U23s Head To HQ

The Clarets are moving venues for their U23 fixtures with Steve Stone’s side set to kick off life in Premier League 2 at the Lancashire FA County Ground in Leyland.

The Academy side has played at Curzon Ashton’s Tameside Ground for the last three seasons in a successful link-up with the National League North club.

But the Clarets have now secured a move to county HQ, where they will play the majority of their home fixtures in the second tier of PL2 following the Academy’s elevation to Category One status.

Blackburn Rovers will also continue to use the venue, but Bolton Wanderers have ended their lengthy association of playing their U23 fixtures at Leyland after down-grading their youth set-up.
