This from Hereford FC:
Hereford FC’s Commercial Director, George Webb, has confirmed that Season Ticket books for the 2015/16 season will be available for collection from Tuesday 14 July.
From 4pm ahead of the pre-season fixture against a West Bromwich Albion XI, supporters will be able to collect their books from Edgar Street giving fans plenty of chance to pick them up before the Midland Football League kicks off on Saturday 8 August.
However, Executive Club Season Ticket holders will be able to collect their Season Ticket books slightly earlier when they enter the Executive Club ahead of the FC United of Manchester game on Saturday 11 July, as their Season Tickets cover every game played at Edgar Street this season.
Speaking earlier today, Webb explained the thinking behind this plan:
‘After much discussion we have decided to wait to release Season Ticket books until after the FC United of Manchester game as Edgar Street is incredibly busy at the moment with match ticket and season ticket sales, as well as the huge amount of interest we are seeing in club merchandise.
‘When you add to this the enormous amount of work that is still going on to get the ground ready for our first game, we feel it would be foolish to over-stretch ourselves if it is not absolutely necessary.
‘The interest we are seeing in the club is fantastic, but it does bring with it problems in terms of us ensuring we have enough people available to do the jobs we need to cover. Especially when you consider we are relying on only two paid members of staff.
‘With that being the case, and as standard Season Tickets are not actually valid until the first home league game, we believe it is sensible to wait until we have our first friendly is out of the way before inviting people to collect their tickets.
‘By doing this we feel we can provide the best possible service to fans and also ensure we are being fair to our staff and the brilliant volunteers who continue to help with sales in all areas.
‘I’d like to thank supporters in advance for their patience and understanding in relation to this decision – I hope they can see it is the most sensible plan when you consider quite how much we still have to do as excitement builds towards the big kick off at Edgar Street a week on Saturday.’
Further information about where Season Tickets can be collected from will be announced in due course, but Executive Club members are reminded their tickets will be available for collection as they enter the Starlite Room on the day of the FC United of Manchester game.
Options for any individuals who cannot make it to Edgar Street to collect their Season Ticket books will also be announced in due course.
