pacbuddies Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 I'm not renewing this year,I just can't afford to. Got another baby due, plus holiday in september. Add to that all the other bills etc. Il be going to a lot of the home games and the odd away game but I just can't afford to pay upfront. The thing is if the club showed some ambition and made some effort then I'd scrape enough to get one. But why should I have to pay that expense when the club are offering you nothing but misery near enough every home game. Add to that I'm fed up of the games being moved to sundays, any games that are on sundays I'm not bothering with. Feel bad that I aint renewing but stuff em, I'll decide when I'm going and when I aint. Good on you. Stuff em that's what I say. Just pick and choose. They are a joke now.

decavfc Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 I decided to renew my season ticket, purely through habit. Very rarely does the football send me home happy though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mart-L7 Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Went there yesterday to possibly relocate, the guy that took us round told us this time last year they was on around 20k sold this year it's sitting at 13k. How true this is I don't know but this is what we was told Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted June 29, 2014 Moderator Share Posted June 29, 2014 I wouldn't be at all surprised. I don't see any logical reason to buy one and a lot of people won't be prepared to give Lerner another penny. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvfcTheObsession Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 I've renewed, but as yet the guy I sit with hasn't, neither have 2 people at work who had an ST last season. I reckon we'll only be averaging about 32/33k gates next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted June 29, 2014 Moderator Share Posted June 29, 2014 I can see it being lower than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjw63 Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 I feel guilty for my son as he renewed but I just can't hand over £350+ to watch this shite again. Will still go to some games but no money up front while that mumbling Scots turd is in charge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markavfc40 Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 (edited) I renewed. Will be my 27th season on the bounce as a season ticket holder. Being honest I simply go now out of habit and not wanting to break my run of being a ST holder. It hasn't been enjoyable for a long time and is not something I look forward to. I have also renewed my daughters season ticket and this will be her 11th season on the spin. She is 15 and I am half expecting a visit from Esther Rantzen and to be done for child cruelty.

blandy Posted June 29, 2014 Moderator Share Posted June 29, 2014 I think gates will be about 10,000 down on last season, frankly. Every time they text or e mail me about renewing I just think of the crap that was served up last year, the time spend sat there thinking "this is laughably bad, I dunno why I bother" and the text gets deleted.

brommy Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 My circumstance is so similar to Mark's I have copied and made the appropriate change: I renewed. Will be my 27th season on the bounce as a season ticket holder. Being honest I simply go now out of habit and not wanting to break my run of being a ST holder. It hasn't been enjoyable for a long time and is not something I look forward to. I have also renewed my son's season ticket and this will be his 11th season on the spin. He is 16 and I am half expecting a visit from Esther Rantzen and to be done for child cruelty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Me and my family renewed basically right on the deadline. It was something we really thought long and hard about. And if i'm honest I currently regret my decision. What's our lowest premier league attendance? I have a feeling we may break it this season.

brommy Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 What's our lowest premier league attendance? I have a feeling we may break it this season. I believe our lowest Premier League home attendance is 17,940. Do you still feel we may break it this season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was there to see a home loss against Wimbledon, in front of less than 18,000, just 20 seasons ago. Even with a capacity of 45,000, we averaged 29,000 in those days.

daggy_333 Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 I decided i wasn't going to renew this season cause we've got a baby on the way and money is going to be tight but there was still a part of me that was secretly putting money to one side to get one. Anyway I've now found out I've got to have an op on my ankle which will mean i can't drive for 3/4 months which means it's definitely not happening this year :-/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IwishIwasalivein1982 Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Honestly, the FA Cup and Capital one cup seem like more appealing matches to go to than the premier league ones right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't that against Southampton around 1995? a mid-week game I remember going and was so much snow which they was shovelling off the pitch! we lost and Le Tissier scored a brace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
