Stronger Together- Says Club

Last updated : 02 May 2008 By Rob Miles (barnsley Boy)

Barnsley Football Club have launched their "Stronger Together" campaign to get more fans to buy season tickets by reducing prices by a paltry £10 for the 2008-2009 Championship season.

Adult season ticket prices now look like this:

Pontefract Road End £290.
East and West Upper £360
East Upper (Family Area) £350
East and West Lower £310
Disabled Corner £220

Childrens season ticket prices have though dropped by as much as £100 whilst kids under the age of 11 at the start of the season will be able to purchase a season ticket free of charge if accompanied by a paying adult.

In defending the prices, Owner Patrick Cryne told wwww.barnsleyfc.co.uk:

"The club's march to Wembley in this season's FA Cup showed that the town and its outlying communities are proud of their football team and want to be part of it. Taking over 34,000 fans to the semi-final proved that.

"We want those very same supporters from Kendray to Ward Green; from Staincross to Darfield , to be part of us. Bringing the club and our local communities together in a closer relationship can only be good for all of us and our decision to reduce season ticket prices is a gesture towards this. Together we can achieve success and bring a vibrancy to the town."
