Season Ticket Renewals - what do you intend to do?

[corringham_shrimper]

I have supported the club since I was a kid, but have only been in the position to have a season ticket for the past three seasons. Like others, for me it is about more than just the quality of football, which as we know has been questionable at times.

My boys are heading into their late teens and going to the Hall on a Saturday afternoon is sadly one of the very few things that we still do together. For me, renewing is a no-brainer as I see it as an opportunity to continue to spend proper time with them both, rather than the results on the pitch.

We should have a normal pre season for once . Hopefully get our 1st / 2nd choice targets in this time around instead of 4th / 5th choice

 

[Sammy Shrimper]

I’ll be renewing my season card. It’s a lot cheaper than taking up golf !
Please can we only play on Tuesdays.

 

[Smiffy]

On the fence. I’d like to see some decent signings, good marketing and general good noise from the club through spring and summer to get me excited again. At the moment I’m just bored and don’t have the enthusiasm to attend regularly, even though I have a season card.

Apparently I’m not alone either, as there has been a significant number of season card holders regularly missing matches. As I’ve mentioned loads of times, we are in real danger of doing an Oldham attendances wise next season.

I really want to see COSU make a song and dance this summer. Make the people of the city want to support its club again. I also would love to see cheaper tickets available in the North Bank to encourage fans to fill it.

I love my club, as we all do. I’ve given them my season card money, but I need to feel that excitement and undying desire to attend again. At the moment it’s a real battle and almost a chore and I don’t want to feel this way. I guess this is how some of the players feel as well. We’re suffering from rat fatigue?

Death will be the only reason I don't renew.
Or possibly the return of wignall.

Am in two minds here. Not for football reasons, if I lived in Essex, I'd renew as soon as cards were available.
Working twelve hour nights is my problem. With my four on/ four off shift patterns, I only get 2 weeks out of every seven where I get Friday and Saturday off. A nice boss who helps me with some flexibility in my rota helps but it still takes a chunk out of my annual leave.
On the other hand, I've always maintained (ever since COSU took over) that next season will be our year (this one being merely about consolidation), so I probably will.

MAYBE

 

[Thundersley Blue]

For as a long as I can manage a 140 mile round trip for each game, it is a no brainer. I also,with one notable exception, enjoy the company of the people I sit with.

 

[smudgster]

100% yes, despite all the setbacks I love it. Probably in the minority but I quite like being classed as a big fish in a little pond. I am convinced next season we will have a serious push for promotion.

 

[Westcliff Shrimper]

Will be renewing (as will WS Junior) but I do hope at the very least the early-bird price will be the same as this year.

 

[Supershrimper]

Will be renewing (as will WS Junior) but I do hope at the very least the early-bird price will be the same as this year.

Might have to increase a little to account for the surprise changes to Employer NI contributions.

Partick Thistle stated their NI would increase by £5k a month and they run with a very slim squad

The Partick Thistle Football Club Board, and I as Chairman, are very conscious that our supporters are raising concerns over the First Team playing squad and a number of

I know but. From Thundersley. What route do you take.

 

[Harry Bullocks]

It’s a Yes from me

I also travel to games sometimes from Great Yarmouth. It is quite a trek and much better when we are playing well.

 

[40yearsafan]

Yes, no question. Can't remember how many years I've had a season ticket and will be buying for two grandsons as well.

 

[Ricey]

No matter how ****, how boring, who is the manager, who is the owner, if my situation allows me to continue with my season ticket which it currently does I will always renew.

 

[Shrimpergonzo]

Not so long ago I thought I may no longer have a club to support. I then went through a period of considering what I would do with my Saturday afternoon’s if it didn’t and why they were so special to me. I care passionately about whether we win or lose and how entertaining the football is that we play, but actually more than this I enjoy the build up to the game, spending time with friends and family whilst there and then dissecting it in detail afterwards.

It’s what Saturdays are all about for me so I’ll definitely be renewing for me and my nephew.

 

[tia]

I will definitely be renewing my season ticket.Still love visiting Roots Hall and I'm hopeful we can have a real go at promotion next season

 

[Up the Shrimpers]

85% renewal rate would be excellent, plus we will get some new season ticket holders as well.
That would still give us over 3,750 season ticket holders.

It does all depend of course on how we finish the season and by how much the prices will go up.
