DEAN HOYLE says once again breaking the 10,000 barrier for season-ticket sales is crucial to Huddersfield Town’s financial stability.

As the club fight for Championship survival, renewal rates of between £199 (as part of a family package) and £499 for adults are available until April 26.

For new customers, the adult figures run from £214 to £514, putting Town’s figures among the lowest in the second tier.

Town’s owner and chairman Hoyle who must work within Financial Fair Play rules which limit losses to £4m without penalty next season, hopes that will help maintain five-figure sales.

Ahead of Saturday’s crunch survival clash at Wolves, Hoyle said: “The bottom line is simple. We need to sell at least the same number as last year.

“We have tried to keep prices as similar to last season as possible. They are effectively at League I level, but we will hopefully be playing Championship football.

“We fully recognise that times are tough, and we have tried to make our season-tickets as affordable as we can, providing options like the new wider-ranging Under 23 category (previously it was students) and interest-free credit over 10 months.”

Town, who reported a loss of £5.7m last year, when the football expenditure was £8.09m, are taking the hit on the credit, and Hoyle continued:

“Season-ticket sales impact directly on the playing budget.

“The more we sell, the more money will be available. If we sell fewer, the budget will go down.

“In the end, it’s about how much the public of Huddersfield want Championship football. That’s certainly not an ultimatum, more a fact of life.

“I was always willing to subsidise the push for promotion to the Championship, but always said that once there, the club had to be run on a more self-sustaining footing.

“That doesn’t mean I won’t put in any more money, but I can only go so far, and Financial Fair Play means clubs have to develop income streams.

“Two of the biggest we have are season-ticket sales and pay-on-the-day receipts.”
