MORTON have teamed up with the SPFL in a new initiative aimed at boosting attendances in the New Year.

All 10 Championship clubs have agreed on a plan to have under-12s allowed free entry to matches during the two weekends of the Premiership winter break next month.

Morton already offer free entry to under-12s as part of their pricing structure, but Ton supporters can take advantage of the initiative when Jim Duffy’s men travel to Brechin City on January 6. 

The move is aimed at encouraging families to get along to a match, even if their own top-tier side is not in action. 

SPFL chief executive Neil Doncaster said: “Football goes on even during the Ladbrokes Premiership winter break and I commend the Ladbrokes Championship clubs for coming up with this welcome initiative.

“Hopefully many supporters will take the chance to get out to a match next month, with free admission for under-12s making it more affordable for families to attend together.”
