So, just out of curiousity, who will be renewing next year or will it depend on whether we stay up or not?

I obviously understand the credit crunch etc. will have an impact, however I was just wondering whether most will renew regardless of us staying up/going down or whether its dependent on survival.

I plan on renewing no matter what (providing I still have a job) as I couldn't think of how else I'd want to spend my Saturdays.

It depends on how my cheerleading takes off at work - I may need to work more Saturdays which makes it less fesable for me to get one next year

But providing the ST prices dont go up and I can make enough games I would prob renew along with dad and Mark - I hope we can pay in 2 bits again - that made it more affordable for me

I plan to renew as well, its going to hurt as it'll be my first non-student! But so much depends on whether I can get a job after uni.

Totally agree with that, two parts is far more affordable.  I think i'd struggle if we had to pay lump sum up front.

I always try to budget in for ST but every month theres always something to pay for it seems - car,dentist, courses etc

Depends on price, payment options (I.e split in two again) and whether I'm being moved onto the 2pm-10pm shift, cos of the tuesday night games I wouldn't be renewing if work did change my hours.

I'm not sure that relegation would take too many off the renewals figure, to tell the truth.  The pulling power of Division 3 isn't really that much greater than Division 4.  Either way, it's going to be well down on last year.  The recession will see to that.

If/when we ever get promoted out of this division, though, I would expect to see quite a significant rise in the number of tickets...so long as there wasn't a stupid rise in prices at the same time.

I'll be renewing regardless. If I don't have the money it'll go on the credit card.

I won't be renewing next year, as I'm not going to be free on Saturday arvo's in August, September and October.  But I will be getting a half season ticket when they become available in December (is it?).

Snap.

My missus isn't, but that's her own decision and not due to personal finances or relegation etc. I'll most likely be moving stands, if there's a reduction for Town End STs this year then I might move in there.

I'll renew as long as i don't have a stupid Saturday job! My dad said he wouldn't if we go down though

I'll probably renew if I can find the money from somewhere

When do you finish. I'm not sure how it differs at Uni

...but when I was at college your student union card runs for a year, so september to september, so when I finished college in June I could still use my student card in July to buy my season ticket for the following season despite the fact I wasnt actually going to be a student the following year.

As for me my renewals depends on what division we are in, the price and job etc...

I'll renew probably.  I dont like change

I was planning on renewing but i have to pay £250 for a school trip now so thats my season ticket savings down the pan!

I will renew. Even if we were in the screwfix 10th division I would be there. Double the price Ill still be there (Although I expect ticket prices to be the same as this year although the TE may be 20 quid cheaper or have an incentive ie free shirt

June. Well, 30th of May, according to the date plastered all over my student card :(

I'll be renewing i already have the money saved,I put some money away each week..

Giving up smoking has enabled me to do this ;D

I might wander outside in the sunshine to enjoy a delicious cigarette in a bit. Not giving up smoking has enabled me to do this.

If I have the money I will renew

Depends very much on where the hell i'll be living from june to january

If it's the same deal, I'll renew.  I've never been compelled to buy a season ticket before, so probably normally spend more on total match day tickets in a season that the season ticket cost this year.

I'll be renewing. So much easier for me than paying on the day and cheaper too.

Ooh good shout, I'll have to get a new NUS card as my one expired in September 08 and I never got round to renewing!

I'll be renewing - not sure what I'd do without the football

I'm undecided.

If we get relegated, I think a drop in prices is needed.

As long as they don't put the prices up much I'll be renewing. Would be real handy if they offered the option of paying by monthly direct debit though.

I will be renewing, my son on the other hand is moving to Australia so wont be.

so you are spending your money so your boy can go abroad and get pissed and finger girls for the first time. big error there.

im not renewing.

Never had one never will.

Will probably go to 1 or 2 games,the whole lapsed supporter thing seems to have taken over now and I dont really see me ever getting back into it properly,but you never know.

As long as the deal is pretty much the same then regardless of division I'll be renewing 5 STs.

I lapsed for about five years and never thought I'd regularly attend again.

Actually come to think of its not the 1st time I lapsed.

So, you're a serial lapser?

Taking up lapse dancing ?

I lapsed the Prem season and the next couple,I was more interested in Drugs and Girls.Actually given half a chance im still  more interested in Drugs and Girls  :D

I like to try and do all 3 at once!

If some one paid you, you could be a pro-lapser

Get stoned and play in a ladies team.

Sorted.

I'll be renewing. Hopefully Town End prices will be reduced and it'll be packed out. £200 for the Town End would be nice.

Yeah, then all the undesirables can fuck off back there.

I never moved out!

Me either and I'll be there next season.

Fucking poor excuse! ;)

I'll renew. I like my seat also i'm not bothered where we are playing next season. I'll watch us regardless. Think the only reason i wouldn't renew is if the price goes up.

I've done a different 2 out of the 3 on occasions, but never 3 out of the 3.

Good work.  :)

I'm saving for a trip to Canada at the end of the year so not likely.. I'll probably get a half one when they're available though.

If the prices stay about the same level then we probably will renew our 3.

If they go up significantly, then it' just wouldn't be good enough value to get Season Tickets

What IOB said. If nothing else I've made the mistake of getting my lad hooked so even if I didn't want to go, he'd make me

Nope, i'm moving further away from Swindon than i already am next week, and i'm not sure i can stomach the two and a half hour round trips for home games, let alone be able to afford it.

Will try and make the "big" home games and perhaps a few away trips though

Where are you going Village!!!!

Not sure if I'll renew yet, if I was staying in Swindon next year then I definately would but I'm off to Uni in Bath, so I could still get to games, but whether I'd bother with enough I'm not sure yet.

Thats only just over half an hour each and around £8 return (with young persons railcard) on train.

Ummm, nowhere massively exciting, a small town called Thame, t'other side of Poxford. It's got 11 pubs, all less than 5 minutes walk from my door, which is the main selling point :-)
