Barnet FC will still host a number of Arsenal games
New Reserve League format announced
Please note that, as a result of feedback received from member Clubs, the Premier League Board have approved a new Reserve League format for the 2010/2011 season.
Participating clubs will be split into three regionalised groups as under:
| Southern Group | Northern Group A | Northern Group B |
| Arsenal | Bolton Wanderers | Blackburn Rovers |
| Aston Villa | Manchester City | Blackpool |
| Chelsea | Manchester United | Everton |
| West Bromwich Albion | Newcastle United | Liverpool |
| West Ham United | Wigan Athletic | Sunderland |
| Wolverhampton Wanderers |
The League format will result in teams in the Southern Group playing a total of 20 matches and teams in the two Northern Groups playing 19 matches each.
Each team will play home and away against the other teams in their group and once against all other teams (equally divided home and away).
The winners of the two Northern Groups will play off to determine the Northern League Winners.
The Northern League Winners will then play off against the Southern Group Winners to determine the Barclays Premier Reserve League Play Off Winners.
The Premier League Board has also given approval for clubs’ training grounds to be used to stage fixtures. Consequently, Arsenal will be staging several home Premier Reserve League fixtures, as afternoon kick offs, at the London Colney Training Centre. Unfortunately, the Club is not permitted to allow supporters at this venue and therefore these home Reserves matches will be staged ‘behind closed doors’.
However, the Club hugely values the loyal following that has attended Reserve League matches at Barnet FC in recent years and we are keen to maintain opportunities for supporters to watch young talent developing in our Reserve team. Therefore, we have reached an agreement with Barnet FC to stage home Premier Reserve League matches at Underhill during months with more favourable weather - ie September, March and April, as well as any home FA Youth Cup matches in Rounds Three, Four and Five.
The full Premier League Reserves fixture list, including locations of matches, will be announced on www.arsenal.com in the week commencing Monday, July 12
