North/South or Evo-Stick leagues. Their technical “development” is still overseen by us.

*-for all I know they may be better than Woughton and have staff with UEFA Pro licences.

Surely another big plus is that these clubs are reasonably local. They could commute from home if they wanted. We have seen how home sickness can affect youngsters coming into our own team from afar, so perhaps it’s better that their first loan spell is nearby.

Scored another 2 today and got man of the match. 3 goals in 2 games for him.
