I'll admit to not having to worry about the cost and renewal of my season ticket but realise that isn't an option for many. However many comments have rung a bell with me and my renewal will be partly out of blind loyalty, partly out of the this could be the year it all clicks and partly becasue I just enjoy being with my mates at most of the homes and some aways.
Renewing for the social side of it is the correct answer.
Not read all through the thread, so apologies if this has already been mentioned. Went into the shop in town at lunchtime on Tuesday and was told by the very helpful lad there that as well as the four monthly instalment plan without interest, there will also be a 10 monthly instalment plan but with a little interest. I'm trusting that this is true.Hopefully that will help out a few people and enable them to renew if they were thinking they couldn't. For myself, I will be relocating from A3 in the Trinity to A2. Have found that if I move 8 rows back from where I currently am, then for this season I would have paid £55 less for essentially the same view. No brainer really !!!!. Also I have the added bonus of moving from all the negativity around me to a brand new area with probably just as much negativity. Ahhh the joys of sitting in the Trinity Upper.

There was a time when I couldn't imagine not going to see Villa. But almost without realising it things change. You might move away from the Midlands, have kids, and get a bit older and other things become just that little more important. And that's before you factor in the cost and Habib Beye et al taking the mick.
