Everton fans have already broken records for next term's season ticket sales with over 20,000 fans renewing their membership.

"20,000 is a fantastic number to reach so early in the Season Ticket campaign and is testament to the continued loyal support Evertonians show their Club," Blues chief Keith Wyness told evertonfc.com.

"Goodison Park, as in the case of any football stadium, is always at its best when it is packed out and our aim is to ensure we continually have full houses each time we open up the turnstiles.

"David (Moyes) and the team have ensured there is a real sense of optimism right now at the Club and this is clearly demonstrated by the huge numbers already renewing their season ticket with still three games left to play in the current campaign.

"We'd like to thank all our supporters who have already renewed for next season and urge anyone yet to make their purchase to hurry before the May 11 deadline in order to guarantee the best possible seat in the house.

"There are well over a 1000 people already registered on our wait list who want to watch Everton regularly next season so the early indications are that it may not be as easy to get a 'good' seat as in recent years."
