Keep An Eye Out For The Under-21's

There was a welcome move last season for clubs to play some of their Under-21 matches at their home ground, offering free or reduced price entry and encouraging families to watch by scheduling those games in the school holidays and/or at friendly kick-off times.

Norwich City were the most obvious example as they attracted some very healthy crowds to Carrow Road for some of their development squad's most attractive fixtures.

A quick glance at those clubs that have announced plans for 2015/16 shows the trend continuing. Leicester City, for example, have confirmed seven fixtures for the King Power Stadium, starting with the visit of Manchester United on Monday 10 August at 7pm.

The Red Devils themselves (who also use the excellent Leigh Sports Village facility along with Blackburn Rovers and where admission to games is usually free of charge) have confirmed matches at Old Trafford against Norwich, Chelsea and Middlesbrough for 2015/16.
