When Stanley reserves got promoted in the 80s they would play against Division 1 NW Club's A&B teams and the likes of UMIST.

At the start of the century A&B teams were replaced by U19 and U17 academy teams. The development squads which some people refer to as U21 and other U23 are the step between the academy and first team squad, but are not age restricted.
