im with MKFS on this. the hunter should be producing more.
not sure i agree with how he thinks it should be done, as all he seems to put forward is "not the way it is currently"
Since newcastle has only a population of around 600,000, 546,000 last census if i remember correctly.

that represents 2.61% of the population. The think Newcastle is doing alright when you put it into population terms.

Though when you put it into footballing perspective. i would like to know the quality of the newcastle between the ages 10-16 per 1000kids. I think the newcastle area would be up there. What is happening with the developemtn around 14+ ages?
