Oxford United chairman Nick Merry has issued a thank-you to season ticket holders and is giving something back to them by offering them the chance to bring in two friends at a reduced rate when the U's take on Torquay on Thursday, October 11.

Merry said: "With almost a quarter of the season gone I would like to thank our loyal season ticket holders for their continued support and loyalty.

"Once again they backed their team by booking their seats for every Blue Square Premier game, and to sell over 3,000 season tickets is a tremendous achievement.

"As a special thank-you, I would like to give something back to those fans, and offer them the chance to bring two of their family, friends, or colleagues along to the home game against Torquay on October 11 at a reduced rate.

"Each season ticket holder can buy up to two tickets anywhere in the ground for just £10 each, or in one of the lounges for £24. It's really just a small thank-you for all the support, but will allow them to bring people along to enjoy what should be a great game against one of our promotion rivals.

"The game is live on TV so we'd like people to come along, get behind United and create that special atmosphere that seems to happen here for night games, and show people at home what a great club this is."
