COLCHESTER United have frozen their season-ticket prices for the 2017/18 campaign.

Packages will be on sale from Monday, June 19 with fans again able to take advantage of the online Early Bird discount, which runs through to Monday, July 3.

Existing season-ticket holders' seats will be held until the U's open day on Sunday, July 16.

Colchester just missed out on the play-offs last season and had a memorable campaign at the Weston Homes Community Stadium.

Only Doncaster Rovers picked up more points in front of their own supporters and only Plymouth scored more on home turf.

Now U's head coach John McGreal is keen for fans to be right behind the team again when things get underway in August.

He said: "The fans backed us brilliantly throughout last season and their support in the home fixtures really played their part in getting the team over the line to some crucial victories, particularly in the second half of the season.

"It was great to hear the amount of noise created around the stadium and the togetherness and unity we saw during this season will be just as important when we begin our push again from August onwards."

Annual subscriptions will be on offer again to allow fans to spread the cost of their season ticket over the course of the year in easy monthly payments.
