Hartlepool United supporters can buy a season ticket at Victoria Park for just £100  for the 2011/12 campaign.

The club today unveiled its initiative to boost attendances, and if 4,000 fans take up the offer by July 15, then they will cost £100 - an average of £4.34 a game.

With attendances dropping at the club and Pools' average gates among the lowest in the Football League, chief executive Russ Green admits the club had to do something.

"We are committed to driving the club forward and improving the journey we have been on,'' he said.

"We are well aware of the economic situation and know people can't always afford to come to the games.

"If we can hit our attainable target of 4,000 then we will be offering affordable football for the whole of the town and now we have come up with something we think can prove a hit.''

The £100 price is equivalent to the cost of someone paying through the gate for five home games next season.

There's three price bands, depending on how many tickets are sold: 4,000 - £100; 3,500 - £150 and 3,000 - £200.

If the 3,000 target is not met, prives revert to the early bird price for the current campaign.

They are available from Monday, with £100 payable when committing to the club. If targets aren't met then the £100 can be used as deposite for a season ticket, or entry into the first six home games of the season.
