I am a neighbour to one of the owners, and he told me it was being refurbed and would re-open when completed. Dont know time scale though.

Booklet with individual tear off matchday tickets.

Was down there at 9.15... all 12 windows open, no more than 10 min wait to get served although you may need to show a little patience at the window as there are a lot of new staff there learning their trade. ps One free Ajax ticket per season ticket.... i got three!!

Also heard that Strachans wife was seen in a city centre dept store buying tons of household goods/curtains etc... maybe moving back into the home they still have in Warsash?!

The major advantage is that Academy teams get to play against other Academy teams ie Chelsea, Arsenal, Spurs etc. Therefore playing against the best in their respective age groups creates stronger players than playing against center of excellence sides that only compete against other center of excellence sides such as Swindon, Bournemouth etc. Bit long winded... but you get the idea!
