Singapore, Friday, July 16, 2010 — Burnley FC Manager Brian Laws has named a 24-man strong squad for their week-long training camp in Singapore as they prepare to face the Singapore Selection side on 24 July in the FIS Asian Challenge Cup at the Jalan Besar Stadium.
Of the 24 players named, Singapore fans will remember the likes of veteran right back Graham Alexander, former England under-21 defender, Clarke Carlisle, and winger Wade Elliott, who scored the winning goal in the 2008–09 Championship play off final over Sheffield United that send the Clarets into English top flight football after a 33-year exile.
The Clarets have also included new pre-season signing, former Spurs and Hull midfielder Dean Marney, who will be poised to make his first appearance for his new club against the Singapore Selection side. Former Manchester United midfielder Chris Eagles, who recently turned down a move to Scottish giants Glasgow Rangers to remain at Turf Moor, will also be travelling with the team. The 24-year old winger made 20 starts for the Clarets in the English Premier League last season scoring two goals.
In preparation for the 2010-2011 English Championship season, the Clarets will also play two closed-door friendly matches against S.League sides Gombak United and Home United on 20 and 22 July at the Tampines Stadium before facing the Singapore Selection side on Saturday, 24 July at Jalan Besar Stadium.

I think you should indicate the age for the students and senior citizen so that other people would know what is the age.
The information was received from FAS and they didn’t indicate ages. However, if you have a student pass to prove that you are student, that’s fine. It is not age-defined.
As for senior citizens, they also have a pass once they hit a certain age, if I’m not mistaken?
In any case, don’t take my word for it. Please check with FAS.
