These are certainly unprecedented times, and while we continue to hope the current 2019/20 season isn’t over yet, we must turn our attention towards the next campaign. Weโre doing everything we can to steer the football club through very choppy waters and we need to keep going as best we can. We understand a resolution to our 2019/20 season involving play-off matches could potentially delay the start of the 2020/21 campaign โ weโre sure the landscape will become clearer over the coming weeks.
Despite all the uncertainty around, we have still decided the best course of action is that our 2020/21 season ticket will go on sale online from 17 May. When we are in partial lockdown and with people suffering with the Covid virus, there is never going to be a great time to make this announcement. Weโre doing this now to allow those who wish to pay through the instalment plan, every bit of notice and opportunity.
You can watch the โShaymenโ for the 2020/21 campaign for ยฃ299 (this equates to ยฃ13 per game) for all seniors 18 and over. This means you can miss 8 games out of a potential 23 and the season ticket is still great value and a cost-effective option.
Unfortunately, the sales level for last seasonโs ยฃ199 ticket was not as successful as we had hoped for. We can understand partly the reasons but the demand, even at just over ยฃ8 per game wasnโt deemed value enough to attract more regular fans to commit up front. Simply, it was not financially viable for the football club and a risk we cannot afford to take again.
This seasonโs increase is necessary to enable us to continue to have a competitive playing budget whilst endeavouring toโ live within our meansโ. Letโs also say our costs are increasing all the time over a wide range of expense areas. We appreciate that the financial back-drop has changed for everyone and weโll all be facing our own personal challenges. However we have to protect the interests of your football club and continue to run the club with longevity in mind.
Please do your best to support us and help the club push forward and build on what has been a hugely successful season so far, however it ends. Letโs be fair, your team has been in top spot this season, the top three for quite some time and is finishing sixth, in the now shortened regular season. A great achievement and great credit to Pete Wild and the boys!
To assist you in purchasing a season ticket weโll now offer you five months to pay, meaning you can spread the cost until the end of September with ยฃ60 per month instalments. Please, please buy outright if you can, but for those where a season ticket is a stretch, we are determined to try and help.
To take advantage of the instalment plan youโll have to pay your first payment by the 7 June. (Please select May instalment first). For those wishing to pay in full you can do this until the end of July (this may-be pushed back depending on the start of the 20/21 schedule.)
- Our commitment to Children
For our younger supporters aged 12-17, your season ticket will stay the same price at ยฃ75, making the price per game ยฃ3.26.
Children Under 12 โ our commitment in making our football affordable for families continues.ย With all senior season tickets, weโll be offering up to three kidsโ FREE season tickets per paying senior. So please order all childrenโs tickets with your senior ticket before the 31 July 20. If you donโt order a childโs season ticket youโll have to pay per game on the turnstile. Please only order what you need.
Despite increased costs, our โpay on the dayโ prices will remain the same.
You’ll be able to purchase all tickets/instalments from the online shop www.fchtshop.com โ as & when and if things change weโll have our usual season ticket mornings/evenings.
Please donโt forget, as a season ticket holder youโll always get priority access to purchase any other ticketed games subject to availability.
Season ticket collection will be confirmed during pre-season. Weโll keep you updated on deadlines for purchasing as & when we have more information from the National League.
Please show your commitment in buying a season ticket.
We are the โShaymenโ!
