DOVER ATHLETIC are giving fans an extra incentive to buy a season ticket now by offering discounts to early buyers.

Whites have frozen the ticket prices for next season in a bid to give manager Clive Walker a big enough budget to win promotion. But fans who purchase their tickets this month will save up to £30 on the full price, and a smaller discount will be offered up to June 24.

Director Steve Williams said: "The club would rather have decreased prices after suffering another relegation, but we have a CVA debt that we need to service as well as offering the manager a top-notch budget to make sure Dover Athletic bounce straight back up.

"Our supporters have been brilliant and fiercely loyal and we hope that will continue next season. We are giving fans the chance to save money on a season ticket by buying one now. The prices will increase after May 31 and go up again after June 24, so anyone who wants to save a few quid on their ticket should get one as soon as possible."

The club is also offering a Saver Ticket (£48), which will give fans seven matches for the price of six. All tickets are for league games only.

Mr Williams added: "The saver ticket will allow fans to attend any of seven league games. A supporter can just pick and choose which game he or she wants to watch and their ticket will be clipped on entrance to the ground."
