Oldham Athletic's 'Early Bird' season ticket offer has gone into extra time.

The deadline for the discounted rates was set to pass tonight, but supporters now have an additional four weeks to take advantage of the deal.

Prices have increased by at least £34 from this time last year, with an adult season ticket costing £320 under the Early Bird offer, as opposed to £286 12 months ago.

However, the Early Bird savings are on average greater than a year ago, with fans getting the equivalent of 11 matches for free in comparison to matchday prices.

And chairman Frank Rothwell has appealed to supporters to continue backing the club at Boundary Park as they bid to return to the Football League.

In a video released by Oldham Athletic, Rothwell said: "I'm pleased to confirm that we're extending the Early Bird off up to Friday 31 May.

"The Rothwell family have invested heavily in Oldham Athletic over the last two years and to keep on we do need everybody's support. We need the support of everybody in Oldham.

"We're approaching the second year (anniversary) of owning Oldham Athletic and the Rothwell family would love to thank everyone who has supported us in these two years. It's been a fantastic trip so far.

"I'm asking everybody who hasn't bought a (season) ticket yet to get behind Oldham Athletic in the 2024/25 season.

"Please join with the Rothwell family and all your other friends and supporters of Oldham Athletic and go ahead and take benefit of the early bird deal."

This is the third time the Early Bird deal has been extending, with the club initially reacting swiftly and proactively to criticism from fans to an initial short window, with the Early Bird deal set to end before the end of last season, on April 19.

This was extended to May 5, but supporters now have until May 31 to make their discounted season ticket purchase.

Season tickets can be bought online or in person at the club's ticket office.
