£2 ticket deal cheers fans

CHRISTMAS will come early for Latics fans after admission prices were slashed for the League One clash with Exeter City at Boundary Park on December 12.

Adults will pay £2 while entry for pensioners and under 16s is only £1. Everyone attending the match will get a discount voucher worth £10 to spend in the club shop.

Supporters can simply turn up on the day and pay at the turnstiles with the exception of the Upper Main Stand for which tickets can be bought at the ticket office.

Latics sales and marketing manager Guy Walker said: “We know how tough it is financially at the moment and with Christmas coming up the finances tend to get even more critical.

“By offering these incredibly low admission prices we hope that the fans will appreciate our efforts and come along to support the team.”

The club had a similar offer two years ago and fans turned out in droves with 9,321 watching the Brighton game and 10,207 at the Northampton fixture.

Guy added: “If we can get similar numbers for the Exeter game that would be absolutely brilliant.

“The team has been struggling recently but if we can get the crowd behind them it can make all the difference.”
