Wanderers are on course for more record crowd figures after an unprecedented ticket rush.

More than 16,000 season tickets have already been snapped up - 1,500 more than at this stage last summer and just 3,500 short of the final sales figure - as supporters have responded to the Whites soaraway Premiership success and UEFA Cup qualification.

And the figure is likely to be swelled further in the run-up to Saturday's early-purchase discount deadline.

Latest figures also show that the online facility, introduced for the first time this summer, has proved popular with 2,000 existing season tickets holders renewing over the internet. Wanderers are now planning to extend the scheme to allow supporters to buy tickets for home games on an a match-by-match basis.

Wanderers commercial director, Gareth Moores, said: "We are delighted our supporters have backed the football club by taking advantage of the great benefits a season ticket has to offer.

"Demand has risen to such an extent that we extended the original early purchase deadline by a further seven days so that supporters could continue to benefit from the huge savings. For example, an adult can pick up a season ticket for as little as £389 if they purchase a season ticket before Saturday's 3.30pm early purchase deadline."
