STOURBRIDGE FC have announced a slight increase in admission and season ticket prices for the upcoming Southern League campaign.

After holding admission rates since 2008, the Glassboys have decided to increase admission for adults and senior citizens by a pound to £9 and £5 respectively.

The club say the rise is due to the increase in VAT earlier this year and the costs of running the club at its current level.

Entry for children aged 12 and over remains at £4, while those under 12 will still be admitted free if accompanied by an adult.

Season ticket prices are also going up, with an adult ticket costing £140.

Meanwhile the club’s committee accepted a proposal to become a limited company at a recent EGM and supporters can now join the club as members.

A membership scheme has been introduced that is open to all adults from the age of 18-years-old and senior citizens at a price of £10 per year. The membership provides a right to take an interest into the activities of the club and a voting right at the AGM. Season Ticket Holders will need to become a member to have a voting right at the AGM in future.

Stourbridge kick-off their pre-season fixtures a week on Saturday, July 9 at Bartley Green. They then have a home friendly at Amblecote against League One Cheltenham Town on Tuesday July 12.
