Terriers fans set record for season ticket sales

Huddersfield Town will be cheered on by a record number of season ticket holders in their debut Premier League season after a bumper day of sales on Monday.

More than 17,500 had already been sold ahead of the Terriers making it to the promised land, and after the remainder went on sale on Monday, that total is now up to nearly 20,200.

David Wagner’s men begin their campaign against Crystal Palace on the first day of the season, with a game against fellow promoted side Newcastle United following a week later.

Their relatively kind start to the season continues with a second home match in a row in August when they welcome Southampton to the John Smith’s Stadium, ahead of their first true test against a recognised title-contender when they host Spurs at the end of September.

And Wagner will hope the support of a packed home stadium can spur his side on to a season of survival in the Premier League.

“Everyone connected with the club should be very proud of this achievement ahead of what will be a landmark season,” said the club’s commercial director Sean Jarvis after Monday’s sale.

“The demand for season cards was completely unprecedented, which I believe is testament to all the hard work that has gone into the club over many years.

“Huddersfield Town is a community club and it is superb to see fans coming together to back the team in the new Premier League season.

“The hard work will continue at the club to ensure we are prepared and ready for the season come August 12.”
