On the day the Conference fixtures were released, Cambridge United announced an extension to early purchase season ticket prices as a 'thank you' to the fans for their incredible support at such a difficult time.

The discounted prices will continue to be available for another three weeks, until Saturday 23rd July.

Finance Director Nick Pomery stated, "We have decided to extend the early purchase period as a one-off this season as we felt it was appropriate to demonstrate to the supporters just how much we appreciate all the hard work and fundraising they have done over the past months.

"Without their work we wouldn't be here today and so it is only fitting that we find a way to repay that.

"We are very much aware that some people have contributed so much to the bucket collections and other fundraising schemes that they are having to wait until this month's pay day to be able to purchase their season ticket, so this extension is aimed at thanking them for their support."

Pomery added, "We have sold over 1,200 season tickets so far - which is a brilliant start, all things considered - and what is particularly pleasing is that many of them are new season ticket holders this year.

"The feedback from supporters so far is that there are still a fair few planning to renew.

"With this extension of the early purchase scheme I would urge them to continue to support the club by doing so now because the more season tickets we sell the better playing budget Rob Newman (left) will have to assemble his squad for the new season."

Nick concluded by reinforcing that all season ticket monies were safe: "All of the season ticket money is in a separate trust account and will only be drawn down as each game is played, so supporter's money is safer now than it has ever been."

Season tickets can be purchased from the ticket office Monday-Friday 9am-5pm. The Ticket Office telephone number is 01223 566500.
