Renew or not Renew?

[villasjf]

With this clueless owner and manager i think it will be no from me, I even had Nicola Keys ringing me this year after the renewal date asking me to renew I did but I have regretted it every home match.

Anyone who survived the mid-80s, a period where I had to be pissed to contemplate entering the ground, should have no problem. Then again, it is dis-proportionately priced now.

Indeed. Not renewing is a much bigger saving now. Plus although i've not been this season i've seen nearly every game live on free internet streams.

I don't know.... I really really want to, but they're making it so hard for me to say yes to.

I know what will happen, I'll decide I won't then come renewal, I'll think this season will be better and I'll stupidly renew.

My thoughts exactly!

Add me into this although I very much doubt I will renew my youngest son's. He has lost virtually all interest.

I had been taking my young cousin, Alex (who was about 11 years old) for about a season and a half when we decided to have season tickets. It would have been about 2004 I think, and I hadn't had one since the 80s. The first thing I did when I got out of the ticket office was show him how to hurl it away in disgust. We mucked around out side the ticket office for about 10 minutes, chucking them ever more violently across the car park shouting stuff like "I'm never watching that load of rubbish again" (I had to curb the swearing - he was just a child).

I don't take Alex any more, but for me, given the spirit in which I first got it, I don't see any reason to cancel now. I have a season ticket because I can afford it, not really because I expect anything back. There is the madness of the football fan.

If I didn't go every time we had a crap/average manager, played boring football, didn't win very often, had an owner who looked unambitious, I'd have only been to a fraction of the Villa games I've been to over the past 35+ years.

It may be a factory of sadness, but it's my factory of sadness.

Hear, hear!

It's never been a decsion to make.  I'll renew come what may.

[Mellin]

As admirable as that stance is, it's the reason supporters in this country are taken for mugs. They owners know no matter how much they take the piss, the main core will be there.

I haven't been this season. Refuse to spend any of my hard earned watching that.

Have voted no, have had about 10 missed calls from Villa Park in the last couple of weeks obviously to ask if I'm going to renew. My wife didn't want our tickets this year but I did anyway and wished I hadn't. This is nothing to do with McLeish but aimed at Lerner, as people have previously said, if he won't invest, why should I.

Are you serious? You really think Randy hasn't invested?

Poor lad, disappointment is character building...of sorts.

[Chris Jameson]

I haven't had a season ticket for years and only attend matches when my son fancies taking in a game. At Wigan he said 'Dad, I really don't want to go to any more Villa games...'. Came as quite a relief to be honest.

[Big Dick Edwards]

Perhaps Fasth56 means that after years of financial support he will stop investing in a season ticket in the same way Randy has stopped investing in the squad..

[Sister of Top Cat]

Undecided.  Definitely won't renew if the prices go up at all.  If they do, TC and I will no doubt have a discussion nearer the time.  If we do renew, it certainly won't be until the last possible date.
