Bristol City fans can take advantage of cut-price season tickets
Bristol City are offering loyal supporters reduced season ticket prices in three of their four stands for next season.
In a bid to maintain support into 2010-11, chairman Steve Lansdown has sanctioned cuts for the Atyeo, Dolman and Williams stands.

Currently, 11,391 fans have bought season tickets to watch City's home games this campaign. Prices have gone up in the Wedlock Stand. A club spokesman said the 2009-10 price in the 'East End' had been a one-off, low offer that quickly sold out.
The price of Premier Seating in the Williams Stand has also been increased.
Season tickets go on sale from Monday and are available at the 'earlybird' rate until March 6 for current season-ticket holders and club members. Prices will increase afterwards.
Lansdown, pictured, and manager Gary Johnson are still hoping the club can make the Championship play-offs this season.
Lansdown said: "Our season-ticket holders are our most important supporters and we have worked very hard to make sure our offers for the 2010-11 season reflect value for money in a difficult economic climate.
"The revenue generated from these sales is vital for the club, as it helps cash flow whilst at the same time allowing us to budget for the year ahead more accurately.
"Quite simply, the more money generated, the more we can strengthen the squad and help the club progress. I encourage all season-ticket holders to take advantage of these offers."
Non-members wishing to buy a season ticket (otherwise known as a season card) at the reduced rates should first pay for a 2009-10 membership (£20 adults, £5 Under-16s, £40 family – two adult, two Under-16s).
Existing season-card holders are able to use their current smart card for next season if they renew.

“Rob, Hanham - I don't think these posts are from Gasheads. They're from City fans who have the temerity to criticise their own club. Free speach - who'd allow it?
Now I admit I am a Gashead and I was just wondering who are these 'loyal' supporters the article refers to? Are they the ones Mr Johnson approves of or not?”

“I think that Mr lansdowne should not be looking for us to fund his ambitions. He is happy to make quotes about ambition of the club but he is not happy to put his hands in his pocket.”

“This story, if you insert the "between the lines" part should read "we are very short of cash as the crowds are well down on the last 2 seasons, so we need an urgent cashflow injection". It's nothing to do with loyalty to supporters and everytthing to do with covering this seasons losses. Bradford City made the same mistake.”

“I think you're great Steve but forget it - 10,000 SC's next season if you keep backing the manager and w continue on our downward spiral.
We will NOT make the playoffs.”
