It will toughen them up if nothing else as they are going to get kicked up in the air a few times!
I watch a bit of League 1 and League 2 sometimes and it ain't that pretty. Could never give up my Spurs season ticket to watch it - 5 yard passes going out for throw ins etc!.

I think that could work as a development model. Not sure what the League 1 and 2 teams will make of it.

What is a Chekatrade?
Its a website where you go to read reviews of tradesmen to check whether they are a bunch of cowboys, or not before you let them loose in your house. A bit like tripadvisor for plumbers/electricians etc

Looking at the results of last year I'm not expecting our boys to get very far as a lot of the academies got a beating. The physical nature of the long ball lower leagues seems too much to handle for Premiership Youth sides but at least it should give them a sense of perspective.

Please draw Southend United at Roots Hall. I would love a Spurs side to visit my home town once again. A visit to The Theatre of Screams would toughen.our kids up.
