Last updated : 04 March 2009 By Kevin Markey
Despite being in League One, the supporters have backed the team, with a bumper number having already taken advantage of an 'early bird' offer which ended on Monday.

Over 70% have ignored the 'credit crunch' to took advantage of the early renewals offer - to give the Whites a massive boost for the final two months of the season.

Ken Bates said: "I'd like to say a big thank you to all our fans for their continued show of support. It really is encouraging, particularly at this time. With the early renewals, we have a better idea of what our support will be next season and it helps with our budgets, which is very important."

Simon Grayson added: "It's great news so many have renewed. It's a massive boost for us, knowing that so many people are backing us and have already shown their support for next season. Hopefully, we will achieve what we are aiming to achieve. I've said all along that the support of our fans is vital and whatever we achieve, we will do it together."
