Padiham is one of three more development squad friendlies

Last updated : 30 May 2014 By Tony Scholes

This year the Padiham game has been given a chance of attracting a bigger crowd than in recent years. It comes four days before the start of the Premier League season and therefore should not clash with a first team game.

That's good news for Padiham, a club who offer a lot of support to the Clarets at academy level with the use of their ground at the Arbories. And, on a personal note, I'm pleased that Burnley fans are given the opportunity to support a club who have always been very helpful when Clarets Mad have played there, including the recent Clarets Madiham game.

It is scheduled for Tuesday 12th August with a 7 p.m. kick off and is added to the list as are two more games at Wolves, presumably to be played at their training ground and against Nike Academy who play at St. George's Park at Burton.

The full development squad fixtures are below and have also been added to Friendlies/Key Dates within Fixtures/Table/Dates which can be found in the Clarets Latest drop down menu.

Tue 22nd July - CHESTER (a), kick off 7 p.m.
Tue 29th July - HYDE (a), kick off 7:45 p.m.
Sat 2nd Aug - WOLVES (a), kick off 1 p.m.
Tue 12th Aug - PADIHAM (a), kick off 7 p.m.
