I've been following their exploits through highlights, and while the quality of that league leaves much to be desired, the atmosphere for some of those games, especially derbies and cup ties, sound amazing. The players get to do a lot of interviews, and you can tell that they have a big sense of responsibility for their performances. I think there is definitely some benefit in sending our youngsters to Antwerp - add to that the fact that they see regular football, and have Andy Welsh's watchful eye over them. There are definitely the disadvantages of lower standards and being in a different country, but there's definitely some benefits.
