MAIDSTONE United FC are urging supporters to back the club’s bid for promotion next season by buying a season ticket.

The Bass Brewers Kent League and Cup winners need to win the title again to be sure of elevation to the Dr Martens League and they want to raise money during the summer to strengthen the squad.

Stones’ match day co-ordinator Chris Baker said: “A season ticket offers fantastic value for money and with the ever increasing costs of running a football club, even at Kent League level, the advance revenue enables the club to plan another successful campaign.”

A one-price ticket for seating and standing at Central Park costs £60 for adults and £30 concessions (under-14 and seniors) for all Kent League games in the 2002/03 season.

Season ticket holders must pay for cup games, including home matches in the FA Cup, which Stones enter for the first time since the 1991/92 season.

Supporters can also join the 100 Club and obtain a nine-year season ticket at £540 paid for in 12 monthly instalments.

Match day entrance charges for next season have been increased from £4 to £5 for adults and from £2 to £3 for concessions for seating or standing at Central Park.

Any season ticket holder or 100 club member who joins or renews their club membership will receive a second season ticket.
