Tipping points

Great piece of writing.
I’m another 1 that’s been priced out of the CL matches, albeit that am and have been a season ticket holder for years. Doubt I’ll be able to continue come next season though.
If I do have to give it up, I will not return as I honestly think Heck doesn’t want us. He’ll be gone soon enough but, not soon enough for me as I feel completely disconnected with the Club just now. Really hope we don’t end up sliding down the table, this season, as then the chickens will come home to roost.

Yep, well written Paul S. Agree with both of you, Heck is in danger of causing some very serious, long term harm here.

I very much doubt that supporters of any club in this country are being treated like we are.
Paying more and being treated like idiots who don’t mind queuing and missing some of the game, who don’t mind paddling in p**s, who don’t mind being moved from their seats, who don’t mind cutting themselves on those seats and who don’t mind having some of the benefits of being a season ticket holder eroded.
Those people who have been there for decades no matter what are being thanked by getting the chance to buy a league cup ticket for the poultry £25 instead of nothing as a thank you.
Well I do mind and so much that come the date to renew in the spring/summer of 2025 I will for the first time in decades be saying “no thanks.” This should be the most exciting time since 82, and for some, the most exciting times ever since going to Villa Park. I’m going out of loyalty, to support the superb coach and players we have but I wish the person who takes my ticket all the best and hope you have the deepest of pockets.

This where I'm at, I've not missed a home European tie since 1977/78 and been a season ticket holder for most of this time but won't be there tonight (or likely to be for the other ties) due to the obscene pricing so someone with deep pockets will be in my seat.  For 2 or 3 years I've been thinking is this the last season ticket due to the huge outlay, but this is my 'tipping point'.  And this comes at a time when we've had the best team we've had for more than 40 years but the shine of qualifying for the Champs league for me just isn't naturally there now, and whatever the outcome tonight; this is sure to hurt.

Sad times mate. I’m in the CL ticket scheme and will go to them all but someone’s taken a bit of the gloss off it for me. Come kick off tonight I’ll be fully behind the players and Emery as always and I’m sure it’ll be a fantastic night.
Unless there’s a huge turnaround and we get back what we had and the prices mirror the way we are getting treated then it’ll be my last season. Who’d have thought all those years back in Rotterdam we’d be speaking more about balance sheets that team news?
It’ll be great to see most of those hero’s from 82 tonight and I’m sure they’d agree with a lot of what’s been said on here.
