Alan Hardy to review Notts County ticket prices

Alan Hardy has confirmed that he will be ordering a review of ticket prices at Notts County.

The Nottinghamshire businessman, who will take full control at Meadow Lane from Ray Trew on January 9, has also decided to cap ticket prices for the first game of his tenure, against Mansfield Town.

"It is vitally important that between now and the end of the season every man, woman and child firmly get behind the club," Hardy told the Nottingham Post.

"It is my intention to make following Notts County as affordable as possible for our next generation of supporters."

Hardy, who agreed a deal to buy the club from Trew just before Christmas, is hoping for a crowd of 10,000 for the derby clash.

He wrote on Twitter: "Ticket prices for Mansfield game will be £20 MAXIMUM anywhere in the ground for super Magpie supporters! All kids under 12 will be FREE!!!"

Hardy has been alarmed by falling home crowds at Meadow Lane, with attendances in the mid-3,000s over the last few months for the most part.

Just 2,736 fans saw the game against Cambridge United on home soil at the end of November.
