Exeter City are introducing a number of food and beverage special offers ahead of the busy home fixture schedule in February in a bid to help fans save a few precious pennies.
Whereas the club's loyal fans have, on average, a single home game to budget for every other week, due to postponements this season and the club progressing to the area final of the Johnstones Paint Trophy, the Grecians have no fewer than five home games during the next month.
"Ideally of course the fans would like to see a reduction in gate prices," said marketing manager Ross Trant.
"However, it is a very difficult situation. It was a monumental effort to get the game against Sheffield Wednesday played, but due to the extreme weather conditions the attendance was significantly smaller, add the Boxing Day postponement of the Swindon game into the mix and we have taken a fair old hit in the budgeted gate income.
"That is the reality of the situation. We have a lot of games coming up and many fans will not want to miss out. If you are a family attending the park, it may only be a couple of pounds saving as you walk away from the kiosks, but over five games it suddenly stacks up.
"It is important that we do something, however small, to recognise that our fans will be stretching their wallets and purses in order to watch us during the next month, which potentially on the pitch could be very exciting."
