Colchester United are delighted to be able to offer a finance payment plan to renewing and prospective season ticket holders this season.

The payment plan means that fans can now pay for their season tickets in ten bite-sized chunks over the course of the 2009/10 campaign, making it more affordable than ever to get on board.

Ticket Office Supervisor Lee Hyde told the official website: "We are particularly pleased to be able to introduce this season.

"Following numerous enquiries over the last couple of years, we are delighted that we have been able to get somebody on board to provide this for us.

"At present, it is a difficult time for many people financially in the current climate and we feel that this opportunity makes the season ticket package more affordable for anyone who may be interested in a payment plan."

This will mean, for example, if a season ticket is purchased at £380 and repaid in 10 equal monthly instalments of £41.26, the interest payable would be £32.60 with a total repayable of £412.60.

A full leaflet detailing information about the finance plan can be provided upon request.
