Football minnows Albion Rovers are offering one of the best bargains on offer from a senior football club in the British Isles - a season ticket for £10.
Fans of the Coatbridge-based club, which attracts only around 300 spectators per game, are being invited to pay what they can afford in an attempt to boost attendances and help refurbish the club's Cliftonhill ground.
It means the minimum price for 2014/15 season passes, which went on sale yesterday, is just £10 to cover administration costs.
Celtic fans are currently being asked to fork out £509 for a season ticket for the main stand at Celtic Park.
Rovers' move follows the success of a pilot in January when cash-strapped fans were invited to pay only what they saw fit for a game against Montrose. Brentford and Mansfield Town have boosted attendances with similar schemes. Rovers chairman John Devlin said it was a "fantastic offer" adding: "Obviously we're hoping people pay a bit more than £10 but we're grateful for any donations provided to us."
The website said that tickets have been "selling fast".
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
