“I’ve been away so I haven’t really heard too much but it would be really sad if the club were to lose it’s category 2 status and the Academy as a whole,” Christie told the Observer.
“The Academy gave players like myself a chance to progress and nurture our talent so I owe it a lot.
“The people there guided us and they matched our willingness to succeed in the game. They brought us on as players and improved us and I think that is down to the way the Academy is set up and run.
"There is a fantastic setup there and there are some fantastic coaches and people within the Academy.
"The players that are coming through now are really good so it would be shame to lose it’s status.
"It really does need to be saved because there are a lot of talented players there and it’s paved the way for a lot of boys, including myself, to come through and I think that shows the standard that is going on down there."
