Season Ticket Renewal Deadline Shut

[Foxes1]

Both myself and better half have renewed, we thought about not renewing as our seats are in G1 and the safe standing area, which unfortunately we don't want to be in (yes we are of the older generation, but not part of the flask brigade / happy clappers). We will be  moving to another section and depending where we can move to if we don't fancy it we have the option to cancel.

[Spudulike]

I've been taking my lad since he was 7. In his 30's now and he wanted to renew. So we did. He actually wanted to go on Monday but I put him off.

 

If it was just me then I wouldn't have. For all the usual reasons but mainly because of the rearranged mid-week matches for broadcasters. I'm in my 60's now and have had enough of the travelling. Expecting to miss many games next season but will break even if we go to half, probably.

 

I have a feeling it will be my last.

[Skidmark]

Yes and Yes.

 

Protesting by not renewing didn't make sense. If you didn't renew the club would profit and make more money off a new customer. But I can understand the frustration many have. 
 

For me my season ticket has been a life saver. I'm not being dramatic but I've struggled big time with depression for the past few years. Getting out for the afternoon or evening, being away from home for a few hours, watching the game and not thinking and being able to chat with the lovely folk around me has helped me so much. 

 

My love for Leicester City runs much deeper than anger, hatred and frustration I have for those running the club and our current plight and playing squad. 

 

Forever a fox. 🦊

ST holder for 30 years.

Closest to not renewing, intact up until this morning I had enough and wasnt going to.

Missed Mondays game and didnt care about the result.

Hate it at the moment, hate the manager, players and board.

BUT it's the social part and meeting my close knit friendship group that we have built up over the years. Taking my kids whenever I can take them( mostly cup games) that made me renew.

If I went on my own and had no kids then this would have been time up

[hebangsthedrums]

Went from 3 to 2. I thought hard about it but as others have said the passive DD carryover meant me and my sister kept - if I had to actively do something might have been close call. The third is the one paid up front as my other sister took it on when he died. Was a bit of a dilemma letting it go after almost 20 years but was the best FU to KP I could muster

[worksopfox]

I'm giving it one more season, see how it goes.

Way things are going with the club, it may well be my last, after 49 years of attending games

[Getin]

Have had my season tickets in J2 since the stadium opened but this management has throttled the life out of our enjoyment and commitment to the club. I’ve not renewed, long since found better things to do on match days. May spend next season enjoying supporting our local club Harborough Town.

[Hinckleyfox]

Yep I renewed. For the same reason as many posted here. I go with my sister and have done since 2004, first time we bought our own season tickets having been with our dad as kids. We’ve shared some incredible ups and downs in that time, and while it is painful now, we know that the good times can come to Leicester. 
 

also became a lot easier once I knew we were going down and hopefully seeing the back of some of the current crop at least. Let’s just hope the club do the right thing this time and have a proper reset from the top down. I can’t say I’m confident, but I have to hope. 
 

no judgement against anyone who hasn’t renewed, I totally get it. But for me, I’m just not quite done yet.

My son and I have not renewed, my physical support comes to a sad end after 60+ years.

 

It's not just about the current state of the club it's about the current state of football, well the PL as well.

 

The ever growing imbalance and with the media's obsession with the 6.

 

Never being able to build a team as the club is forced to sell to survive.

 

The treatment of fans with things like forcing electronic ticketing on fans

 

The focus on here today gone tomorrow fans

 

The topsy turvy KOs especially the late evening ones as I can no longer get the bus to these.

 

I could go on but I find myself asking before each match should I bother going and it's a struggle to say yes as I'm not and have not been enjoying going for a while now.

 

I'll always be interested in how they are doing and will try and watch some games at home but that's it for me.

Same as me,seems a long time ago when I was looking for you in The Swan and Rushies trying to give you a quid for the brick!They are not interested in us "Legacy Fans" any more....but it will come crashing down.

Hey served us well last season. My player of the season. And I kinda like him that he clearly doesn't suffer fools gladly. 

 

But the decision to hand him three years and that arrogant 'i knows best' vibe he carries isn't right for a restart. He needs booting out. Not personal..Just business..

Suspected you would say something like that. Pretty much sums up my opinion of him. 

[Sunbury Fox]

My 88 year old mum has just called me in a panic because she's missed the deadline to renew by mistake (she's had a ST next to my sister for donkey's years). She pays for her ticket in full up front so it hasn't been automatically renewed. If she calls first thing tomorrow, will she still be able to keep her seat, do you think? 

[Getin]

This is a really sad thread. From Top to bottom the management of our beloved club has really really let us as  down as well as showing fans utter contempt.

A mate of mine did manage to keep his last year by ringing up asap the next day.

[grobyfox1990]

Yes and yes. I’ve essentially grown up at the walkers with every part of life progressively changing around it. I’ll eventually give it up on my own terms. I have an old phone which can be used solely to store nfc tickets on so that’s not a problem

I know what the answer to this should be, but I also know what the answer is likely to be unfortunately. 

 

Email [email protected] now and explain this. Don't rely on a call to the ticket office.

Wasn't sure whether to renew, and didn't in the end. I'll still be going as a member, but at least if things are as toxic as this year I can stay at home and do something more enjoyable like give the cat tray a good clean and get those crusty dry splats off once and for all.

[brookfox]

I intended to renew but forgot, such is the level of my general support these days!

 

Anyone know what the options are for people incapable of meeting a simple deadline?!

At the end of the day I still love Leicester City and my weekends wouldn't be the same without it.

 

The dickheads at the club won't be here forever but I will.

so you're more about your personal routine than how the club is run or the performance on the pitch?

 

Fair enough, your (King Powers) money

[Bellend Sebastian]

Binned it off in the end as planned, thought I might wobble as the deadline approached but felt pretty much f-all so probably the right thing. After 28 seasons only seems fair to let someone who's actually bothered to give it a go.

 

How the club is being run wasn't really on my radar. Your club being a basket case at least some of the time is part of being a football fan, but I swear that people used to be able to put on a braver face when things weren't going well. The masochistic part of me can find the entitlement and hysteria highly entertaining (perhaps I'm part Colin Robinson type energy vampire) but you can have too much of a good thing and Christ me it's been becoming hard work in recent seasons. I should probably have jacked it in last summer, I thought last season was just weird, the amount of moaning when we were top of the table, and the managerial appointment and player recruitment just seemed a recipe for toxicity unless things went really, unrealistically well from the get -go.

 

I've had some amazing experiences though across those 28 seasons, many of which probably can never be topped, which only makes it easier to let it go 

 

 

 

 

[BirminghamFox]

Damn, I’m working in Omaha and completely forgot!!!

 

 

 

Not really, was never renewing!

 

looking forward to getting my weekends and evenings back.

[LFEFox23]

Yes I’ve renewed.

 

its a sad state reading through this thread and seeing that so many people who have loved and followed this club (and football) for 20/30 years and have decided not to renew. 
 

This bothers me, but I question whether the people who run this club will be? Or will they just be bothered about losing the income?!

 

This is the beginning of the end…..

Another patronising post by someone who can’t accept that many of us want to continue to follow and actively support The City. You have exercised your choice to not support them any more but can’t seem to afford others the choice to carry on supporting them, without having some sort of pathetic dig. Will wait for your future critical posts with little interest.

In what way are you right?

[C.J]

Yes, did it right at the last minute. Going to relocate out of the safe standing as soon as that ballot opens. Not sure what to expect next season, hopefully some youngsters who want to wear the shirt and put some effort in. Don't know what I'd do with myself after 30 years of going! It's routine
