Was just on a Newcastle forum and another kid who played was a youngster who just signed from Oldham. They apparently picked a guy up from Port Vale at the same time (U14/U15 I think) and the poster said the club had bought the families each a house in the area so they could move up. Is that typically a thing? I know we used to have lodgings for youth players decades ago.
