YORK City Knights have revealed that all fully paid-up club members come March will receive a free season ticket for next season.

Chief executive Steve Ferres said the offer was a token of appreciation to all fans who have helped the club get off the ground and was the club's way of helping to ensure members got good value for money.

Annual memberships cost £250 and the deadline for full payment for 2003 in order to take advantage of the free offer for next season is March 1.

"It's just a gesture from the club to say we appreciate and acknowledge what the fans and the people of York have done, and we genuinely want to give them value for money," said Ferres.
