Harrogate Town has sold over 1,000 season tickets for the first time in its history.
Earlier this year, the club set the target as part of a broader strategy to expand its fan base.
Average attendances have risen compared to last season, with home supporter numbers increasing by more than 30% over the past two years.
The club also set a new home league record attendance in March when 4,136 supporters watched their home fixture against Carlisle, the highest figure in over a century.
Season ticket prices have been frozen for the upcoming season, with new initiatives introduced to encourage more fans to the Exercise Stadium.
These include a new 18–21 ticket category, free admission for under-8s with a paying adult, family discounts, early-bird pricing and a “refer a friend” scheme.
The club have enjoyed a strong start to the season, taking four points from their opening two games in League Two.
Home fans were treated to a six-goal thriller on Saturday (9th August), as Town drew 3-3 with Grimsby Town.
Speaking after the game, Manager Simon Weaver said:
“We showed that we're a really capable team and built on the performance from last week in terms of an attacking threat.
"We got ourselves into a great position, a 3-1, scored some really good goals and it's good to see new players make an immediate impact in front of home fans.
"To be honest, I didn't see us conceding two late ones, but to be fair, they threw everyone forward.
"We dropped a little, which is natural to be protective, but you've still got to show intensity in our defensive third and a couple of times we could have laid a glove and been a bit tighter and it proved costly.”
The match drew a crowd of 3,562 at Wetherby Road - a new record for a season-opening fixture at the ground.
