BURNAGE METRO TO HOST U11s IN SEP & OCT 2014
U11s 9v9 SEASON KICKS OFF ON GRASS
Manchester City are due to complete their new £200m Etihad Campus until October so, we won't be able to move our U11s into their new home at the Platt Lane training complex until early November.
Until then, we're very pleased to accept the generous invitation from Burnage Metro FC to play our first 7 weeks of 9v9 football on their excellent grass pitches at Simons Field in Didsbury.

U11s MOVE TO PLATT LANE IN NOVEMBER
Platt Lane, currently the home of Manchester City's Academy, will become the Respect League's U11s 9v9 Centre from Saturday 8 November.
The facilities for players and spectators are first class, with on site parking and refreshments available.
But it's the pitches we are most excited about - the high quality astro pitch and the world class 'Desso' pitch (a hi-tech mixture of real grass and artificial fibres), the same as the one that will play host the the opening game of this summer's World Cup in Brazil.
Stepping up to 9v9 means more players on a bigger pitch with bigger 16' x 7' goals and introducing the players to the offside rule.
