U21s / Development Squad 2014-15

Recommended Posts

Leicester City’s Development Squad will play their Premier League International Cup Semi-Final clash with Manchester City on Thursday at Holmes Park (7pm kick-off).

Steve Beaglehole’s outfit stormed through the group stages of the competition with wins against Schalke, Benfica and now last-four opponents Man City. 
 
A tough quarter-final tie with Everton at Belvoir Drive then followed. The game finished 2-2 after extra time, but two crucial spot-kick saves from goalkeeper Adam Smith meant the Foxes emerged as 4-3 victors on penalties. 
 
The Citizens, meanwhile, advanced from Group C as runners-up behind City and beat Celtic on penalties in the quarter-final following a goalless draw after 120 minutes. 
 
The winners of the tie, which will take place at Holmes Park, Whetstone – the home of the County FA – will face Portuguese outfit Porto in the final.

How the fvck have Holmes Park managed to pull of hosting that game?

It's a nice pitch but it's not that great and the facilities aren't up to much either.

They can't play it at the KP seeing as we play Wednesday and Saturday. Then it's a toss up between there and the training ground. Guess it's easier to get more spectators at Holmes Park than Belvoir Drive?

it has to be played at a stadium (its non negotiable). Belvoir drive isn't a stadium and holmes park is all that was available .they refused a few dates city put forward ,  the other alternative was a reverse fixture which city were never going to do . lets see what man city think of holmes park they wont be happy !!
