I am looking at it right now. The heading says 'Cancellation of Auto-renewal', and it tells you where to click.
There's three of us that share two tickets and after that today we've had enough.
It's just become devoid of any enjoyment seeing us play at home.

I’m going to see how I feel when I wake up in the morning.
I’m just not enjoying it. It’s not just the football - although I would actually like to see us win a few games at home. It’s the hassle of getting to and from the games, the inconsistent kick off times, running to the station or getting irritated by stewards in the Bridge car park. The other irritating little things the club does which just makes the match day experience that little bit less enjoyable every season.
I think it would help as well if there was a bit more passion on the pitch. The best game I’ve been to in the last years was the 3-2 covid game last year against Man City. There were only about 6k in the ground, but the players played with a desire I haven’t seen since and there was a real atmosphere.

“Despite the challenges of COVID-19, and our proactive response to keeping people safe with consistent pass checking, even when it wasn’t mandatory, we are absolutely delighted to finish second in the latest Premier League Fan Engagement Survey,” said chief executive and deputy chairman Paul Barber.

Does that still get you a place in the Champions League these days ?

I’ve been dithering about whether to renew or not, knew I would drop one seat as neither of my lads can come to games now, but decided I’ll stop both. I’d never have considered that pre pandemic but I know now I can always get a ticket if I want one, maybe even a half season ticket if I miss it that much but it’s the hassle of an hour to drive from Burgess Hill, needing to leave early to avoid the carnage in The Bridge car park, fairly thin fare on the entertainment front, other demands on my time. I may regret it but decision made.
I'm thinking about giving up my second ticket because it hardly ever gets used. My brothers were too antsy to sort out their membership (even though I paid for it) and my son is working and doing stuff a lot. Mrs T isn't massively keen on the 4 h drive and a day gone. Times a-change, innit.
I got in the car for the Chelsea game (I think it was) recently and though, **** it, I'll watch it on the box down my mate's house. So I did.
But I'll certainly keep my own ST even if I give up the second one. When I stood forlorn on the terrace at the Rainham end for the opening game, with all the other stands closed, and a thin sun setting over Chatham, in division 4, with absolutely no prospect of even playing in Brighton again, our little Brighton balls firmly in the grip of Paul Scally, and that Focus DIY **** counting his millions, I made a commitment, without realising it, to get as much fun out of this as I could. And I did.
I'm not going to flounce now just because we have lost three on the bounce in the EPL, and are stuck in mid table, with nothing to play for because the European places are slipping out of our grasp, and it is unlikely we will be in a thrilling relegation dog fight.
Some people need to pull their knickers back up and make me a cup of tea.

I think I might knock it on the head, nothing to do with the team or performances,
Eon kindly sent through my energy charges from April and cancelling both mine & the Wife's season ticket barely covers the uplift.
took a pretty big wages hit during Covid so it's Ta Ta from me.

Exactly the same as my situation. Energy prices along with new tax coming in.
I'm seriously worried about the energy hike in October also.

But Harry - we can’t just keep on harking back to the see how far we’ve come argument.
We’re in the here and now - not what happened 25 years ago. Am I enjoying going games this season? No. For the reasons I said above.
I’ll never stop supporting the Albion but if I’m not looking forward to going to games or watching them, I’m not going to spend my money on it.
When I think back to the noise after Buckley’s winning goal in that first game, it’s very different to the experience I had this afternoon.

I'm renewing purely for the away games.
Zero atmosphere these days at home sadly whilst at the away games the atmosphere is getting better by the game.

The Lockdowns halted my impetus in wanting to go to Amex games. I got lazy, watching wall to wall EPL 7 evenings a week on Amazon Prime etc, I loved it. My brain with ease ignored the empty stands.
Haven’t got it back.
Even on a sunny Saturday afternoon, visibly thousands of sporadic empty seats today in the NS and ESL, this is new thing.
I know pub landlords where trade even now is way down on Feb 2020. Habits broken, folk boozing at home instead now. Seems similar to me, an unexpected byproduct of Covid.
Agreed, I'll have a cup too, actually another beer. Today was a pleasant (weather) Saturday afternoon watching little old Brighton in the Premier League football after decades of lower league kick-a-ball. With 33 points in the bag and no chance of relegation (realistically). OK, today's performance wasn't great (actually less than great) but on the whole we've had a good season with still more to come and at least we can now go to the matches. The Amex may be sod to get to. Even the Goldstone - at least it was our Goldstone - was a bit of a faff with queues, crumbling terraces, stinking bogs, wind, rain and a big geezer that always came and stood in front at the last minute. What's not to like?
Looking forward to the rest of this season and next.
PS [MENTION=1200]Harry Wilson's tackle[/MENTION] - make sure you give up the right ticket, mine's 197. Don't want another pre-pubescent spotty yoof who's just expanded his swear-vocabulary betwixt.
Barber-out will be doing well to keep any of us after all these shitshows.

This……the fickle flouncing by a few, and the need to publicly announce their decision, weakly justifying it with another pop at Potter, the club, the PL, KO times, trains, pies, flasks, bottle tops or whatever is getting a bit tedious. No-one is forcing anyone to have a ST or go to any games, so if you can’t be arsed, just don’t bother

Football needs to take action in order to make the game more of a spectacle. One thing that today's game proved beyond any doubt is the need for an independent timekeeper in order to eradicate the timewasting that is blighting our game.
That same timekeeper could penalise goalkeepers for hanging onto the ball for more than the permitted time.
Villa deserved the 3 points but boy did they suck the life out of the game.
