City will once again be running its popular club membership scheme in the 2011/12 season - giving fans a new, improved £5 discount off general sale matchday prices and priority on buying tickets.

Memberships are on sale now online, by phoning the ticket office on 0871 222 66 66 (option 1) or in person at Ashton Gate.

Members will receive first priority on the best available seats for home nPower Championship fixtures - as well as being first in the queue after season card holders for away, cup and friendly tickets.

In addition, they will receive £5 off the 'general sale' price to all league matches and use their own personalised smart card in place of matchday tickets for entry to Ashton Gate.

The smart card is used to enter the stadium and, when used to book tickets, can also track the attendance of fans home and away - ensuring the club can properly reward its most loyal fans for 'in-demand' matches.

NB If you are renewing your membership you can retain your exsiting smart card - your 2011/12 membership will be loaded on to the card and activated for the new campaign.
