SEASON TICKETS: Confirmed details for our League One campaign

We are delighted to confirm our season ticket details for the 2023/24 campaign as we look forward to our return to League One.

As chairman Andrew Jenkins said, we did this together, and we need more of the same as we make the exciting step up, with some mouth-watering encounters to look forward to.

With just weeks until the lads return there’s barely time to draw breath but, with the way promotion was achieved – a real collective effort – we don’t mind that one bit as we look to the next stage of our exciting journey.

Chief executive Nigel Clibbens said: “We can’t repeat enough how important your magnificent support has been, and how much it made a genuine difference, often when it was needed most, to help Paul and his squad get the promotion we all craved over the line.

“A positive ending to the previous season was harnessed and built upon, and the way the feelings of positivity and belief and momentum grew through what was a tough campaign was a joy to watch and be part of.

“The reward for the hard work done by the management team, the players, the club staff – all backed up by you, our magnificent fans – was the promotion winning experience at Wembley which will live long in the memory for all of us.”

“As we look to help the manager build a team that will compete strongly every week in League One there is no escaping the fact that costs will rise,” he added. “Along with that are the current increases in costs linked with inflation that are having such a major impact on fans in almost every aspect of our lives.

“That is why we have taken the difficult but unavoidable decision to increase prices on our adult, senior and young adult categories by £2, and we have increased the match day prices for juniors in an attempt to encourage them to purchase in advance.

“As a thank you to those who are renewing we have increased the equivalent saving on match day prices to six games – it was a four-game saving last season. We felt it was important to acknowledge the continued and loyal support you give us, with this being the fairest way.

“We’re looking forward to seeing you ‘Back the Blues’ once again as we take on the challenge of League One together.”

All season ticket prices and terms are below. All prices reflect a £2 per game increase in match day prices.
