Boro appoint new Youth Coach
July 27, 2008 130 Comments
With a lot of talk over the last few weeks about what is happening with Stevenage Borough’s youth system and the EFCO, Phil Wallace has announced that Colin Read, formerly of Tottenham and West Ham has been appointed as Youth Manager. Read spent some time at the club last season as reserve team manager. The club have been looking for someone to manage the youth side since Darren Sarll left the club to join Brentford and with the appointment of Read, Boro look to have got a good experienced coach in to take the academy further. Steve Greaves, who was an academy assistant at Ipswich, can also help Boro as Phil Wallace plans for the future.
Wallace obviously wants to completely transform the youth system at the club as it is just not developing players good enough to play for the club.
“What I’d like to see is a select group of six players aged 18-19 years old that we give full contracts to each year, in addition to anyone that may excel in the EFCO scheme. These players will probably have been rejected by Football League and/or Championship clubs, just as George Boyd was, or come from our own School of Excellence and be the best talent that we can find. Possibly even from overseas. We will contract these six as full time pros, provide digs and see how they do with a year of intensive full-time training alongside the first team squad.”
It’s interesting how this summer seems to have seen a lot of change with regards to the coaching set up and youth academy. When Peter Taylor left he said he had given the chairman a few pointers where he felt the club could improve upon.
“As for the club itself, the support is good and the training facilities are okay. There were one or two things I said to Phil about which need improving.”
It certainly looks like Wallace has taken them points on board as he looks to try and get Stevenage into the football league. The coaching set up is arguably the strongest it has ever been. I can’t remember having 5 different coaches as well as a separate youth coach ever before. The playing squad is also, again, big compared to other clubs in the division. At the moment we have potentially 9 players who can play up front! It also makes you wonder if Westley has come in not just as manager, but also to help finance the club as well?
Im sure some of you would have seen my views on this on Borochat and Borobuzz, but Wallace has completly changed his mind on the first statement he made. He said he will give pro’s to 5/6 youngsters and see how they do alongside anyone who excels from EFCO/AVC and then recently decides to have trials for new U18 players. So now we are going to have a U18 side and academy that is run directly by the club, alongside the EFCO scheme and the AVC academy. AVC have already payed the club for use of there brand, so the club have to fulfil this even if they have had a change of heart. The problem is, the new U18 squad will not be of the same standard of the EFCO U18/U19 squad, because not only have most of the EFCO boys come from pro clubs, they have been together a good two/three years now, and also the elite squads from the academy, are all playing under the AVC banner of Stevenage Boro next season, so at the moment it looks like Wallace’s youth teams are going to be weaker than Mick Every’s and Robbie O’keefe’s.
An open meeting is being held at North Herts College in Stevenage on Thursday 31st July at 7pm run by AVC to explain the situation.
To be honest we won’t be able to attract the “better” younger players until we reach the football league anyway. He does seem to have changes his stance though.
More news on the youth players can be seen on the link below.

I dont understand tho all these statements are so confusing. In one part it says the new U18 squad will form the backbone of the Reserves and FA youth cup but then he says “I would expect the current EFCO lads to provide a majority of the squad if they have already gone through a selection process with AVC Sports, but there’s room for new lads.”
So AVC/EFCO run are running four sides next season. Two U18 sides and two U19 sides, with one U18 and U19 squad being the ” Elite Squads” and the other two being more “Developmental” squads.
How is there room for new lads when EFCO have already had trials and it is general knowledge that the AVC/EFCO scheme represent Stevenage Boro, so surely he will just get the rejects from EFCO turn up
I think what is happening is that the “50″ players on trial this week for the U18 side will make up the backbone of this season’s reserve and youth team. I assume that within this 50 are players from the EFCO who have already gone through some sort of selection process.
I don’t really see a point in contiuning to speculate about this till the meeting coming up but the EFCO boys are not attending the trial, as they are already at the club through AVC/EFCO.
How can he say that there are not enough youth team players coming through from the academy and EFCO/AVC when in our current squad we Liam McDevitt, Zak Burke, George Brinkman, Jack Bradshaw and Scott Balderson, who have all recently signed pro, bar Bradshaw who signed last year. Maybe somebody should point out to Mr Wallace that Barnet are in the Football League and run exactly the same type of scheme with the Protec academy at Potters Bar/Southgate and are doing fine producing young players. The way Wallace is going, it is going to be AVC Sports/EFCO who want to pull away from the club, and they will find another similar club who appreciates the work they do. Maybe when Westley fields the likes of Brinkman this season, who will play a first team role, Wallace will see that the set-up is working.
SGMBoro, I can provide full profiles for the newly signed pro’s and reserve team/youth team players if you would like?
Yeah that would be great. My knowledge of the reserves/youth team isn’t the greatest. If you email sgmboro@hotmail.co.uk then I’ll put them up. Thanks.
SGMBoro, I can provide full profiles for the newly signed pro’s and reserve team/youth team players if you would like?
Could you do this for me id like to see what youths might come tho this year
I’ve updated the Reserves & Youth page which gives profiles for some players. It is still a work in progress, but hopefully should give you some good information.
Reserves & Youth Link
I follow a lot of youth football i would like to see Warren Garcia given the chance to exel,i see him a lot last season for under 18 and he was by far the best player in that league,i am suprised this lad as not been snapped up by a league club if i was stevenage i would get this boy tied to a contract as i have not seen a youth player this good for a while,

If this is the case why as he not been givin a contract to to him down ,,OR are we going to wait for someone else to take him away,it would not cost the club anything to sign him ,im sure warren as left the avc ps efco to train with stevenages youth,But if his as good as your saying then why are we Waiting,Come on wallace Sign him.
This boy is not a bad player only time well tell if his going to make it,he was very good for his under 18s last year he also played a lot of football for the 19s.
We have been told today at college that warren garcia arron jelly Dean Auburn have all left the youth set up .this will be a big loss to the team .good luck lads
That’s a shame as they all seem to have good futures in the game. I might be wrong, but haven’t all 3 recently played for either the reserves or youth team?
Yes your right they have and its a shame for the whole youth set up i know 3 players dont make a team .but they are 3 very strong players and im sure there are more youth players on there way out i was told that warren garcia as gone to brackly town ,as his a player who needs the ball on the floor and the coach. which was keeping him out of the game .big shame .arron jelly was told to leave the side because he told colin reed that he did not like to just keep humping the ball over the top ,
yes it true warren garcia as moved to brackley town .yes your right he could not get on with the way colin reed was trying to get him to play .colin wanted everything over the top and warren loves to play on the floor.also warren was told weeks ago that he would be training with the young pros on a monday to help his fitness as the only training he was getting was on a tue and friday night .but as promised by colin this did not happen.there is alot of unrest in the youth team .for some reason colin as it in for the old avc player WHY i dont know as he tryed his best to get them to stevenage so im not really sure why this is .all i do know is they have lost 3 very good players
Thanks for the information. I’ll remove the players’ profiles from the “Reserves” page then. If anybody could email me an updated squad list for the youth team then that would be highly appreciated. Thanks.
A lot of the SBFC U18 School of excellence players, are unhappy with Colin Read and especially the AVC/EFCO boys as they have had first hand expierence of how it should be run. Grant Beckwith is also on the way out,and will be leaving the school of excellence and just playing for SBFC U19′s run by AVC/EFCO in the football conference youth league. Auburn is continuing with SBFC U19′S at AVC as well.
Also the SBFC EFCO “B” team are second in the Southern Counties floodlit youth league, whilst the school of excellence are mid table. AVC/EFCO are also now feeding lots of youngsters into league clubs academies such as Brentford, Orient, Watford, Ipswich etc, as a result of Stevenage Boro’s “new plan” for there own independtly run academy which so far has been a disaster. http://www.stevenageboroyouthfc.co.uk/
Yes i really dont understand colin read.He tryed his hardest to get the Avc boys to stevenage then for som reason had it in for them.can some one tell me does the first team play football on the floor or do they go over the top all the time .
because the only way colin read wants to play is over the top .so if the first team do play like this then maybe thats why colin is getting the youth team to do the same.
Last week colin read told a youth player at half time to f off out of the changing room and dont come back because the boy would not play over the top because there was no one there is this the way forward for our youth team .I DONT THINK SO .the man is like a sunday league manager.i think mr wallace is wasting his time and money on somone like this he has forced our best players out of the club .and what i say is the players should of stayed at avc to start.God bless u colin
I agree Mr Wallace is wasting his time and money on Colin Reid, the man has caused so much unrest with the U18′s he must go before he does any more damage. Four of the best players left in one week because of him, he tried his hardest to win them over from AVC and when he did he treated them like dirt. All the AVC lads became a thorn in his side and one by one he has hounded them out in one way or another. They are all good footballers and have been playing the game since learning to walk and have spent time at pro clubs and AVC and been coached by far better coaches than Mr Reid thats why they are that good but all Mr Reid wants is for them to play over the top. This is a big big loss for the U18′s how dare MR REID carry on like this and be able to get away.
Well I know as a fact even the chairman and Mr Reid were calling the avc/efco boys up trying to persuade them to join them, but when a few of them did join, Colin Reid became paranoid about them still being with AVC as well, and thought they had a hidden agenda which is stupid.
If I was Phil Wallace I would look at the AVC/EFCO scheme, and maybe not look at how many players are playing first team football from it but look at how good the coaching is etc compared to the school of excellence. SACK COLIN READ, SCRAP THE SCHOOL OF EXCELLENCE, AND GIVE ALL THE PLAYERS FROM THE U18′S THE CHANCE TO JOIN THE AVC/EFCO SCHEME THEN WILL WE BE ABLE TO ACTUALLY PLAYER SOME DECENT PLAYERS IN THE RESERVES FROM AVC LIKE PREVIOUS YEARS. ALSO THE ARGUMENT DOES NOT STAND THAT AVC/EFCO ARE NOT PRODUCING PLAYERS BECAUSE SCOTT BALDERSON JUST PLAYED FOR AUSTRALIA U20′S.
YES I AGREE SACK COLIN REID TODAY IF YOU AGREE LEAVE A REPLY TO THAT AFFECT
SACK HIM
SACK COLIN READ NOW HE PUTTING ALL THE PLAYERS DOWN GET HIM OUT NOW
sack colin reid now he is putting evrybody down and treating all the avc and the outsiders like dirt.
colin needs to get sacked
I FINK THE WHOLE YOUTH SYSTEM IS A FUCKED UP BECAUSE OF COLIN REID MAKING PLAYERS LEAVE AND IT COST US BECAUSE WE LOST ON MONDA IN THE FA YOUTH CUP
I am a member of the youth team i think every thing said about colin is true he puts all the players down he makes us stand in the cold in training for hours and we play rubbish football over the top all the time. He criticizes other teams about long ball but then tells us to do the same what kind of football is that and what type of coaching is this. The chairman want to offer 6 players pros but wen they step up the only ball they can play is over the top not on the ground. I think he needs to get sacked asap for the future of the youth set if u want to have any players left by the end of the season or even xmas
ALL OF YOU THAT ARE TALKIN ABOUT ME,WELL HOW ABOUT SAYIN IT TO MY FACE WHY DONT YUR!!!
COLIN RUINES PEOPLES FOOTBALL CAREERES
When things aren’t going well its easy to look too blame others and that is what players do all the time. Coiln Reid has vast experience of dealing with youth and senior players. Also producing players that have gone on to play in the Premiership and Championship. I have no axe to grind as it appears a lot of people do. Quite simply find another club and leave if your not happy there are plenty of other players that will become available to fill the places.
Colin is a great coach! I think he will help me progress and play for Manchester United in front of Ronaldo
Jahmel who? I don’t remenber you as a player!!!!
colin read is good coach by the way i’ve got the fattest head in the world
colin read is a disaster as our manager he needs to go now. before he makes me not get a pro contract.
Come on who is responsible for this out burst against Coiln Reid? We all know what he is !!! unfortunately all the above comments about him are true if only the top management at Stevenage Boro new this before they employed him or even now read this and did something about it before any more players leave. But to all those who have left comments please have the decentcey to leave your comments in your own name or as annomyous if you have something to say.
Robbo you may not have an axe to grind, you obviously have not be on the receiving end then have you. Some of the lads who have gone have been with Stevenage or Avc for a good few years working and training hard consitently to keep their place in the team Colin Reid arrives and within a couple of months all hell breaks loose boys are leaving on a weekly basis. They can’t all be wrong can they? SOMEBODY IN THE KNOW PLEASE INFORM THE MANAGEMENT AT STEVENAGE WHAT IS GOING ON. It is not that easy to walk into another club just like that at this stage in the boys careers as all other clubs are committed to their own players for the next year or two as should Stevenage be, instead their all leaving.
all dis is jus a waste of time why dnt people jus stay focuses on their football nd make it do the talkin instead of players cumin on dis website chattin crap,shit nd rubbish,the trainin session cud b shambles sometimes bt as times goes on collin wud adjust nd gt 2 know the players better im a player for the youth team
all colin does is talk in training he is a rubbish manager i wonder why he got kicked out of west ham and spurs about let people make thier football do thier talking you are proberbly one of the ones that colin just loves so much you dont need to worry for what you do.but others are suffering from this club so colin really should go before xmas
I hope ppl writing all this rubbish on this page won’t make Colin change in any way. Colin is a gd manager all this talk about AVC always gettin startin line up to him bein the reason we are out the FA youth cup it is all rubbish, Colin has taught has not to look to any1 else but yourselves. Colin brings the experience of managin top clubs so whatever he has certain ppl doin it’s for their own good not his.
What? your talking rubish yourself. What do you know! you know nothing of the history that has taken place your obviously a new starter with stevenage so good luck you will need it. Do your homework and get your facts right!!!
ANNONYMOUS, HAS YOUR SON LEFT THE CLUB? IF SO THEN WHY ARE YOU BOTHERING TO POST MESSAGESS. IF YOU ARE STILL AT THE CLUB AND YOU ARE NOT HAPPY GO AND SPEAK WITH COLIN REID. IF YOUR SON IS GOOD ENOUGH HE WILL FIND ANOTHER CLUB BECAUSE ANY CLUB THAT HAS A PROGRESSIVE STANCE WILL ALWAYS LOOK TO BRING IN PLAYERS THAT ARE BETTER THAN WHAT THEY HAVE GOT SO THAT ARGUMENT OF IT NOT BEING EASY TO FIND ANOTHER CLUB JUST DOES NOT STAND UP. NO ONE IS HOLDING A GUN TO ANYONES HEAD NO PLAYER AT THIS STAGE WOULD HAVE SIGNED A CONTRACT ONLY A REGISTRATION FORM. SO THE CLUB IS NOT HOLDING YOU OR YOUR SON AGAINST YOUR WILL SO EITHER SHUT UP AND GET ON WITH IT OR MOVE ON IT IS REALLY THAT SIMPLE.
IF YOU HAVE A BACKBONE WRITE TO MR. WALLACE ABOUT YOUR CONCERNS DON’T ASK SOMEONE IN THE KNOW TO DO IT FOR YOU.
Touch a nerve did I?
Not really fella, can’t answer the questions can you? Looks like I hit your nerve, son not good enough to hold down a place? not good enough to move on? bitter and twisted? Living in the past?
Never mind you could always get a life!!!!!!!!!
Bitter and twisted! That’s good coming from someone who sounds like you do!! What’s your problem was the message directed at you personally or have you taken offence for some other reason!!!! this is a blog site for people (general public, players, supporters, club members etc) to voice their opinions and comments if you can’t handle it don’t read them, but with an attitude like yours you sound as if your used to taking abuse. Wonder who you could be!!!!!!!!!hey
HIT A NERVE? OOOOHHHH!!!!!!
PUT YOUR HANDBAG AWAY AND JOG ON!!!!!!
KEEP HIDING BEHIND YOUR MESSAGES, IF YOU THINK YOU KNOW WHO I AM FRONT ME UP, YOU COWARD!!!!!!!!!
Are’nt you a nasty piece of work? If your no coward who are you!!!!!!!
Ladies please put an end to this both of you are being really silly come on, anyone with or without a grudge could be putting all this on here.
Lets try and all live together in peace and harmony there is enough unrest in the world lets just have a group hug and put sensible comments on here please.
Thank you and god bless each and every one of you.
Amen
Sense at last, a line can now be drawn under this whole sordid, pilious and poisonous encounter.
Lets all remember that in football, opions are like arseholes, everyones got one!!!!!!!!!
Well my son is Grant Beckwith the goalkeeper, and he joined the school of excellence but also stayed with AVC/EFCO and now that there out the youth cup he is focusing on playing for Stevenage Boro U19′s at AVC and playing in the U19 Football Conference league as he has expierence of both set-ups and knows which one he is going to develop best at, and thats at AVC/EFCO because of the coaching and also they actually get treated like humans instead of rubbish.
i dont know y da fuk i aint started in 4 fukin games iam like heskey drogba henry torres and gerrard put together has he seen my pace i realy dont deserve to be sub i should be on 10 goals now but NO iam only and fuckin 2 its realy startin to piss me off
and by the way keep stuart
Well colin reid is a good coach tbf its just some of the lads are just either shit or wont listen to what he has to say, although colin said to me i would be training with the pros well i never did… Aaron jelley was never told to play the ball long so dunno where that has come from he was told to play through the cm and he just played long because he wasnt a very good player simple as that! dean was decent but if ur not playing well or on the bench u just gotta keep plugging away rather than quitting. Warren garcia a good m8 of myn actually didnt really quit because of colin he left because he had a chance to play for some money and to play for a team closer to home so his which i say good luck to him as he derserves to be at a pro club but Mike dove at mk dons didnt agree, Stevenage borough did nothing to offer any petrol money no expenses to us at all so it was eating money coming to trainin and then we would get to trainin and there would be like 50 people there and most of them were shit. So it wasnt really worth coming i have taken time out from football for a while but nothing to do with colin reid! give him a break i honestly think hes a quality coach and it was some of the less able players and ones with the attitude that let him down. I should have just gone to histon lol
One last thing though colin u need to let players get on with their game on the pitch rather then shouting at them and giving them constant instructions whilst there trying to play thats one thing u need 2 cut out of your coaching because it doesnt help!
Also i want to add cos ive just read some more comments THE AVC LOT ARE ALL SHIT SERIOUSLY ALL COMING ON HERE CRYING BECAUSE U WERENT GETTIN PICKED OR CRYING BECAUSE U WERENT PLAYING THE ONLY GOOD 1S WERE HARRY WARREN THEO LOFTY JOSH AND GEORGE THE REST WERE HOPELESS SERIOUSLY I DONT KNOW WHY THEY EVEN HAVE THE RIGHT TO COMPLAIN…ITS BECUASE THEY DIDNT LIKE CHANCE AND THEY KNEW THE LADS COMING IN WERE MUCH BETTER THAN THEM SO THEY AND THEIR PARENTS MOANED AND BITCHED ABOUT IT AND HAVE BROUGHT GOOD PLAYERS DOWN…WHY DONT ALL AVC LOT LEAVE BECUASE ALL THEY DO IS FUCKING MOAN
Niall who are you to make such comments !!!! You know such alot about crap because thats what you’ve written!!! If you think Colin Reid is a good coach then take time to research Colin’s CV and do your homework little boy before you make such comments. As for all AVC players leaving and moaning as you say Warren & Aaron left because they WHERE consistently told to play the long ball any idiot can do that even you!!!! Aaron was tolf to F— OFF at half time because he would not play as Colin wanted him to. That is good Management skills isn’t it!!!!!!! All AVC players that left AVC at Hitchin College to play for Colin Reid where all apart of the team that WON THE LEAGUE AND AREA CHAMPIONS CUPS LAST SEASON AND ONLY KNOCKED OUT BY CHELSEA IN THE YOUTH CUP LAST SEASON so how can these lads be shit as you say!!!!! YOU ARE TALKING CRAP GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT. As for the matches you played in Colin was on your case SHOUTING FROM THE SIDE LINES AS YOU HAVE ALREADY SAID at you (this comment of yours I agree with). All the players that have left, have gone with the opinion the training, coaching skills and the fittness training are all very poor. In my opinion LIKE IT OR NOT the AVC lads where the elite players of the squad and should have been looked after!!!!! They trained full time (not 4 hours a week) they should been better and they where.
I think that you are spot on with your comments to Niall. One thing though is there something about Colin Reids cv that does not match up, you imply by your comments that you have taken time to research it.
I think a lot has been discussed about who is better AVC/EFCO or the new school of excellence side. Darren Sarll ex EFCO/AVC Head Coach now at Brentford has already signed three players from the EFCO scheme as well eight from the Stevenage Boro Youth FC Academy (7-16 yrs old) run by AVC/EFCO. He has formed a strong link between Brentford and the EFCO/AVC football scheme and if there players are good enough for Brentford then there not “rubbish. Last year when AVC ran the U18 side, we beat Thurrock 5-1 I think it was and also did well against them in pre-season in Italy. Who is better- I don’t know, but I guess we will get a fair idea when the AVC/EFCO B TEAM play the school of excellence after christmas!
AVC/EFCO THEY R ALL SHIT FUCKING SHIT THE ONLY GOOD ONCES R DALE WHO IS CURRENTLY INJURED, JOSH, THEO, LOFTY AND GEORGE. THE REST R ALL SHIT. AND WAT PPL NEED TO RELISE IS DAT STEVENAGE YOUTH PLAY IN A CRAP LEAGUE. WE CALL OURSELF A CONFERENCE TEAM BUT WE PLAY TEAMS DAT R U IN THE BRITISH GAS LEAGUE
Hate to break it too you mate but the likes of Theo Swaine, Jordan Loftman and Josh Mcdonald wouldn’t even get into the side if AVC were running the youth cup side. Yeah the school of excellence u18 play in the floodlit league because you cant play in the Football Conference youth league like the U19′s do at AVC cause the club don’t have a education system.
Ah sorry are you talking about the AVC Sports academy that young teams like U9′s are having to fold because every single player has signed for Premiership and Football league teams or are you talking about the teams at EFCO/AVC where the U19 second years “A” team won the league you are struggling in this year and then went onto to win the national final of the league or in the youth cup where they got to the third round BEATING THURROCK and only just loosing to Chelsea 1-0 or the AVC/EFCO “B” team that is sitting above you in the U18 league with two games in hand.
Or the coaches such as Robbie O’Keefe who can walk into a Football League club and coach or are comparing him to Colin Read who got forced out of West Ham and Spurs and has ended up at Stevenage because there the only place that would take it. Maybe before you start calling players shit you should just maybe turn up to one of your so called training sessions and ask the so called coach ” Colin, Can you teach us to put more than five passes together and actually keep the ball like a team usually does because we seem to struggle with that”
yh u can blame colin but most of the players that play come from AVC. starting from the goalkeeper to the skrikers.
Dat shows AVC/EFCO R CRAP dat dey need another yr at u19s to delevop from u18s u shud be aiming to be in reserves or first team not playing u19s football playing the same teams u played wen u was 16 17 rubbish
Actually last year before the school of excellence was made, most of the reserve team was full of AVC/EFCO players such as Caslake, Mcdevitt, Ferrell, Pring, Balderson,Payne, Finn, Brinkman Howard, Adams, Martin who were 1st/2nd years at AVC. Sorry how many of the school of excellence play for the reserves?
Also teams at AVC/EFCO always play a year up. The AVC/EFCO team playing in the Football Conference U19 Youth League are still U18′s and can play in the floodlit league that the school of excellence is in but AVC enter there “B” team in that league and there strongest side in the U19 league.
And to the above about blaming Colin etc…Is it not a coincidence that for the last 4/5 years AVC/EFCO have been winning every trophy possible with good runs in the Fa Youth cup every year. Three years ago loosing to Leyton Orient 3-2, or the next year beating Gillingham away or beating Oxford then nearly getting a result last year against Chelsea whilst beating Thurrock.
Only missing out on the National Football Conference U19 youth league title because they had so many players playing in the reserves and had to field U17′s playing in an U19 league and still coming second before Barnet, whilst the school of excellence playing are walking out left right and centre, with parents threatning Colin Read during matches and loosing to teams like Bury Town and Dunstable Town. O by the way Brentford beat Thurrock 6-2 last night with three AVC/EFCO players playing with two scoring and Darren Sarll as manager. Rumour has it Brinkman might be off to Brentford as well?
u can win trophy year in year out but how many of the so called successful trophy winning team play reseves and first team week in and week out coz the last time i remeber brinkman still playing youth football and cant even get on the reserves bench. the reason why we lost to bury is beacause colin was giving some plays dat dnt play a chance. it not a trophy dats get u a pro contract isit
Anonymous why hide behind the word and come out with ur name…Really everyone on here is crying about last year and how avc were so good and shit who cares the avc players that ive seen e.g Grant beckwith Aaron jelley matt at cb(not too sure of his second name) and a few more others would even make it into a centre of excellence side like your wycombes and ur lutons they would never make it into academy football where colin has learnt his trade as a youth coach never in a million years would they havent got the right attitude or the football ability what so ever and i know that because ive played academy football for 6years with milton keynes dons and with villa for a year and the players that play in them sides would stroll past the current stevenage team at the moment becuase of the lack of talent and thats not down to colin! Yes colin was getting on my case and thats simply cos i wasnt playing to my full potential as i had when i first started and i belive that to be as i was training with less able players then i was as i did all my pre season with my mk dons under 18s then the moment i came to start training with the likes of moany players and big player egos and parent egos my football went downhill, Avc belive they have the right to play all the time just becuase they was there from last year that doesnt work in football u would know that if your son or wateva had been at a higher club! They thought they could walk straight in and the moment they saw they werent gettin “looked after” (which as you put it which is pathetic as ive never heard such bullshit in football, i was at dons for 6years and they were quick to say im not going to make the first team in 2 years and like that i was gone) they threw their dummys out of the pram! Avc lads and their parents either need to get their head down and work for a place or just leave because it brings down the team with all the moaning. You all just got complacent and thought use had a place just because u were in avc last year and won this shit league and this shit trophy and were happy losin 2 chelsea youth side 1-0 who i have beaten its a joke!!! Stop blaming colin for shit and get working harder on ur game otherwise ur son or you or going to go nowhere in this game!!! Good luck to the rest of the lads at stevenage and to colin this year!
Also how many avc lads from last year have been taken to a reserve match and been with the first team?? think its just harry…correct me if im wrong but i dont see many pushin on do you?? the new lads that have come in have done better as they are better than the avc bois simple as that! dayo junaid first team and reserve outings already tyrone first team outing all ready…And just to clear this fucking up cos its gettin on my Nerves AaRON JELLEY WAS NOT TOLD TO PLAY THE BALL FUCKING LONG HE WAS TOLD TO PLAY THROUGH CM OR THE RIGHT WINGER ON HIS SIDE!!! SO WATEVER AARON IS SAYING TO YOU IS BULLSHIT COS ITS A LIE HE WAS TOLD TO PLAY THE BALL SIMPLE AND PASS IT BUT THEN ARRON WORDS….” IVE TRYED TO PLAY SIMPLE BUT NOONE IS SHOWING AND THE STRIKERS ARE ALWAYS LOOKING TO PLAY BEHIND SO I PLAY IT INTO THE SPACE” AND CAN I JUST SAY THE STRIKERS WERE THOSE THAT WERE WITH AVC LAST YEAR! LOOKING FOR THE LONG BALL ALL THE TIME! AND WARREN DID NOT LEAVE BECAUSE OF COLIN SO GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT.
I just dont see how you can say avc/efco boys are of a good standard you obviously havent seen the likes of you leicesters and watfords and villa’s they won this league because last year they had some good players playin against shit opposition and shit players this years bunch of 2nd years and 1st years from avc/efco are poor the team is made up of them and thats why they lose…Also if they were so good sarly would have brought them to brentford would he have not???????? if your moaning and saying your son is good then why is he still here sarly would have surely taken him……..thats becuase sarly knows they wouldnt stand a chance in the youth aliance league the likes of qpr and luton would tear them apart…But sarly did bring chezney a close friend of myn who was at watford and hes doin well down there so you hold sarly in such high regard which i do not know him so i cant pass judgement but he obviously doesnt hold you or your son in high regard becuase he didnt take you with him….So get out of sarlys arse and robbie o keefes arse and think if you want a career work harder!
Look Niall i agree with you on many of your points you have raised and disagree on a few as well. I have been coming to watch boro youth sides for a few years now and i agree the avc efco lads are not the best and i feel sorry for you wareen tyrone and george to have to be in the same side as them really. I Also agree with you that avc parents feel they have a right for their son to play which is beyond a joke and i dont agree with parents hurling abuse and threating colin reid who has done quite alot for the youth side and is a good coach! I belive if we get yourself,Warren,Tyrone and george on a pro contract and get your four back playing in the same side again then the hopes would be high for the team again after you for were consistent scorers in the fa youth cup this season and the moment warren had gone and you were taken off at half time the side lack of creativity and ability to know their posistions went way down, this resulted in tyrone playing upfront and george not getting any good service! for the good of football we need you four back and fit and playing above any other player in the youth side. Thanks for reading!

Niall you certainly have plenty to say for yourself and if I where you I would shut up, you are making yourself look an IDIOT!!!! a BIG HEAD!!!! and Colin Reid’s yes man/boy. If you are so good yourself why are you at Stevenage? If you where at MK Dons and Villa for a total of 6/7 years and you received excelent coaching there how can you say what you have now is good? The comments about AVC and their players are peoples opinions and they are entitled to them so what is your problem? you have been at Stevanage for five minutes what do know? The lads that have left have done you no harm so why the attack on them surely as a fellow players you should wish them well in their new clubs ARE YOU MAN ENOUGH TO DO THAT? And just to put the record straight the 3 players who went to Brentford went because there was a need to strengthen the squad in those posistions and they where good players, rumour has it that Darren Sarel would have like to take more players but the posistions and finances where unavailable. Good luck to the three of them and Darren, they beat Thurrock 6-2 says it all really.
Why is there such a war going on. It seems that some people are happy with Colin Reid and others are not, that happens all the time in football, managers come and go coaches come and go players come and go. Just because a player has been given the chance to go to an Academy or a Centre of Excellence is no gaurantee that they are going too make it as a professional, all it does and that is dependant on the coaching staff is to improve them as players, even if they only have an initial 6 week trial they would have learnt something that improves their game. So even if an under 9 side has folded and this was happening 10 – 12 years ago when the Academy system was introduced by Howard Wilkinson there are no gaurantees, too many parents get hung up on the fact that their son is at a Premiership Academy, Football is a Beautiful game but it is a BRUTAL BUSINESS!!!!! I have first hand experience of this having coached at that level. Wait until they get called in for a retain / release meeting, not pleasant when you see a 12 year old crying his eyes out with Mum and Dad facing the prospect of not being able to live out their ambitions through their son. ENJOY YOUR FOOTBALL WHEREEVER YOU PLAY BECAUSE IT IS ALL OVER FAR TOO QUICKLY. THERE WILL ALWAYS BE PEOPLE WHO THINK THEY CAN DO BETTER THAN THE COACH THE PLAYER THE MANAGER, THE CLOSEST THESE PEOPLE HAVE COME TO PLAYING THE GAME IS ON THE PLAYSTAION!!!!!!!
What people don’t seem to understand is under Sarll and AVC/EFCO there were never any problems such as players leaving, moaning about coaching etc
The new players that have gone to the school of excellence don’t know what to expect of the coaching/structure/standard etc, where as players that have already been with Stevenage through AVC/EFCO do know, and thats why there is such a problem. AVC/EFCO play regulary against Brentford and match them every time. I have barely seen any youngsters from the school of excellence play in the reserves this year, but last year the reserves was made up of youth players.
If the EFCO/AVC lads are so poor then why did Stevenage Boro FC send letters to all of them asking them to come over to the school of excellence and even the chairman ringing them up constantly?
The school of excellence train like a sunday league team- twice a week at night for a total of three hours, without an education or anything, so when Stevenage Boro treat you like shit and release you like they are doing with Brinkman, Mcdevitt and Balderson who are all unhappy, you will have nothing, whereas at AVC/EFCO players train during the day, at the newly build Ridgemond Park training ground in Stevenave and at the Arena in Baldock and also get an education which allows them to go to Uni. Please check the website http://www.stevenageboroyouthfc.co.uk/ and see how many players are signing for league clubs.
Steady on john!! the problem is this you come on here complaining about colin and everything but it was never colins fault it was half of the avc’s players and parents attitude they thought they owned the place! but u dont like it when your son or whoever you are get attacked back…Big headed steaaaaaaady!! Im saying to you that you think these avc boys are something special and im CLEARY SAYING TO YOU THEY ARE NOT! i dont actually see why u still write back because it aint gettin through to you…cos ur son left or isant playing its all colins fault! tell your son to work harder and you right they have done nothing to me but football wise there not the best and you talk of them as if they are fucking youth internationals! Your so busy anyways Bore off and get a job x Great job colin keep up the good work!
id agree with Niall here to many parents think it them playing not the boys ,arron jelly was not a very good player but his dad seemed to think he was .harry is not a good player but his dad thinks he is grant is the worst goolkeeper iv ever seen but his dad thinks his very good ,grow up the lot of you and let the boys do the talking on the pitch,colin read is not the best but his got his badges so let him get on with it .if you can do better then go do ur badges and apply for his job.
Niall is right when he said avc player was not the best there was 4 players i would have said would have made it into pro football
tyrone cazaubon, gibbo,garcia, Niall .imo so boys and girls what will be will be
And paul jelly 90% of the post on here are from u so grow up:)
what i would say this crop of players have not got much chance of getting a pro.Look at the youth players last year who got a pro not once have i seen theM in the first team .and that says it all MOVE ON
Thank you football-Mad!! someone speaks sense!! paul jelley needs to grow up hes son aint much kop tbh hes a grown man coming on here trying 2 argue his stupid point about his son being good but e wasnt.
as i put in one of my post there are not to many good players in that team and the ones there was have moved on and good luck to them.The ones what are coming on here are not the players but there dads imo.
Good luck to anyone who gets a pro .but i belive if they do its not because of there fottie its more do with avc and stevenage parting company.
As for avc doing a better job then stevenage with the coaching they are right ,Why are avc right because they had the boys for 6 hours aday so they would be-able to coach them better with fitness
As i said in one of my post the ones i thought would get a pro is you niall but as u said you have moved on,warren garcia but his moved on to mens football. tyrone his still there and gibbo one of the best keeppers iv seen at this age ,lets see if i right at the end of the season
Look basically yehh.. the under 18s are the worst ever side tht boro have had at tht age group.. niall ur pony mate u think ur a player but u aint.. i mean u lot couldnt even beat thurrock n the year before the boys turned em over 7-1 in youth cup..
i would love to of seen how u lot would of got on against the youth team last year who lost to chelsea.. it would of been a embarrasmnet im sayin 8-0 minimum.. all over the pitch they wopuld of made u lot look silly.. i just dont see what any of that team would of done against last years youth team seriously it would of been a embarraasment. boys give up none of u are gonna make it.
no u just need to grow up paul
Get your facts right before you start naming names, Football-Mad & Niall
well if people put there names to there post then we would know who writes what.also does anyone know how any of the players who have left are getting on and what teams they have gone to.
merry xmas
Lads this is getting a big boring now. End the end of the day AVC/EFCO and Stevenage have parted ways, and its official at the end of the season, because there are still EFCO teams called Stevenage Boro.
AVC/EFCO have recently made it official that they have two new links. One with Brentford FC, which will see players regulary going on trial there, and playing them in friendly’s, as well as Darren Sarll watching AVC/EFCO matches.
They also have another link with Hitchin Town FC, which will see EFCO teams named Hitchin Town FC next season.
So instead of having a club like Stevenage which is in the middle of them both, they have one for the players who can play professional football, and one of the not so gifted players who can play semi-pro.
The club have created there new school of excellence, which I feel is the wrong decision, considering that AVC/EFCO having been working on there academy for a number of years and the younger ages groups are starting to come through, and are techniqually and physically miles ahead of other players at this level. The club will work on there academy and it will improve, although they won’t be able to attract the better players around Herts, Beds, London, as AVC/EFCO still have the better reputation.
On a final note, it will be very interesting to see the AVC/EFCO scheme “B” team take on the school of excellence at Broadhall Way in early January.
Interesting article which shows that before Colin Read and Stuart Inglewood took over the school of excellence at the club , they were in charge of the football team at “Thurrock and Basildon College”. Make of it what you want. From West ham and Spurs to “Thurrock College”. Surely somethings not right???

We all know that colin read is rubbish.you only have to look at the players that have left the youth set up over the last few months .why have the players gone the training colin does with the boys is for 12 year olds.
there was some really good lads in that team who have been at stevenage for 3 to 4 years with the training of darren them boys would still be there.Why did wallace change that .we all know money.ITS A SHAME BUT THATS THE WAY IT GOES.
i would like to think that wallace as looked at all the youth and asked colin why all the players are leaving .But i dont think wallace gives a shit its the 180k he wonts from the youth set up if the first team would have gone up this season ?NO CHANCE THE FIRST TEAM ARE RUBBISH AS WELL JUST LIKE COLIN READ.
the way i see it there was only one player who left who could of made it.saying no names apart from he played in the middle of the park .
if your on about niall williams or warren garcia then myy lordd!!! awfulllll!!! warrens not bad but niall is a wannabee!
why is it people seem to post on here without putting there names .out of the 2 of them id say warren by a mile i watched him for the lasted 3 years the boy as most to make it speed strength and is very good on the ball.he also scores lots of goals which Helps.
your right niall is rubbish and this did not help warrens game when playing with him warren was doing all nialls work in the middle of the park
i also think warren made the right choice to move on when he did look at all the young pros what are they doing now the same as warren is doing and im sure warren is on more money then the ones at stevenage for playing semi pro.
I dont see how Phil Wallace can sit there and say that the youth team are not good enough. i agree that this years youth team is no where near as good as last years,, they are a mile off. By looking at last seasons youth team only 3 players got a pro contract and they havent been given a chance, Zak Burke come on as a youth team player and changed the game everytime he come on and since Westley has come in he hasnt looked twice at him. Mcdevitt was the stand out player in the reserves every week and Scott Balderson represents his country, what more does the chairman want? Aside from them 3 i believe even more of that youth team should of been handed professional contracts as they had a terrific youth cup run and competed with Chelsea, 6-7 of that starting 11 played in the reserves week in week out and didnt look out of place. Why not just sign them up to have a look at them and see what they can do? Sureley they are worth giving a chance? Cumon Wallace give the local lads a chance!
ayy agree with that massively
niall williams is the worst player.. such a big time, really fancys hiumself as a player.. nowhere near it mate im tellin ya u r pony
i seem to remember one night niall wen 2 of the previous efco boys come in to training with you lot and they played cmid.. and after 10 minutes they was running the shit out of u so colin had to bring them off and tld them tht they would be training with the first team and was offered to go play in america.. so how are the avc boys crap? they were playing week in week out in the reserves and in youth cup.. all u dun was sit on the bench once for reserves?
im still at stevenage and all i can remember is warren garcia doing all nialls work in the middle of the park so how can niall say he was so good. avc are so much better and niall warren was a avc player also.
Grant beckwith is shit! Aaron was shit! all avc r shit how many goals did grant let in and cost us games? And since warren left the team has gone down but he werent the best player. Niall werent shit doe he and warren were both killing cm until colin starting chattin shit to them! I Hate all AVC but we just have to play and get on with it!
YOU ARE ALL SAD You all have a chip on your shoulders about avc players why? can’t live up to their standards thats for sure. 2007 – 2008 season avc-stevenage players (1st & 2nd years) where excellent and all your moaning and complaining and putting them down won’t change that. For those of you who new and trained under Darren Sarle their is no comparison is there?, so for all those who appeared on the scene in July/August 08 for the first time under Colin Reid SHUT UP!!!! You talk utter crap, accept the facts and move on it was before your time. Why are you still slagging off players that left months ago, they must have had something or you would have forgotten them long ago. MOVE ON THEY HAVE.
Unfortunately Stevenage Borough made a BIG mistake last spring/summer they had a great youth set up with AVC producing some good players with excellent training under Darren who they should have kept what ever the cost, now look at the bigger picture this season and effect that big mistake has made.???? SPEAKS FOR ITSELF

Grant was a good keeper before Colin got on his back and he never got any coaching.Aaron was a very good player before colin got on his back and never let him play his game.Warren was a very good player and as you have said the team as gone backwards since he left.harrys a very good player and still there .Gibbo very good keeper and still there did i forget something.oooooooo yes they are all Avc players which played under darren and all very good players.why do you think colin read wanted them so much Dayo junaid .Its your own game you need to look at not theres.As the person put in the last post most of them have moved on for one reason or another so get on with your football and forget about them .theres 100 post on this board so avc cant be that bad CAN THEY?
Thank God some with sense and knowledge has actually left a comment at long last. AVC EFCO for Stevenage Borough 1st and 2nd years 2007 -2008 season under Darren where at the height of their game all very fit highly motivated players it is a great shame that between Stevenage Borough and AVC at Hitchin college they did’nt do more to hang on to these lads and carry on working with them instead of internally arguing and trying to out do each other. And let good players go because the lads themselves made a choice that either the college or Stevenage Borough were’nt happy with at that time, I bet AVC & Stevenage wish they had made more of an effort now when you see what has happened.
You know what i hate cummin 2 training cos colin is a shit coach i also h8 playin with avc cos most of them aint any good and they all think there betta than every1 when most of them r shit!
dayo n jahmel- worst playersss, wannabees…. jahmel i dnt even think uve played this year have you! dayo thinks he is good enuff to make it pro but is shit.. dean auburn was much better then you colin just didnt know what he was doing
Being a player at Thurrock College under Colin Reid and Stuart Inwood, I found that to be in Colin’s good books you had to be a brown tongue or utterly impressive. Even then he would dig his heels in. He has a major case of small man’s syndrome. This sort of child-like behavior is usually found in small-statured people who feel the need to make up for their physical inadequacy somehow. He has to make his presence known and be heard, despite anyone’s opinion.
I remember one occasion between Colin Reid and our College goalkeeper, who didn’t see eye to eye. Our goalkeeper never took any nonsense from Colin, and always gave him as good as he got. This clearly put a flea in Colin’s ear, and he told our keeper to F*** off and offered to fight him after training! Now this just is just Mr.Reid to a tee, offering out a 17 year old boy in front of the rest of the team.
Being on the pitch with Reid looking on, is somewhat frustrating. He loves to play the ball over the top and into the channels, which is clearly one of his downfalls to his coaching ability. He has a high standard of coaching and his football knowledge is decent, but his man management is truly disgraceful. He has no respect for any football player and can target you and make you feel as small as himself. His coaching CV at a glance looks pretty impressive, coaching the likes of Defoe, Scott Parker, Mark Noble etc. Yet every pro club he’s been at he’s been sacked due to his lack of respect and disgusting attitude. His history of clubs tell’s it own story.
I hope Stevenage can see sense and remove such a waste of space in Colin Reid, he isn’t capable of managing a team with his forceful and disrespectful approach. The man is two-faced, foul-mouthed and a poor excuse for a coach.
The person who wrote this is not a player or ex player at the college, more like one of the staff Neil Coates or Micky Thomas.
Colin Reid and Stuart Inwood did an excellent job at the college Michael Kightley coming through the scheme and looking like he may make it into the Premiership with Wolves.
By the way does anyone know the score between Stevenage EFCO vs Stevenage Borough played on 25th March 2009.
Well said id agree with that 100% what he as done at stevenage is force every good player out the door.but if stevenage lets this happen then they wont bring many players tho will they.
thats not very nice is it?
DAYO U R THE WORST PLAYER.. ID RUN U ALL OVER THE PITCH IF I PLAYED YOU.. YOUR A VERY BAD PLAYER
BRAVO Well said anonymous of 26th Jan at 1.34pm, I also agree 100%. I could not have put it better myself, Colin Reid definitley suffers with little big man syndrome. He is a real nasty piece of work, I have seen all you mentioned in your post and worse happen at Stevenage first hand its a real shame the management are blind to it. The team has already been reduced to nothing at least half a dozen of the best players and I mean (good players who wanted to play good football not just past it over the top) have left due to Colin Reid. I take it you despise the man well join the ever growing fan club. He will have his day! some one will teach him a lesson he won’t forget. Unfortunately to many lads will suffer along the way and to many careers ruined.
colin reid is GOD!!!
You lot are Boring!
Whoever write these thing slatting Colin, Jesus christ grab a life!!!
Thought id join in with the fun on here, if you get a buzz on here might see if i do!

I am along with ONE other!! hell tell the truth if im not doing what i should be!!
You can only get yourself in his bad books.
Everyone is different, everyone has different opinions aswell
This debate could go on for a long time, time to leave it at this.
Youve voiced your opinion, rightly or wrongly!
Just to add on the bus quotes i researcha bit of info
http://ironworker.wordpress.com/2008/04/04/even-at-arsenal-i-dreamed-of-west-ham/
‘My first coach at West Ham was Dean Wells, but the biggest influences on my Academy career were Colin Reid, Tony Carr, Kevin Keen and Paul Heffer. I can never repay any of them for their help and guidance, not only on the field either’
One postive quote to 80 to 90 negative posts approx.
Sorry does not make Colin Reid “da man” in my book.
We can’t all be wrong can we?
Good Luck to you Jorden do what you have to! so long as your happy with it?
Does anyone know the score between Stevenage EFCO vs Stevenage Borough played on 25th March 2009.
If anyone does it would be appreciated.
EFCO 0-4 SBFC YOUTH
Thank you
THE AVC LOT THE EITE LOT WILL SMASH THE SBFC
I have heard that Colin is currently banned by the FA and his Coaching Licence is suspended. God knows why but it must be serious!!!
Colin reid is being sacked at the end of the season and two new 18s coaches will be brought in. He doesnt know this yet but he soon will.
Very brave coming from someone who is anonymous and hiding behind a computer screen!
Sad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry but who was that aimed at? I posted that I had heard that Colin had been suspended by the FA. That was not meant to be malicious, but I think you will find it is true, just ask any coach you know who is involved with the FA.
My mate was doing his UEFA ‘B’ course last week and it was the main topic of conversation.
This seasons results between the two sides.
Stevenage EFCO 0 1 Stevenage Boro FC
Stevenage Boro 2 2 Stevenage EFCO
League Cup Final- Stevenage EFCO 1 0 STEVENAGE BORO FC
Sorry meant for 4-0 to Stevenage Boro FC for the first game not 1-0.
It says on the main website that the juniors have been released. Well at least they now know because unfortunately nobody has had the courtesy to tell these boys face to face that they are no longer required. Having been at other clubs at least when you are released you are spoken to and given reasons as to why.The boys have been treated poorly with no communication from Stevenage unless they were wanted for something eg Reserve fixtures. I know this for a fact as I am related to one of the players. Unfortunately for all of the boys concerned at the start of the season a good team of players which had been formed under Darren Sarll were split to the benfit of none of the players. The chairman said at the start of the season he would be looking to take some of these boys on-another comment which proved not to be true. Most of these boys feel that they have been used this season to fufil fixtures and now the simple fact that not 1 player has been kept on would seem to prove this statement correct which is unfortunate for those boys and parents who gave up a lot of time and were committed to getting their boys to and from fixtures and training. There were 2 or 3 boys who Im sure most parents and Colin would agree were of a good enough level to have been considered. The chairman began to attend matches towards the end of the season but we never saw the first team manager-how does this work? Even premiership managers would spend some time looking at their youth players but sadly for these boys this never happened. Well done to all of those boys who represented Stevenage and good luck in your future footballing career-I am sure some of you will be picked up and be able to play at a decent level where you will be appreciated.
Totally agree. Darren Sarll, Robbie O’Keefe and David Bass and the rest of the coaches at AVC have produced so many good players over the last four years yet not one has broken through to our first team. Scott Balderson is an Australia U21 international and is now playing in the A-League in Australia, yet we released him earlier this year without him even getting a chance. Brinkman has been training with Brentford yet we released him. Mcdevitt was a good young centre back but we released him.
There were players who were more than good enough at AVC and also our new school of excellence yet we couldn’t even give one a chance. Our club is either not interested in bringing through young players or just simply do not not know how too.
FC Boro- I would like to right an article on this situation and if deemed good enough by yourself it be published on the site.
Re – Paul
That would be great of you could right an article regarding the EFCO situation. I’m always open to viewers of the site to get involved and comment. All you have to do is get your article in a word doc and send it over to my email address which is sgmboro@hotmail.co.uk. Thanks
