<description><![CDATA[I spotted on the press release that the 2025/26 Season Tickets will be on sale this weekend.<br />
<br />
Any insider info on prices? Couldn't find last years prices when I looked in past few weeks as my daughter will likely be joining me.<br />
<br />
Are we as fans expecting a price increase for the new season on individual match tickets / on the gate price?]]></description>

<br />
This is their retained list. They have or had 30 contracted players on their books, plus they had four on loan so essentially only needed 7 out of those 30 to field a team. They finished 14th.<br />
<br />
They must be paying £25k a week in wages for that lot. How can they possibly afford that?!!]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[It's the last Women's game of the season on Sunday when the 1st team take on Stockwood in a 2.00 kick off.<br />
<br />
The league and cup may now be done and dusted but there is still a big prize to be had on Sunday - win or draw and we will have gone through the whole league season undefeated. That would be some achievement. However, you can bet your bottom dollar that Stockwood will be out to take the points and finish their season on a high so this promises to be an exciting and challenging contest. There's a lot of football still to be played and your positive support might just help get us over the line. 2.00 at the Tiger Turf.]]></description>

Hanksy the goal machine? All action and tireless Ed Williams? Dawson driving us on in his last season? The man mountain BRE?<br />
<br />
Young Player of the year is surely a straight fight between playmaker Pinchard and the exciting Watts.<br />
