trying to keep our current predicament out of my head, I thought I would look through where our players have been born.
Two myths have been shattered in my mind
(1) we never give local lads a chnace
(2) players won't come to Plymouth due to location
Scotland 14.1%
London 11.0%
Lancashire 9.3%
Plymouth 9.0%
Yorkshire 6.7%
Wales 4.7%
Cornwall 4.3%
Devon 3.1%
West Midlands 3.1%
Republic of Ireland 2.7%
Overall Plymouth/ Devon/ Cornwall has provided 16.4%, so local players are the largest single group, so myth 1 is not entirely true.
This also means that 83.6% of players have been from outside the local area, so myth 2 makes no sense
