BURNLEY FC is launching a ticket deal for schoolchildren ahead of this weekend's clash with Southampton at Turf Moor to get more youngsters involved in the club.

All children and their parents can buy a pair of tickets for £5 for the game on Saturday - saving more than £20.

The offer - open to more than 200 primary schools in the East Lancashire, Skipton and Keighley areas - comes via the club's leisure and community scheme.

Senior community manager Nick Harrison said: "Burnley Football Club are pleased to be working with local primary schools on this special ticket promotion and hope this helps to make match days at Turf Moor very much a family occasion."

For more information contact Karen Moorhouse on 01282 700081.

Player Graham Branch joined pupils from St John's Primary School, Cliviger, to launch the scheme.
