Are we working towards it in the same way we are working towards the stadium expansion? Just to clarify this is not a tongue in cheek or sarcastic post. This surely should be our main priority considering the teams with this Category 1 status will benefit most under the new proposals from the F.A? | |

I don't know, Dwight. But I'd imagine something that's completely within our control (attaining academy status) should be easier to achieve than something that isn't (expanding the stadium). | |

We had to spend millions just to get to the stage we are now. Pretty issue that Cat 1 status demands accommodation, which we are apparently trying to sort now. | | | |

It also asks for increased full time staff. Huge costs involved, but if we were to run the academy like Southampton, we'd easily get similar results, given the size of our catchment area and the lack of competition. I'm not the biggest fan of EPPP by the way, the system is a farce and it's set up to preserve the status quo IMO | |

We achieved Category 1 status in 2013 and at the time, said we were hoping to get Category 1 status within 3 years. | | | |
