Fresh from the recent unveiling of new manager Ian Foster, Dundalk FC have put renewed emphasis on season ticket bookings, and have set a target of reaching 300 prior to Christmas. The response of supporters is encouraging so far, with the level of season tickets sales likely to have a bearing on the 2010 budget.

The closing date for bookings for the special Early-bird Season Ticket offers is December 22nd, and to avail of any of these offers only requires a booking deposit of €20. Colm Crosson added “The early-bird offers include a Price Guarantee, Phased Payment option, and a juvenile age category extension up to under-16 years. The juvenile ticket is only €75, and with an adult ground ticket being €170 this represent less the €9.50 per game. Adult stand is only an extra €40 while there are also lower cost concession tickets available. All you need do to avail of any of these options is to book your season ticket with a deposit of €20. You can book this at the Oriel Park office or alternatively at the DFC Trust Stand at the Marshes”

The new 2010 Fastfix logo jerseys are also now on sale from the special Christmas DFC Trust Stand at the Marshes Shopping Centre, and at the Club Shop in Oriel Park.

Both home and away replica Umbro kits are in stock in a variety of sizes from children to extra-large, with the new away kit in red already proving to be a top choice for Christmas gifts. Season Tickets booking, season ticket gift vouchers and general sports merchandise vouchers are also available, in addition to a wide range of Dundalk FC branded sports wear - from training gear, to tracksuits to leisure wear. You can even acquire low-cost items like DFC branded mugs, memory sticks, and pens, along with other novelty and gift items.

This special initiative is taken to you by Dundalk FC Trust and the stand is open this weekend and each weekend in December from Thursday through Sunday, and every day of Christmas week (non-stop from December 17 to December 27).
