Opening up

The Valley commercial centre will re-open on Saturdays, starting this weekend.

It means that fans who have still to secure their 2010/11 season ticket or want to avoid queuing at the opening home game against AFC Bournemouth on Saturday, August 7th, will be able to do the business between 9am and 1pm.

The commercial centre has been closed at weekends over the summer period, while the Valley Superstore will be open as usual on Saturday from 10am-4pm for fans to buy the new home shirt or 2009/10 League Goals DVD, which is set to hit the shelves for the first time later this week.

For those fans who have already ordered their season ticket, the news is that the mail-out operation is proceeding well. More than half went in the post by Monday night and many supporters reported that they had arrived on Tuesday morning.

The club now expects the job to be completed in time for delivery by this weekend at the latest, but is still asking supporters to wait until next Monday, August 2nd, to contact the commercial centre in case of queries.

Sales stood at 8,361 on Tuesday afternoon.
