Affordable Footy at St James' Park, Elland Road and Carrow Road This Week

Some good opportunities this week to watch competitive matches in big grounds, especially welcome if it is half-term where you are.

Newcastle United host Chelsea in the FA Youth Cup at St James' Park on Monday and admission for the 7:05pm kick-off is free. The two sides met at the same quarter-final stage of last season's competition and attracted a crowd of 2,506 through the gates.

Tuesday afternoon sees Leeds United host Sheffield Wednesday at Elland Road in an Under-21 fixture that kicks-off at 1pm. Admission is priced at £3 for adults and £1 for juniors.

Norwich City continue their policy of playing attractive Under-21 fixtures under the lights at Carrow Road and with free admission for all supporters. The Canaries host Manchester City on Wednesday at 7pm. Previous games against Tottenham, Liverpool and Manchester United have attracted a total of around 30,000 through the gates.

Supporters are advised to claim their free tickets in advance to avoid queues while an optional donation can be made to support the work of the club's academy.

Away from the main grounds there is also free football at Leigh Sports Village as Manchester United Under-21's take on Everton on Tuesday evening with a 7pm kick-off.

Affordable Football aims to bring you the special offers, reduced ticket prices and family deals that make catching a match anywhere in the country more affordable. You can tweet us @affordablefooty or email affordablefootball@yahoo.com if your club are doing something worth hearing about.
