Who hasn’t renewed?

[hackneyfox]

So how many have refused to renew due to the £25 and not wanting to go digital?

Very little I would think..

Considering how long it takes to get a season ticket, talk about cutting your nose to spite your face. I’d rather keep my card, but I don’t care enough to pay £25 and I’m certainly not giving up match day just to cause a protest that the club won’t notice/care about.

Chap next to me hasn’t renewed for this reason, despite being a ST holder for 40+ years. I understand the principle, but I was shocked he actually went through with it.

His was free because they found his birth certificate, he's over 65.

I think there are a growing number of supporters that have been going for years that are increasingly unhappy about a number of things. It's not relegation either because they've been through that before over the many years.

 

The deciding point eventially though is that compared with years ago, if you once give up your ticket you'll never get it back. History however shows that managers, owners and boards move on, the club remains, as do the generations of supporters.

Generations of supporters stay? 

Simly not true.

They come and go also relative to success.

 

I remember crouds of 7 and 8 thousand at Filbert Street in the 80's.

Don’t know why but I always feel a sense of relief when the first payment goes though,  just so i know nothings gone wrong with the clubs administration.

I renewed and reluctantly paid the embarrassing £25. Trying not to think about it tbh as it doesn’t sit right.

Renewed and paid the $25, it’s still cheap compared to American sport and the $25 is annoying but less annoying than using mobile tickets.

I fear the lines opening day with so many people not being prepared

25 dollars is a fiver saving at least 😅

[Paninistickers]

Quite happy paying the 25 quid premium to, basically, be able to lend out the ticket when I want. 

 

It's especially pleasing as that pisses off the club far more than not renewing.

You’ll be stuck in the same queue bud.

I haven't renewed. Not because of the £25 but because I've just fallen out of love with football a bit. 

 

I considered it last year, but gave it a go and despite our success last season, it just didn't feel the same. The championship should have been fun and in parts it was, don't know if it was the lack of excitement in the pitch (regardless of the results) or if it was just my lack of interest in the game now, but far too often it felt like a bit of a chore to go to games. 

 

I've seen enough in my time, near on 30 years as a season ticket holder, to remember it fondly and know I won't be missing out on much that I haven't seen already. I have a young daughter now too, who I'd rather spend my weekends with.

 

I just can't be doing with the premier league though. Now the affects of FFP are being felt it's more and more obvious that it is all geared towards the big clubs (not that it wasn't obvious already) the new PSR rules are going to make it harder and harder for clubs to compete. By the end of 2028 (I think) clubs will only be allowed to spend 70% of their revenue on transfers and player fees (or something like that anyway!). How can someone like us, or Brighton, Brentford etc compete with the Manchester clubs or the bigger London clubs? 

 

How can Manchester United be allowed to still be carrying £700 million of debt, but because they're a global phenomenon, it doesn't matter? 

 

I just can't be doing with the premier league anymore, it's all glitz and glam but lacks feeling

Guy who sits next to me said exactly the same.  Couldn't stand watching dull Enzoball.  Wonder how he feels today.

Football wasn't popular in the 80s full stop. Crowds were down everywhere. Of course success brings fans, clubs like Brentford, Bournemouth, Brighton etc would have found thousands of new fans recently and lose them all again if they go down a league or two. There's only a handful of clubs who would remain with crowds whatever the situation.
