HEREFORD FC have now sold more than 1,000 season ticket sales for the forthcoming campaign.

Sales began on June 2 and, as of yesterday, 1,006 had been sold.

“Passing the 1,000 season ticket sales mark is a fantastic achievement by our supporters, especially so early in the summer," said Hereford chairman Jon Hale.

“I’d like to thank everyone who has purchased early and committed their support to the club.”

Talking about the squad that has been assembled to date, Hale added: “We believe Peter Beadle is building a very good squad of players, made up from the majority of last seasons group plus a few impressive additions. "

"Competition for places is going to be fierce, which always bodes well.

“We are delighted to see so many families signing up for season tickets again, with our commitment to providing a friendly, community focused atmosphere around the club.

“We hope to complete one or two more signings before the season starts, to give the team the very best chance of competing at the top end of the Southern League South & West league table.

“We can’t wait to continue our journey backed by our incredible supporters."

Comapring this season's total to the previous campaign, the 1,000 mark was reached last year on June 27, although tickets had been on sale since the beginning of April.

Ticket sales continue from the club shop tomorrow and Friday from 10am to 4pm. 

However, there is still a delay with the payment provider in setting up the online payment process.
