Phoenix academy - how likely?

Just a thought as it was mentioned in another thread:

How likely or unlikely is it that the Nix will start an academy in the forseeable future? If likely then when? What would need to happen first (10 year A-League license I presume being one)?

Thoughts?

It would need a reserve side in whichever format.  Plans when the reserve side was mooted were for an 8 man acandemy in conjuntion with a school.

How's my driving? - Whine here

Interesting.

It could also potentially have a business case if bringing kids from Asia.

Linked to some small club somewhere I've never heard of. Nix would have better credentials.

I hope it would be like this:
 

All I do is make the stuff I would've liked
Reference things I wanna watch, reference girls I wanna bite
Now I'm firefly like a burning kite
And yousa fake fuck like a fleshlight

They were also aligned with Whitireia Polytechnic in Porirua (whom which the quals came from). I remember it being fairly successful at one stage where Wests had alot of players from all over the country playing for them, who were based at Ole. But then something happened and it was no more.

I pass it on the way to work, the signs are up but I never see very much going on there, so Ole is totally finished then?

Im pretty sure its all still there, they just dont offer the courses and qualifications they once did. Its more or less just the 2nd clubroom for Wests nowadays.

I know a few boys who went to their trials and spoke very highly of it. These are boys who didn't get selected in the end so have no vested interest.

Be interesting to see if they last the distance or not.

It all helps.
