Season Ticket / Have you renewed ?

[DesBremner]

Yep renewed and this year got the two kids a season ticket
had to move to family stand though due to cost

They are so excited they keep checking the post to see if they have arrived.

Just wish i felt the same ...:-(

I spent my season ticket money on one of these:



much better investment that watching martins tactical ineptness at work.

I've renewed, but without much enthusiasm. You certainly can't complain about the cost if, like me, you're an OAP, but perhaps I won't be making the journey from Sussex as regularly as in the past if our play is as dull and unimaginative as last season. That said, I've always travelled to Villa Park hopefully and I suspect that, come August 14th, the excitement and anticipation will overcome the doubts.

I renewed mine back in May.  I'm really not that bothered about the start of the season i'm losing more and more interest as each season passes it's just not the game I used to love anymore.

My feelings exactly, Karlos. Likewise I renewed in May - more out of habit than anything else.  I've posted elsewhere about how I'm getting disillusioned with the game especially at PL level. For the first time in nearly 30 years instead of getting excited about the start of the season, I just feel......meh

I'm glad it's not just me.

Feeling exactly the same.

We've renewed but have absolutely no enthusiasm about it whatsoever.

Really Pauline ....?


Jeez, I do wish Gen K and Co., knew what the true fans were thinking and stopped hyping up everything.

^^^^^

Yes really.

I'm not going to Walsall tonight.  We are going to Portugal though, more for the craic than the football, although I'm hoping the football will rekindle the love of football.  Somehow I don't think it will.

If you look at those comments Tim, the first one made specific reference to the PL and the second one agreed with that so I would assume the root of the problem to be more the league itself than the club. If either of the posters feel otherwise, please say so.

I think more and more people are fed up with the hype, the ridiculous sums, the arrogance of the players, their continued and increased distance between them and the fans etc etc etc

I think RL and his team are doing everything they can in spite of the increased dissatisfaction with what the league has become and the ME ME ME I want it NOW NOW NOW of modern-day society. But that's just my take on it.

For me it's all those things plus my dislike of the current style of football we play and Mon's dithering in the transfer market.

On here we are older/more cynical. Maybe the young people will still be as excited as we once were.

The thing is, all the other horrible things about Premier League football (and there are plenty), Villa alone can do pretty much nothing about.

We can't absolve ourselves of responsibility, because we've got our snouts in the PL trough as much as the next club has.

We are a part of the problem(s), but if anything is going to change, it has to happen collectively.

Having said that, personally I'd find it a lot easier to put up with the slightly dirty feeling of spending so much money on a "concept" which is, in many ways, sordid, if I felt that the quality of football was there.

I've renewed, but I'm not looking forward to it much. Another season of home grimness and I won't bother again.

Not just because of the grim football, but that would be the straw that broke the camel's back.
