The two sides currently occupy the bottom two spots in League Two and drew 1-1 when they met at the Racecourse Ground on 1st March.

Later Mr Derry and his consortium said that the reduction was their idea, fulfilling a pledge made my Mr Derry months earlier.

The consortium, said to be in 'effective control' at the club, also told the forum that it had many ideas for encouraging supporters to return to Field Mill.

On Friday Mr Booth said there would be a proportionate reduction on the reduced admission prices for the Wrexham match for concessions.

Adults with a voucher from the Grimsby game will be admitted for £5, OAPs and student with a voucher for £4 and juniors with a voucher for £3.

Non vouchers holders - fans who do not attend tomorrow's match with Grimsby - will be admitted for £10/£6/£4,

And Mr Booth said that season ticket holders would be able to use a voucher in their book to bring along another supporter to benefit from the voucher discounts for the Wrexham match.

It is hoped that the price reductions - together with the loan signings of experienced players Kevin Horlock and Neil Wainwright - and news of the impending Derry consortium takeover will lead to 'bumper attendances' at the next two home matches.

Mr Booth told Chad on Friday: "We need as many people as possible to come to the games, both to back the players and to help the finances for the new regime."

He had made it clear a few hours earlier at the forum that all income to the club would now be going to the Derry consortium, which is due to complete its takeover late next week.
