I'd be surprised if a fraction of current season ticket holders renewed.
I've been seriously considering getting a season ticket for the first time in a few years. The money I'd save on a matchday ticket would cover most of my travelling expenses and it might persuade the missus to come along once in a while.

Lambourn - Are these people 'occasionals' that bought on the back of last season, or die hards that have had enough?

Not renewing - but decision was taken months ago, little'um has been playing footie on a saturday morning this season and quite often he has been playing away when town have been at home, and havent been able to get back in time, so have missed more than a handfull of games, he has been offered at scholarship at Reading from next season, which means same amount of travel but he also has to attend Reading home matches as the have matchday jobs to do, dont fancy going on my own, but will pick and chose the bigger games

That's what is worrying. When people like yourself and Mex don't want to renew something has gone wrong.

A mixture of both, I would class myself in the die hards as I have had a ST for years but my kids just do not want to go anymore and with the wife working Saturdays it is just too much hassle organising babysitters . I have a few mates that bought a ST off of the back of last season as they were going to most games anyway and my parents who have gone for donkeys years who have had enough and will not be renewing. The saddest thing will be losing my seat that I have had for years and the people that sit around you that you get to know just through football. |

Drip feed them it a little each other week meant they only got their hands on a fraction of my money before they fucked off |

this will hopefully be a wake up call to fitton and his board that they have made a right fucking balls up of the football side of the club.he needs to realise that he isn't has clued up as he thought he was.any idiot with money could have done what he has.even stfc gazza would have made better decisions.we would have worn red at wembley at least.
get someone in,set them a budget, and leave them to run the football side of it.
Don't agree with the "any fucking idiot with money" bit - as I think Batch said, there was a lot done on the commercial/business side that takes some real nouse. But you're bang on that Fitton (or whoever, may be more of a collective board than we realise) has made a proper balls of the football side. And the bit in bold should be carved into the boardroom table |
