Keep the faith

PAUL DICKOV: reduced budget for the 2012/13 League One season.

Latics ask for support as season tickets discount deadline looms
ATHLETIC fans can this week make a difference to the club’s prospects for next season.
The deadline for discounted season tickets is noon on Friday.

Sales have risen significantly over the past few days and with prices unchanged since 2007-08, the hope is the trend will continue up to the cut-off point.

The more cash that arrives as the ticket office at Boundary Park, the more will be apportioned to the arsenal of manager Paul Dickov as he bids to again improve on the club’s placing in npower League One.

“Sales rose significantly yesterday,” said Athletic chief executive Neil Joy, “And we managed to sell over 300.

“That is certainly more than we have sold in a single day for the past three or four years.

Athletic have been linked with a swoop for free-scoring Altrincham striker Damien Reeves.
