Essexiled Canary 0 Posted May 24, 2005 If some people are not willing to renew because we have been relegated then good, because it allows others who wish to see their team play every week to have that opportunity!! How many have been sold so far?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
John Smith 0 Posted May 24, 2005 Work commitments, moving away from the area, football commitments themselves. I don''t think we should presume they''re all not re-newing because we''ve been relegated Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Meeky 0 Posted May 25, 2005 I''m on the waiting list! No''s 886-888 so it''s going to be tight. If only 114 out of that 1000 renew I shall be out of luck bah! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paul searle 0 Posted May 25, 2005 would be intresting to have a poll on here as to what reasons people are not renewing there season tickets to see if this is down to religation Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jedi Knight 0 Posted May 25, 2005 quote "PS. Does anyone know if this unfortunate event has ever happened before?."I am afraid it has on a number of occasions I believe. Our family knows someone who died at CR. The club sent a representative to his funeral, and he said that they have attended a number of other funerals in the past.

Ken Aries 0 Posted May 25, 2005 Wiz, are you saying you wont go to Carrow rd at all next season? I dont blame you if you do decide to stay away, given your problems with the old ticker. I think you should steer clear of Mr Waller''s match commentaries as well, if anything they can be more stressful than watching the action through your own eyes.

Ken Aries 0 Posted May 25, 2005 [quote]Interest waning perhaps ? Still there is 2000 on the waiting list ![/quote]The club are still almost certain to sell the full allocation of season tickets. Also, I think you will find that nearly every home match will be a total sell- out next season, so although some may have lost a little bit of interest since relegation, there are still plenty of loyal, enthusiastic followers of City.

susie b 0 Posted May 25, 2005 I know there will be a seat next to me going spare next season because the lovely old gentleman who has occupied it for years suffered two bad falls down the concrete steps after the two post-Christmas games, and he''s decided he''s too frail to come to games any more. I shall really miss his charm and his mints (!!!) and the hugs when we score, but it will be interesting to see who is in the seat next season. If it''s you, be prepared for a crazed blonde nutter who never stops shouting/singing and who is likely to grab you for wild celebrations from time-to-time!!!Hope you''re on the mend now Wiz. I have had a health scare myself recently so I can empathise a bit with what you''re going through. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trouble is, once you let them go, they are damn hard to get back!, as no doubt Gorleston Jim will attest. Susie: The mere thought of some raving blond women grabbing me for a cuddle every time City score next season, is nearly enough to put me back in hospital, if I ain''t careful. What''s your seat number?. Then I can take precautions, er, well you know what I mean, phew!. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
susie b 0 Posted May 25, 2005 No worries Wiz...I shall be keeping that info to myself for everyone''s sake but mostly yours, until the first day of the season when some poor unsuspecting person parks his bottom on seat no...row...in the City Stand. (Yes, I''m the one who makes the noise from that general direction, drawing hoots of derision and strange looks from many a punter, but care I do not!!!!)Gazza - enjoy your new found freedom without Meeky and the children to rein you in! I guess they''ll be near me next season then. Perhaps I''d better behave! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
