Ive only been a season ticket holder from the days where they offered North stand lower tickets at £200.  I gave it up at the end of the 2009/2010 season due to other financial commitments but then stupidly renewed for this season and I regret it so much.  I feel i have wasted £360 on absolute rubbish.  I've decided that I will not be making that mistake again and will NOT be renewing next season.  Im taking up golf instead as well as spending more time with my little boy.  I will however, attend the odd game here and there but refuse to part with £370 this time round.

I must say that I don’t envy the poor staff at the ticket office. For every client they ring and says they’ll renew they must be faced with a number who break out into a diatribe about all the ills at the club. Poor sods must be sick of it by now.

I saw the bit from Faulkner...Er, I mean Gabby, appealing for people to renew.

I think they're very worried at the moment.

There's an easy way to sort that particular problem.

Roughly, how many season ticket holders are there this season?  The season when we got to Carling cup final didnt we have very close to 30K as they said every season ticket holder was guaranteed a ticket? It would interesting to see how many are season tickets this season and how many have renewed  for next season.

Getting gabby to plea to fans to renew is pretty sad and I actually feel sorry for Gabby for having to put out that statement.  He can hardly say no to his employer for asking him to say it.

Nor me. 5 seasons in a row obviously means nothing to them.

You must've been bad in a former life for them not to have rang you!

I wouldn't think they'd be panicking yet. It is only April.

Especially when its noticeable that, in my opinion, even Gabby has not been putting 100% into the games, and when that happens, I think it's pretty obvious something is wrong. One thing Gabby has always done is tried his best, even if he's not playing too well, but even he's starting to not bother...

Surely they must have some sort of inkling that there's going to be a significant decrease in ST's though and so make an effort with all.

With our top flight status not fully secured is it any wonder that people are waiting to see where we will be before investing?

Not the right time for a sales pitch, in fact, a waste of time.

I am sure they're expecting it, but I think about now they'll be dipping a finger in the water to get a sense of how cold it's going to be, rather than actual full on panicking.
