With an exciting season now behind us and thoughts turning to the next campaign, there is just a week left to snap up your season ticket and guarantee your place on the 2008/09 roller coaster.

As announced last month, due to rising costs the admission and season ticket prices have to rise for the first time in four seasons.

However, the Directors have tried to tier prices to cater for all levels of supporter and the 'early purchase' prices, which are available until Friday 13th June, represent tremendous value. Almost 1,200 people have already bought their season tickets for next season.

The new pricing structure puts a premium on the better seats in the Main Stand, whilst the opening of the South Stand to home supporters for all but the most high profile games provides a cheaper seating option as well as an option for Junior U's to maintain their £2.00 entrance fee.

Announcing the news about the South Stand, Chairman Philip Law stated, "It has been nagging away at us for some time that the best facility in the stadium is used by less than a hundred away supporters for the majority of games. We will see how things pan out over the next season as to whether we make this permanent for future seasons."

On the new pricing structure, Law added, "Price rises are always unpalatable, however they are necessary to ensure the long term future of the Football Club. The Board are mindful of the current economic climate, but we need put the club on a stable financial footing."

Supporters will be able to purchase their season tickets at 'early purchase' prices until Friday 13th June, after which time they will be available at full price.

Application forms are available from the ticket office and there is a downloadable version here (MS Excel format). Please note that the season ticket booklets will not be issued until July 2008.

The Ticket Office can be contacted on 01223 566500.
