Gary Brabin has added an extra match to our pre-season schedule to give him an extra chance to assess his squad and trialists ahead of the new season.

The match is at Bedford Town on Monday 28th July (kick off 7.45pm) and details of admission prices will follow nearer to the date.

The Southern League Premier side is managed by former U's captain Stuart Bimson, and we have signed two players from the Eagles in the last year. Defender and City captain Gavin Hoyte joined last summer, then midfielder Ben Farrell signed in the January transfer window.

As reported yesterday, tickets for our home pre-season friendly match against Everton on Saturday 19th July are selling well and supporters wishing to sit in the Main Stand are advised to purchase their tickets in advance if they wish to buy seats together. Seats that were reserved for Season Ticket holders until last week are now on general sale.

Early interest in the match is very encouraging and indeed Everton supporters have already snapped up 1,100 of the 1,400 seats available for them in the South Stand, so there should be a good atmosphere in the ground for our first home pre-season match.

Tickets are also on sale for our home games against Coventry City and West Ham on July 26th and 30th respectively. The admission prices for all three home games are in line with next season's admission pricing structure, however there are some great savings to be made if you purchase a ticket in advance for more than one match.

A ticket for the Everton match entitles you to purchase tickets for the Coventry City and West Ham matches at half price. For example, if you purchase a £16 Main Stand ticket for the Everton match you can then buy a similar ticket for the West Ham game for just £8. Or, after buying your £16 Everton ticket you could spend another £16 on half price tickets for both the West Ham and Coventry games!

In addition, if you purchase a ticket in advance for the West Ham game at the full price, you will be entitled to a half price ticket for the Coventry match. Junior U's can pre-purchase all three friendlies for just £5.

Tickets are on sale now from the Ticket Office in person or by telephone on 01223 566500.
