Season Ticket Renewals - what do you intend to do?

[CanveyCastle]

I am old. I may not have many years left.

I will renew but the man next to me was saying the entertainment value is so low he probably won't.

 

[Thundersley Blue]

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

I live in a village midway between Stowmarket and Diss. Moved there getting on for 7 years ago.

 

[OldBlueLady]

Of course.

 

[Paulie Walnuts]

Re new.

 

[IloveShrimp]

I fully expect to renew.I have supported my club for over 60 years vast majority as a ST so dont intend to change.
Most of us follow the team thro thick and thin others dont just the good times that's there wish.Last weeks result was a disaster unfortunately that happens in football it took me a while to get over this result but come this Saturday it will be forgotten.

And it's the casual fans that's important for the club to grow. They need encouragement to come back. Most performances this season do not do that.

 

[Finney on the wing]

Of course I'll renew along with 2 of my pals who do not look at SZ. I may not be happy with results at times but you have to accept the ups and downs as a supporter. Hope the club get to see that 85% at least will be renewing, that should help boost confidence - which is what they badly need - and we can help with that

I don't have a ST but just wanted to say how much I admire those travelling from Norfolk /N Suffolk regularly. It is where I live and have given up going to night games because of arriving home about 15 after midnight having driven unlit country roads after dropping off my brother nr Woodbridge. Now, even afternoon games have become a stretch at age 77.
So well done to all who travel long distances to use their ST and indeed those who do so who don't have a ST. How relieved to have a team to follow when in the recent past that appeared highly unlikely. A tad off thread so apologies for that.

I take it he's younger thank you mate.

 

[fbm]

I'll always renew.

If anyone is in it purely for the entertainment value they'd have given up going years ago.

 

[cornwall blues]

I if I can afford to I will again this year. Even though only get up from Cornwall once or twice a year. It’s a way of helping the club and owners a little, as otherwise just going to local away games puts no money into the club

But our average attendance is >7k and ~10% up on last season

Yes, but how many will renew?

 

[Liam AAS]

Yes, but how many will renew?

At this exact moment I would estimate about 83.7%.

 

[Tampa Blue]

At this exact moment I would estimate about 83.7%.

That’s 83.7% of hard core supporters, suggest it will be less across the whole support

Oldham are the perfect example. About 1500 down on last year's gates and despite having a better season.

We are about to have Maidenhead do the double on us!! This after losing to Sittingbourne ffs

1500 down at £15 a ticket (AVG probably actually lower) is 22k a game. 20 matches a season £440k. 3 amigos have circa 2 years left on contracts. Might be Cheaper (at least in short term) to let the fans go.

 

[Tampa Blue]

Poll updated to allow changes

 

[Cricko]

At this exact moment I would estimate about 83.7%.

We have hard core loyal supporters. How many of those who renew attend games is vastly different as the number of season card holders actually at games this season has dropped dramatically.

I've been a STH for quite a while now, usually attend every single game I can. I've scaled back massively this season and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

You’re definitely not the only one I’m sure there will be plenty of empty seats Tuesday night
