Derby County has a plan for every fan as we bid to make watching the Rams at Pride Park Stadium as accessible as possible.

The club recognises that many of our supporters are unable to sign up to a full season ticket - but still plan on seeing as many games as they can.

Therefore we are delighted to announce a new initiative allowing them to enjoy many of the benefits of being a season ticket holder with a package tailored to their needs.

Signing up to our half-season plan will mean supporters can guarantee the same seat for plenty of big matches and make great savings on the price compared to buying individual match tickets.

The two available packages each include 12 home games spread across 2008/09 and both also cover the clash with Nottingham Forest.

President and CEO Tom Glick said: "We have introduced the half-season plan because we know there are large numbers of fiercely loyal Derby County fans who cannot commit to a full season ticket.

"We know, however, that these supporters still want to see the Rams as often as they can during the season and we believe this plan covers all bases.

"Many of the benefits of being a full season ticket holder are available to vast numbers of fans who wouldn't normally be able to enjoy them.

"It is our aim to make Pride Park a fortress and if we are to do that we need the stadium packed to the rafters every week with your support.

"This is one of a number of great ticketing initiatives we are introducing to make sure that supporting Derby County and being part of the matchday experience is as accessible as possible to as many people as possible."

The club has put together two packages - the black package and white package - that each include 12 home games in 2008/09.

These have been selected to run throughout the campaign rather than be split at the halfway point of our home games.

And both include the visit of Nottingham Forest on Sunday November 2 so whichever package you choose, you'll guarantee your seat for the game against the Reds.

Package prices for adults are £240 in seat categories D and C, averaging out at just £20 per match, while in seat categories B and A it's £264 for the deal at £22 per match.

For seniors and young adults it's £144 in D and C, at £12 per match, and in B and A it's £168 at only £14 per match.

Juvenile packages cost £84 in D and C, at only £7 a match, and £132 at only £11 per match in categories B and A.

Prices for the club's youngest supporters - in the junior junior age range - are just £60 in categories D and C, only £5 per game, and £84 in B and A at £7 per match.

The two packages include the following home games:

Black - Doncaster Rovers (August 9), Southampton (August 23), Cardiff City (September 20), Norwich City (October 28), Nottingham Forest (November 2), Sheffield Wednesday (November 15), Watford (December 20), Queens Park Rangers (January 17), Blackpool (February 3), Swansea City (March 3), Burnley (April 4), Wolverhampton Wanderers (April 13).
