Not re-newing season ticket next year.........................

[Deadly Danson]

Each to their own but how anyone can say the football at the Amex isn't as good as what was served up at Gillingham is beyond me. Sometimes the football hasn't been scintillating this season but virtually every game has been tense with the result in the balance.
I have a degree of nostalgia for the Gillingham days - it was fun to be part of a pretty small and vocal group but the football was mostly bloody awful!

I am neither.

Not sure the club would gain a lot from this. The OP would say to the club "last year was boring and the club has no empathy with fans". The club would respond, a) what has last year got to do with anything and b) do you want a cuddle?

I certainly won't be cancelling in fact I can't wait. Get the new manager in and let's make a better start than last year. But it's good to know that if I ever felt 'needy' and cancelled there's the possibility of a cuddle on offer.

If the author of the post had a season ticket in the upper tier of the East Stand, and it's the one I've moved to, then thanks for not renewing. I wanted a season in the posh seats.

Not the home ends

So BHA gets no financial benefit from the another "supporter"? A truly excellent suggestion.

I would have thought a link to online survey be included in the standard cancellation email asking why you left, what could be improved, what could have given you second thoughts that sort of stuff.

Agreed. And then this thread would be about how the club had the cheek to email him like a no face customer, instead of calling him as a fan.

Why bother? It isn't like there won't be people wanting to get hold of a season ticket.

There is no waiting list anymore. You can just waltz right in and buy a season ticket these days, it ain't an exclusive little clique.

So what are Albion fans suppose to do when they can't get an away ticket when they can sit in the home end?

I don't think we benefit anyway from away games no matter what end you go in, except for the booking fee.

I'm surprised to hear that no-one else who hasn't renewed didn't get any similar email or other communication.

As you have, I am sure others have, maybe they are selective over who they respond to

The club should simply do this VIA E-mail purley on cost, it may not be a big cost sending out 1500 letters to customers, but the Operational area of the club may not have the budget to use on this.

A simple email would be pretty easy to do I have recently set up one as part of our customer retention stratergy for the company I work for.

Well l hope you did a spell check before setting up the e-mail.

It's still a valid, albeit muted, point.

The club will be concerned that people don't renew, certainly, but there will be someone to pay for that seat whether on a match day basis or as a new ST holder, so why put resources into contacting those who choose not to renew in some vain attempt to get them reconsider?

Well 20,000+ certainly can't be called 'little'.

Mostly?, the football was ALWAYS bloody awful at Gillingham!

The managers gone and whilst I agree on the excitement factor this year we will be back to more enjoyable footie next year, in an upwards direction having gone close despite all in the last 2 seasons. Think you may quickly regret your decision particularly as us STHs will certainly be taking in the London games.

 

[Monkey Man]

I cancelled Sky last year and they write and phone every five minutes demanding to know why and begging me to return.

Drives me mental to be honest.

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

have been a season ticket holder since we were playing home games at Gillingham. Last year was so boring, can count the games I actually got passionate about on one hand. Really excited about all the London and close by away games we will have possibly, so have decided along with my son and 6 others who also have not renewed to go to away games only. Could be Orient & QPR, along with Brentford, Fulham, Millwall, Charlton, Watford & Reading. Bring it on. Also can't believe no one has been in touch from the club to find out why we haven't renewed, this club has changed for the worse, the people running the club now have no empathy with the fans, which is a very sad state of affairs.

Well I think it is a shame. I did the same at Withdean a few seasons in. I managed a youth team Saturday morning - and was footballed out by the afternoon. And having stood outside all Saturday morning - the prospect of sitting in the open at Withdean became less enticing.

Also my lad was showing interest in other things - the upshot was I thought we would go to more away games. It didn't happen. We just went to far fewer games.

And I would hope the Club do get in contact to find out why you have not renewed.

I believe you are one hundred per cent right. This all started because Man Utd got fed up with having to share their massive home revenues with the likes of Wimbledon!!!!
