FC UNITED have announced an original initiative to counter the credit crunch and encourage more fans to buy season tickets.

The Rebels are introducing a 'pay what you can afford' scheme that will see pay anything upwards of £90 for a season ticket.

Last season the club made a financial loss selling season tickets at an average price of £140 but hope this scheme can raise an ambitious cash target of £125,000.

Rebels spokesman Jules Spencer commented: "We believe this is unprecedented in football.

"Some may question whether we're being foolhardy, but why shouldn't we trust supporters?

"This is about empowerment, of collective responsibility, of us all pulling together to ensure the club's future. It's about recognising some may not be able to afford last season's prices, but some will be able to afford more."

The club will monitor the sales of tickets over the next month before deciding whether or not to continue with the scheme.
