📈 The INCREDIBLE RISE of an ACADEMY that turned PRO!

[@jimcummings4392]

Another great one Sam. It is great to see success stories like this one and also the dedication of people who just love the game.

[@BestBackingTracks]

Last time I was this early Aaron Mooy still had a fringe.

[@RossParker1877]

Going to Gartcairn on Saturday. Looking forward to it

[@CammyK1872]

The acadamy / club has clearly had some good investment to get it up and running. Looks like a cracking place to train and play.

[@CoryGaynor]

Keep them coming Sam, love your content 🤌

[@mikolajYT330]

Great video Sam! Loved being there yesterday! Great experience.

[@jimspencer363]

Another entertaining video. Excellent work as always!

[@FootyAdventures]

Thanks again!

[@alch3mi5t.]

Sam is a man of the people, who say "aye" and eat square sausage. 🤜🤛

[@SapientiaHaereticae]

Lovely club ! Keep it up, young fans 👍🏻

[@barnibizer]

Excellent vid as always!! Cheers

[@StevieDCC]

Should come to Bellshill Sam, a club who’s ground burned down and where they are now is incredible. I’m a coach n the academy and that’s growing from strength to strength

[@AdrianFWImages]

Good to meet you last night Sam, good chat about the Scottish game.

[@eifelkreutz]

Great video as always Sam. Would be interested to see a video about the number of fully professional teams and number of semi-professional teams there are in Scotland, and the breakdown by league going down the pyramid. And how it is for amateur teams playing against semi-pro teams or semi-pro vs. pro, and if teams that drop down tiers are able to stay pro or semi-pro or ever revert to being amateur.

[@mboothy]

Well in the SPFL all Premiership and most of the Championship teams are full-time professional, the others and some in League 1 will be hybrid and the rest part-time. Everyone else in the pyramid is part-time but with varying amounts of money being paid to players from the bigger Lowland, East and West clubs right down to the smaller clubs paying nothing or just expenses.

The tastes like Gartcairn bit is great. Those lads loved it

[@MadderMel]

Lovely advert for the club ! And your channel is a very essential channel !

[@christopherbrown4700]

[@WeAreWombwellMain]

Another amazing story. Scottish Football is full of them

[@AlexJackson-z6j]

What a very interesting video Sam . I love these videos they are so informative

[@darrenbrown9389]

Played against Gartcairn in the Scottish Junior cup, good side. The only astro pitch I've ever seen with a slope side to side!

[@bobsteele9581]

Another great vid Sam. Not so sure about the eye-wear at the end though 🤣 Another team who originated from a football Academy fairly recently are Caledonian Braves, who were "Edusport Academy" before they were promoted to the Lowland League. Think you actually did a video on them a while back, so you obviously know that already 😁

[@Ryandunbar1996]

I was absolutely pestering Sam at one point to go to caley braves a couple of seasons ago. Great set up there. I know someone who worked there

[@ScottishT]

Great video mate

[@jamesc8024]

These remind me of a Scottish version of Stockton Town the club I am involved with.

[@BrianS5588]

Great video, but I want a pair of those glasses!

[@grahamejohnson593]

Watched a youth club team (prudhoe) play on Friday 330 there decent game great occasion

[@BALHAM69]

Nice 😅 So, four promotions so far 😊 Go Nairn county on Saturday if you can 😮 They win the north of Scottish cup against Ross county last weekend which made Ross County sack their manager 😅

[@Ryandunbar1996]

Aww the scoreboard at this level is glorious 😂😂😂😂😂

[@FootyAdventures]

Haha can’t beat a manual score board!
