Fantastic news. Set them up all over Wales, produce talent and keep them all with our youth squad. Loan them out to Newport, Wrexham, Colwyn bay, Merthyr Town to get real match experience.
Like it or lump it the Swans continue to grow.
Fantastic training ground down landore and Fairwood, just need that stadium bigger now and more news like these academies popping up everywhere.
Da iawn Abertawe!!!! [Post edited 22 Sep 2014 23:24]

Yep. This exactly. Continue to grow the empire and put the infrastructure in place and it can only ever be a positive thing in years to come. |  |

The idea of nicking talented kids from under the Jamrags noses leaves me all warm and tingly inside. |  |

Jamrags...........love that term.
Great news though, are the basseys still running camps up at play football? fcked right off when I went to play 5 a-side up there last season and saw what was going on. Even saw someone who I thought was a staunch Jack wearing a redturd top as he was / is a coach for them!! |  |

Most of those camps for us aren't academy related, more glorified soccer schools. Any real talent goes into the academy structure whilst lickle Johnny gets to believe they played for a football club. |  |

Great to see-and a couple of lads with Swans away shirts too. I grew up in Treorchy (though born and lived in Neath until 7) and it is a Cardiff stronghold. There have always been a few enlightened people there- always outnumbered yet proud to follow the Swans. Given the way some chumps on CCMB pour contempt on to the valleys, then there is a long-term potential to tap into the Cynon and Rhondda Valleys in particular for both players and fans. It's not all meat-headed 'roiders. | |

The Canton Jamrags to give them their full title. | |

The number of young players who "make it" from the Eastern Valleys of South Wales is negligible,great area for the growth industry of "football coach" though nice earner. | | | |

This may be true, but by any standards 2 of the greatest ever Swansea players (Curt and Jack Fowler) were both Rhondda boys. | |

You can add Johnny King and Roy Paul to that and that's the lot from the Rhondda,I know there were Alan Wilkins/Keith Evans in the 60's as well but they never made it big time.Lets hope these new academies unearth more gems because they are there. | | | |

Awesome stuff from the swans . They only need to spot one or two gems and point them in the direction of emyr hughs,Joe Allen and Ben Davies to prove our system can be one of professional fulfillment .
Well done swans ! |  | | |

They run a 35 seater from there most weeks now.
Plus a large number come by train.
Times are def changing all over east Wales. |  |

A big difference in east and west wales is since we've been in the prem and you see a photo from any school or soccer camp almost every single child is wearing a swans kit bar the odd one or two in lfc or man you. looking at those kids in that picture only a couple are in cardiff shirts none in newport colours and almost as many in swans kits as kerdiff.
the revolution is almost complete in west wales and slowly east wales will turn black and white in 20 years I'd imagine places like Bridgend and many of the valley in rct will also be B&W and that is something they fear more than anything |  | | |

Roy Paul of course. A friend of my mum's family. There have been a few others who have played League Football but not reached the dizzy heights | |
