"Arsenal launched the 'Young Guns' Enclosure for the 2013-14 season, an area for supporters aged 12 to 16 with access to 1,000 tickets to every weekend category B and C Premier League match for a fixed price of £10.''
Cathy Long, the Premier League's Head of Supporter Services, said: "Making football more attractive and more affordable for families is something clubs have worked hard at over the last few years. Premier League football is increasingly a family affair - 29% of fans attend with children, and the clubs are doing a better job in making football more accessible to them. Back in 2009 76% of parents thought clubs catered well for their need, but that had increased to 87% last season."
For all the Premier League's good news, ticket prices remain a huge concern for fans, particularly away tickets with the Football Supporters' Federation running a "Twenty's Plenty" campaign to peg the price of away tickets to £20 (£15 concessions).
