More than 95% of season ticket holders who have renewed have taken up 'Pledge Season Tickets', and Saints' chief executive Allan Robson is encouraged by the support the club is receiving.

"I'd like to say thank you to all our supporters," he said. "The number of season ticket holders renewing already confirms the loyalty Saints fans feel towards the club, and with so many of them having taken the Pledge a strong message is being sent to the players when they return for pre-season training in two weeks time."

The club has also resolved the issue that resulted in delays in the receipt of renewal forms by some existing season ticket holders. These should be received in the next few days. Supporters can also renew over the phone with the Saints Ticket Office on 01604 581000 or on-line via the Saints official website.
