It means United fans buying a season ticket for next season will be paying similar prices to those paid in 2007/08.

But there is a time limit - and fans wanting to renew their tickets for the same seats will have only until the end of May to take advantage of the offer.

A Gallowgate End season ticket will be cut to £494 after being £543 this term
More than 50% of all seats will be available to season ticket holders for £26 or less a game

A further expansion of the family enclosure with the majority of Milburn Stand Level Seven seats available at special family prices and parent and child season tickets available at the equivalent of £21 a match, increasing the eligibility of junior price concessions from 16 to 18.

Llambias: "At a time when money is tight for supporters, football clubs have to recognise the sacrifices people make to continue following their team and offer any assistance they can in making games affordable to watch.

"We have decided to reduce the majority of prices back to 2007/08 levels to help fans because we appreciate the big commitment they make in buying their season tickets every year.

"We are also further increasing the Family Enclosure and raising the age of the junior price concession to 18 because young supporters represent our future."

"Those fans who bought season tickets in advance have shown a great deal of faith in the club and I will be contacting them by letter to outline why their continued support remains crucial to everything we hope to achieve at Newcastle United going forward.

"It has been a tough season, nobody will pretend otherwise, but together we must all look to better times ahead."

Season ticket renewal packs will be sent out in April with a closing date at the end of May.
