With the number of teams in the Prem (21) that's a mere £100 for a full season, so a season ticket at (for instance) £90 is a steal and I think that's very affordable. That kind of price wouldn't be bad in the UCL1 either IMO (even with only 17 teams ). Ultimately we must commit financially to our club, it will become what we make it.
Anything like £100 to support my favourite team for the whole season would just be superb and if it was that price, I'd probably even buy an ST for myself, despite being away at uni for the majority of the season!

As much as the prospect of level 9/10 football is a strange one, it certainly has its perks that's for sure, cheap prices and every away game within an hour's drive away!

From a personal point of view i would guess at about 100 to 120 season tickets for us , anything over that will be good as far as i am concerned. Looking at an average of about 350, i have spoken to many people who i know did not attend that last season at Nene Park who have said they will be coming next season so here,s hoping

As a fellow football fan who has seen their club shafted by certain people I wish them well, I look forward to locking horns with them next season.

Yes Pitcheero said that the ground that they would play at would have to be of a certain standard which of course it is not , unless they have plans to play somewhere else, possibly BPW? With one of the people at the helm that would be a logical step

...and they wouldn`t be able to play at BPW at present either because they have no floodlights!

Besides, KFC were supposed to send a deposit and application form into the NSYL for consideration for entry 2 weeks ago - and they haven`t even done that!

To date the only `proper` applications for next season have come from Stony Stratford Town, Irchester United, Wellingborough Town and DesboroughTown, while `tentative` enquiries have been received from Netherton, Peterborough Parkway, Shefford Town and KFC.

Netherton and Parkway are unlikely to be accepted due to their standard of grounds, KFC we know about and Shefford is too far away (they would play at Baldock).
