nutty nigel 7,537 Posted December 5, 2017 Still thinking about it. If I don''t renew do I also have to find something I want to do more? That could be the tricky bit..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Duncan Edwards 2,237 Posted December 5, 2017 It’s quite worrying that something as ridiculously temporary as “form” could sway people’s decision. But, like I’ve always said, it’s not about football, style, pride, belonging or even tribalism for many fans. It’s about winning. It wasn’t always like this. Back when we were “good” we used to win a lot but only got crowds of 14-16k. And it was cheap. We used to sell our best players continuously and remain competitive. Weird. Still, as anyone will tell you, Football has changed. So have the fans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Great Drinkell 50 Posted December 5, 2017 I sort of kept hold of my tickets this season, and when I haven''t been I can''t say I''ve missed it to much, I still stay near a radio or phone so can follow the club. but the hassle of getting in and out of the City not to mention the parking on a Saturday has made a trip to the match a bind rather than a joy.Next season my tickets will not be renewed price freeze or not Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mello Yello 2,295 Posted December 5, 2017 I''ll renew, as I have done regardless for many a year and even through those thick ''n thin times.......Although a few on here would probably love others to think that my continuing loyal renewal, is actually just a ploy to deny the opportunity of a ''real local true fan'' on that huge ST waiting list, the glorious chance of a rare valuable seat inside Carrow Road.....Oh yeah.......

Lessingham Canary 99 Posted December 5, 2017 I cant imagine my weekends without football, so will only ever give up my s/t when outside factors might dictate otherwise. Maybe the board rely on people like me ? maybe thats where the term happy clappers has come from through people with that viewpoint. I know that this season is going to bring more dissapointment before we experience the highs of previous times, will always attend matches (might skip a few more aways than previous) but give up my seats ? never.

Duncan Edwards 2,237 Posted December 5, 2017 Glad to hear it CANARYKING. It’d be a shame to decide to stop, especially when you’ve been through so many lean times previously. Suffering during the testing times make the good days so much better, let’s hope they return soon enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

......and Smith must score. 1,343 Posted December 5, 2017 Not sure if the 90 mins of play is really that important. Some people just go for an afternoon/evening escape from domestic '' bliss ''. Some go to meet up with mates, relatives, have a few beers and a laugh.If you remember DLTFSYD ( Don''t Let The Football Spoil Your Day ) you won''t go far wrong.

hogesar 9,676 Posted December 5, 2017 I just think if one naff half season in the championship is enough to make you not renew then you''re probably not a fan worth holding onto anyway. We''ve had so many worse seasons and if you''re only in it for the good times then don''t complain (as many have done in the past) when you can''t get a ticket for the best matches.

Capt. Pants 4,236 Posted December 5, 2017 Despite being the 3rd season in a row we''ve been shocking, I''ll renew providing the price doesn''t take the mick. I despise plastics. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,537 Posted December 5, 2017 Last season was well shocking. So shocking that we scored 55 goals and conceded 22. In fact one shocking game we scored six before half-time. I still renewed though.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hogesar 9,676 Posted December 5, 2017 Last season we didnt meet expectations but it wasnt an awful season. Before that we were in the prem.It is basically half a season. In fact its two rough patches in half a season. Last season we scored plenty of goals and won a decent amount of games. Not enough but no other fans saw their team score more goals at home so can''t complain toooooo much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
