Supporters of Oldham Athletic will receive a full refund on their season ticket purchases if England triumph at the FIFA World Cup this summer.

The League One club confirmed that all fans buying season tickets for the 2010-11 campaign before May 29th will qualify for the offer.

If Fabio Capello guides England to glory in South Africa later this year, every Latics supporter will be rewarded with a 100 per cent refund.

"This is a great way for our fans to back England to win the World Cup for the first time in 44 years," said Guy Walker, sales and marketing manager at Oldham Athletic.

He told the Manchester Evening News that there are no "hidden catches" with the deal.

"If they win it on penalties or in extra time, by whatever means, we will pay up," Mr Walker explained.

Season tickets for 2010-11 will go on sale at Boundary Park next month.

Oldham Athletic are currently fourth from bottom in the League One table after losing 2-0 at Leeds United on Tuesday (February 23rd).
