I thought I would have a look at the season ticket prices for our league (I know – get a life – but things were slack at work). I have NOT done this to have a go at our club; I was just curious as after the match last night I went onto the Whitehawk web site to find that their season ticket price (for a team 2 leagues above us) was £150.
All the information below was taken from club web sites and, as far as I know, is correct.
It was quite interesting to see the variation in prices. The higher prices are in red, and the lower in green.

I also noticed that a number of clubs helped supporters with the cost of buying season tickets, maybe ours could consider doing the same in the future.
A number of clubs offer half season tickets, others do ‘early bird’ prices (which we used to do), some reward loyal supporters by having reduced prices for people renewing their tickets.

Hi Guys,
This is my first contribution of the new season though I have been following the forum avidly during the Summer. (One way of remaining in denial that the Summer is gradually coming to an end is to make a rule NOT to post on the forum or attend any friendlies until August....so I have achieved one of the two and can go and watch the Us v Gillingham with a relatively clear conscience.)
So.....really looking forward to the new season. We appear stronger in many areas and think we will be serious contenders for the title, which I never thought we were last season, even when we were at the top. Terry seems to have done a great job attracting some high quality players. I see Folkestone as our main rivals who seem equally intent on building a strong squad. Time will tell of course...there are always some surprise teams.
I believe I recall reading somewhere that I can buy/collect my season ticket at the pre-season games (i.e. Gillingham). Is that correct ? What's the process ? Thanks.
Sorry for not replying earlier Mick, if you let the gate staff know you want to buy a season ticket they will let you in to see Darryl Tribbeck who as Pat says is the club secretary and he will sort you out.
Just seen that Potters Bar FC ( Southern Central divison, same level as us ) are giving away full season tickets to everyone for free! ( With a voucher available to anyone who comes to and pays entry for a home game before the end of Sept.... )
Now that is a gamble!! think their average crowd is only about 50-60 or so though so not that much to lose and expect they are hoping for bigger food & drink receipts to offset it....
