They have also signed another keeper Steve Arnold from Sutton. Very experienced 35 year old.
Just wonder if, with the 7 substitute rule next season, if clubs will keep a keeper on the bench?
Bearing in mind how easy it is for a keeper to be sent-off nowadays (except in an FA Cup Final of course!) it always amazes me that clubs sometimes don't have a keeper on the bench even if it is a youth team player).

As for an extra keeper, it could be an expensive luxury especially with a limited budget to have one bench warming.
If your keeper picks up an injury (not in the game) or suspension then you can get an emergency loan. However to lose the keeper for any reason during the game a keeper on the bench is vital.
Tricky decision for the manager.

Re. 2025-2026 season tickets - 60%+ increase for concessions over last season’s prices and no “early bird” offers, which some other clubs are offering their supporters. Disappointing.

What about Uxbridge offering adult season tickets for £50 following there promotion to the southern league (Premier division).

Are we going to increase match day prices by 60%?

I very much doubt!

No announcement about season tickets, apart from the chairman mentioning it, in passing, at the end of a video. And why should we buy early? (like you say).

Match day prices are coming down from £19 to £15 which is a 21% reduction. It's the season tickets which will be increasing for some and that will feel steep given some STs did not rise for 2 seasons. Early bird offers only make sense for the club if they need to accelerate cashflow but I guess with the new investment that is not the biggest issue.

Ben Hudson did an update on twitter around a week or so ago. I'm pretty sure he announced match day prices and ST prices at the same time.

Contact the club and they’ll be able to provide you with one hopefully. They did last season.

Yes I too had a card season ticket as likewise I don’t have a suitable phone. Last year I had a lot of help from the club hopefully again this year? Would it be an idea if folk wanting their tickets could come to the club and buy them direct?
