Full 2014/15 Baggies fixture list as league undergoes makeover
ALBION will kick-off their 2014/15 Barclays Under-21 Premier League season with a Black Country derby clash against Wolves at The Hawthorns on Monday, August 18 (ko 7pm).
This is one of three home games that will be played at The Hawthorns, with the remainder taking place at the Ricoh Arena.
Admission prices for the Ricoh Arena encounters remain the same as at The Hawthorns: £5 adults and £1 concessions. Entry is free for Albion home season ticket holders.
This season the competition will have a new format, with the best Under-21 teams from the country split into two divisions of 12.
Barclays Under-21 Premier League Division 1 consists of the clubs who finished in the top 12 of the previous season's 22-team division.
Barclays Under-21 Premier League Division 2 will feature Albion as one of the remaining ten clubs, with two new Under-21 teams, Brighton & Hove Albion and Derby County, also included after they were awarded Category One status.
In each division, clubs will play each other home and away and the champions of Division 1 will be the team with the most points after 22 matches.
There will be relegation and promotion between the two leagues with the two top teams from Division 2 at the end of the season replacing the bottom two teams from Division 1.
For the first time, matches in the competition will be broadcast regularly live on Sky Sports and BT Sport.
