| Pre-season admission prices 2005/06 |
This pre-season Kingstonian have secured three home friendlies against opposition from higher levels in the football Pyramid, namely AFC Wimbledon (for the Trevor Jones Memorial Trophy on Tuesday 26th July), Bognor Regis Town (on Saturday 30th July), and FA Premier League team Fulham (on Wednesday 3rd August).
In previous seasons, the club have raised admission prices depending on the identity of the opposition. Howeverm this will no longer dbe the case and ground admission prices will be exactly the same as for Ryman League Division One matches during the new season, namely:
£7 Adult
£5 OAP/Student
£3 Junior (Under 16's)
Once again, there will be no extra charge to sit in the main stand to watch the match. |
|
| Ground admission prices 2005/06 |
For the first time at Kingsmeadow Stadium, the club have decided to simplify its pricing structure - instead of charging one price to stand up, and another price to sit down, the K's will be charging the same price for both! The pricing structure will be as follows:
£7 Adult
£5 OAP/Student
£3 Junior (Under 16's)
It is believed that these prices will be on a par with most clubs in the league next season - in what is one of the best grounds at this level - though from now on transferring to the main stand will be absolutely free of charge.
Also, at each home game, two local schools will be selected to receive vouchers that will give children free entry to a game as long as they are accompanied by an adult. Local Little Leagues will also be benefiting from this plan. |

| Players, contracts and wages |
Kingstonian FC are pleased to have secured the services of Bashiru Alimi, Martyn Lee, Phil Ruggles and Richard Taylor on contract for next season over the past month. In total, fifteen players from last season have been invited to return for pre-season training, joined by a number of hopefuls looking to make the squad for next season.
It has been with great relief that the uncertainties regarding regular wage payments encountered under the previous regime of Rajesh Khosla have been resolved since the takeover. To facilitate this, the players have been paid on 'gross' account (as opposed to 'net' payments) since the February date, whilst the bookkeeping and accounts have been brought up to a suitable standard.
The club will be meeting with the players over the next seven days to clarify and arrange any recalculations regarding this and wages relating back to the fortnight covering the takeover. |
