Around 4,500 Huddersfield Town fans are set to be rewarded for their long-standing loyalty ahead of the club's inaugural Premier League campaign.

Back in March 2010, owner Dean Hoyle issued a ‘Personal Premiership Pledge’ to supporters who were prepared to back the club .

Alongside announcing the season-ticket details for the 2010-11 campaign, the 50-year-old made a guarantee to offer £100 season tickets to long-standing fans for the first season the club participated in the top flight – should they ever reach the highest echelon of English football.

Speaking at the time, Dean Hoyle said: “In 2009 when I became chairman of this great club, I set out my motives and ambitions.

“This heralded the real start of a new era and I called on people to join with me and our club on what promised to be an exciting journey.

“Just a year on from then, I now want to demonstrate my deep personal thanks by making my own personal pledge to the fans that have already joined with me and our club on the journey and backed us.

“This is my Personal Premiership Pledge : If we are able, one day, to be promoted to the Premiership and I am still chairman, then every fan who has been a season-ticket holder in either the 2008-09 or 2009-10 seasons – and then continued each year from 2010-11 – will be able to share in that success and be rewarded for that loyal and unstinting support.

“They will be truly special. Each of them will be able purchase a season-ticket for the first season in the Premiership for just £100.”

And less than a month since Town sealed their promotion to the top-flight with victory over Reading FC in the SkyBet Championship Play-Off, has kept to his word.
