Matchday Prices Out Monday

Matchday admission prices will be released on Monday, according to the official site.

Prices rose considerably last season, rising by around £3 a head following promotion to the Football League, but still remained competitive amongst League Two clubs, with only Rochdale offering cheaper admission and five or six others offering similar deals.

Whether supporters would accept another price increase is open to debate. If the season had not ended so badly most would probably agree to a small rise to give the club extra scope within their budget to 'take the next step', however the uninspiring football seen over the latter part of the season saw attendances fall - notching the lowest League gate of the season for the Boston match around 1,200 under the average attendance for the season.

A rise in ticket prices would also make a season ticket a more attractive proposition. The current season ticket is seen as poor value at current rates, with only three "free" games included, and people are holding off purchasing child tickets after the matchday ticket offers in the later part of last season proved cheaper than purchasing a season ticket.

In other news, programme advertising has been frozen for the coming season. The club had already announced a freeze in the price of the programme.
