OXFORD United are closing in on their target of 4,000 season ticket sales with five weeks still remaining before the start of the season.

This morning the number surpassed the 3,854 total from the last campaign - which included sales of half-season tickets, lounges and boxes.

It comes with the club predicting a surge before the weekend, with a significant proportion of last season's holders yet to renew.

The deadline for those fans who want to keep their seat for the 2016/17 season is at 5.30pm tomorrow (Friday).

United believe they have only sold more than 4,000 season tickets three times in 15 years at the Kassam Stadium and a strong finish to the summer could set a new record.
