'Homegrown' rule gets thumbs up

FOOTBALL League clubs voted to introduce a ‘Home Grown Players’ rule, as proposed by The Football League Board, at a specially arranged EGM of clubs at Derby yesterday. The new rule will come into effect from the beginning of next season.

Without understanding the fine mechanics of the system; I think this is superb news for Barnsley footballers.

Knowing your players is one thing - however, I've always been a massive fan of using the England "B" system for so-called "Championship" and "below" players. Maybe this will give us the chance to experiment with more authority?
