Meanwhile, the Reds have disclosed how many season tickets have been bought ahead of the 2024-25 campaign.

Following the Reds’ win at Wembley on May 19, Scott Lindsey’s side are now ready to embark on what will be the club’s fourth season in League One.

Last season saw the club’s average home attendance rise to 3,557 - the highest in the club’s history - with the record previously being 3,486 in the 2013-14 season.

Last season’s average attendance represents an overall 56% increase when compared to the 2021-22 season, where average attendance was 2,277. Now they will be hoping to achieve new records when they return to League One.

Since tickets went on sale on Saturday (June 1), when more than 600 were sold.

The club said more than 50% of the people who purchased season tickets on Saturday were new season ticket holders.

And after the first day of 2024-25 sales, the Reds were already halfway to beating last year's total sales number.

A seat reserve for those renewing from the 2023-24 season, alongside an early bird window for new season ticket holders, will see season tickets listed at a reduced price until July 1.
