Lincoln City chairman Steph Wright says he is very encouraged by the sale of season tickets for the new season.

With less than a week to go until the end of the early bird discount period, the Imps have sold more than 1,000 season tickets.

Wright told BBC Radio Lincolnshire: "The season ticket sales are up on this time last year.

"This week is the busiest time. When we hit the end of the discounted period we sell 60-70% of tickets."

He added: "At the moment there is a very, very positive buzz about the place."
