Peterborough United chairman Darragh MacAnthony admitted he was 'speechless' after he was informed that the club had already sold over 5,000 season tickets for the 2009-2010 Championship campaign.

With plenty of savings still to be made by purchasing a season ticket, MacAnthony has hailed the club's supporters and has praised their response to the success on the pitch.

'I have been left speechless and amazed at how our supporters have backed the football club once again. You are only as good as your season ticket numbers and to see this massive increase once more is like a breath of fresh air.

'There is no doubt we have excellent supporters. Top fans for a top team! I would like to thank the supporters for the incredible support and I am sure everyone is already looking forward to the start of the season in the Championship,' MacAnthony told theposh.com.

Fans are reminded they can purchase season tickets online at www.theposhtickets.com or by visiting the London Road Box Office, which is open from 9am until 5pm Monday-Thursdays and from 10am until 5pm on Fridays (althought the club is closed this Friday). Fans can also purchase a season ticket by calling the 24-hour hotline number 0844 847 1934.
