City have been so overwhelmed by the number of season-ticket sales that they have run out.

The club have been let down by printers who will not be able to deliver the remaining season- ticket books in time for the start of the campaign.

With more postal strikes on the way, City cannot guarantee those still waiting will get their tickets before Saturday. So instead the club are issuing them with match tickets to see the Macclesfield opener. These have been posted out, although ticket office B will be open on Saturday for collections only for those who have not received one in time.

City plan to send out the extra books later this week when the new batch arrives at Valley Parade. Fans are asked not to collect them on Saturday.
