The supporters coaches will be backed by new sponsors CCM Print Management - and the SSA has thanked the company for its support.

The SSA travel hotline on 07967 689597 will be opening for bookings on Saturday 26th July for the first match of the season at Ebbsfleet on Saturday 9th August and amber fare to Ebbsfleet will be just £15.

The service is for SSA 08-09 members only and Stags fans can join the SSA in the X Bar underneath the West Stand before the Derby friendly on Saturday.

SSA membership is open to all Stags fans and the SSA would like to encourage as many fans as possible to join as Amber members.

SSA membership prices have been frozen at just £4 per month for amber members and £10 for the season to enrol as a blue member, with junior and family membership also available.

Fans can also join online at www.stagsnet.net or by collecting and filling in an SSA application form from the ticket office at the club and leaving membership details and payment for the SSA to collect.

SSA will collect forms and payments from the club on a regular basis so there is no need to post it back to the SSA.

The SAA said in a statement: "Amber members of the SSA will not pay any more than £18 travel fare anywhere in the country, despite the long hauls this season, and blue members will pay no more than £20 maximum fare.

"The SSA are delighted that the new owners of the club are openly engaging with all fans and the reduced friendly prices announced recently for season ticket holders and juniors is no doubt a long overdue breath of fresh air!"
