OLDHAM Rugby League Club has launched its 2021 season ticket campaign by holding prices at this year's levels and enabling fans to pay in three instalments.

Supporters who make early-bird purchases before midnight on January 15 will get the equivalent of three free games out of the 13 home games in the Betfred Championship, all of which are valid on the season ticket.

If spectators are not allowed into grounds early on, non-season-ticket holders will face a pay-to-view fee to watch games online, but those with season tickets will have free access to all home and away games until fans are allowed back in.

In view of Covid-19 hardships and the investment that's gone into building a squad for 2021, the club hopes fans will rally round to buy season tickets..

Said chairman Chris Hamilton: "With three matches free for early-bird buyers, season tickets are great value for money with an adult seat holder saving £57 and a pensioner saving £51. This is a rallying call to our supporters."

To use the instalment plan, spread over three monthly payments, fans need to ring 07904 898177 before December 31 or email enquiries@roughyeds.co.uk, providing name, address, type of ticket required and contact telephone number.

Early Bird prices are seats – adult £190, concessions (65+) £170 and juniors (under-16) £40. Standing – adult £170, concessions £150 and juniors £20.

Payment is by card online, via the club website, or by card or cash in the Roughyeds office at the Vestacare Stadium, which will be open on Monday, December 28, from 1pm to 3pm, Monday, January 4, from 4pm to 6pm, Wednesday. January 6, from 5pm to 6pm, Thursday January 7, from 5pm to 6pm.
