I made some enquiries last night. The free match tickets with a course are advertised before hand if it applies to a particular course, but usually only applies to the ones held in Burnley.
The academy trial is standard practice for any club. However the bigger the scouting network the more likely the child has already been spotted if they play football for a boys team. Obviously thats a problem for Stanley because they haven't the resources for a scouting network and have to rely more on the community team spotting talent in schools. A scouting network isn't going to happen overnight.
As for free tickets in general for Clitheroe schools, there was a coach full from Ribblesdale school the week before last week for the Turf and this comng Saturday free tickets have been given to Pendle primary schools. The tickets are for the kids and helpers be they parents or staff. There is no free admission at Burnley for children like there is at Stanley but the free admission isn't a benefit if the adults aren't prepared to pay to get in and there is nobody to take the children.
