KOP-happy Notts County fans have had their wishes granted because they've been given the green light to turn that area of Meadow Lane into their own fortress next season.
County Chairman John Armstrong-Holmes confirmed today in announcing season-ticket prices for 2008-09 that The Kop will officially become home territory.
And the season-ticket deal for The Kop offers adults the chance to watch all League games for the equivalent of just £10.87 per match.
Said the Chairman: "Call it coincidence if you like but there's no doubt in my mind that the crucial wins we recorded against Accrington and Wycombe were significantly influenced by the support from The Kop.
"There are still a few issues to address with us taking over that area on a permanent basis but I'm sure there will be no objections from the Police and Nottingham City Council, our ground safety authority.
"The key thing is for us to make the necessary arrangements for 'housing' visiting fans in the Jimmy Sirrel Stand and we are complying with everything that has been asked of us."
General season-ticket prices are increasing slightly for the first time in five years but under-12s will have free admission in all areas of the ground and under-16s also go free in the new Haydn Green Family Stand.
The Family Stand is being renamed as a lasting legacy to the man to came to County's rescue when they were in administration, pumping in £3million to keep the club in business.
Added the chairman: "Haydn Green's part in the history of Notts County needs to be recognised and we believe that renaming the stand will do that.
"It's especially fitting that it should be the Family Stand, where we can offer free admission to under-16s. It was always high on Haydn's agenda to encourage young people to enjoy football, and this is our way of supporting his beliefs for the future of Notts County."
Season-tickets go on sale at Meadow Lane on Tuesday May 6 and Early Purchase Discounts will apply until Saturday May 31.
