NORWICH City Football Club has announced season ticket prices for next season.

Key features this year include:

- Every spare penny raised goes to Paul Lambert's first team budget

- Best prices for those who renew by first deadline on March 6

- Prices for early renewals guaranteed whatever our divisional status

- Supporters can once again spread payments interest free up to 12 months

- Price rises for ground season tickets of £1 per game for adults, senior citizens and under-21s and 50p for under-16s

- New season tickets on sale from day one

City currently have the fifth-highest crowds outside the Premiership, with an average of 24,462 packing into Carrow Road for games so far this season.

That's up by 128 on the same time last season in the Championship - and with 19,802 members of the Yellow Army holding season tickets for the current campaign.

A season ticket remains the only way to guarantee your seat to watch all the action in 2010-11.

City Chief Executive David McNally had this message for the Canary faithful: "Those of us who are lucky enough to work at the Club recognise that we are here for these reasons alone - we are here to support our first team and serve our supporters.

"You help the Club enormously and you can help again by renewing your season ticket.

"By now you will all be aware of the financial challenges facing your Club. Rest assured that all options are being considered as we attempt to restructure our balance sheet. However, taking everything into consideration, we felt it was necessary to increase ground season ticket prices this year by £1 per game for adults and 50p for juniors.

"Your Board is fully aware of its responsibilities and whilst we are proud of the Club's incredible past, it is our job to help ensure we are around for another 108 years. This will involve making tough decisions but please remember that they are all taken in the best interests of Norwich City Football Club.

"Finally, we do recognise that you deserve better than the disappointments of the last few seasons. Whilst we can never guarantee success, we can promise that we are all absolutely focused on helping Paul and his team bring some success to your Football Club."

In addition to the incredible numbers flocking to Carrow Road this season, the superb support of the travelling City fans has seen an average of 1,499 attend our away games - that's up by nearly 50% on this time last season (1,080).

Manager Paul Lambert said: "You honestly can't stress enough how big a part the crowd plays for this Football Club.

"I said right from the start to Gary Karsa and Ian Culverhouse - you'd just love to do something for them.

"Geography-wise it's not an easy part of the country in terms of travel but they are there home and away in their droves. They are just terrific and you'd love to give something back to them for that support if you can.

"From all of the players and staff at Carrow Road and Colney I want to say a massive thank you for your support this season."

All season ticket holders and members will receive their information this week through the post.
