​Following yesterday’s confirmation that the club would not be extending the capacity at Dean Court, the club opted to maintain its limit on season tickets to 7,000.

Seats will be available to renew from Friday, June 5 until Sunday, July 5 for existing season ticket holders. Forms are set to be posted by the end of May.

Supporters who wish to stage payments across four, six or eight months can find further details on the finance options available via the club's official website.
