Then, Leeann Dempster issued a rallying call for supporters to help if they were in a position to do so.

It was a message reiterated by the club’s head of Marketing and brand partnerships, Greg McEwan.

He said: "The fans have been first class in buying their season tickets, buying the new home shirt and generally supporting the club.

"Sport in general is struggling a little bit through this crisis. You see how it's affecting clubs and it's great to see fans rallying around.

"It's so vitally important that fans do because this is very real, that without their support there might not be a club.

"It's not a false promise to fans. Everything they are doing is helping us to survive on a month-to-month basis to allow us to come out of it as strongly as we possibly can, whenever that might be.”

The club have been flexible with finance options and deadlines.

It was announced last week that the deadline for the early bird option had been extended with the new date Thursday, 4 June at 5pm which allows fans to purchase a season ticket at a discounted price.
