Will you RENEW your season ticket ?

[Tilehurst Seagull]

Its a yes from me. Having to contend with a 200 mile round trip after Saturday morning U14 football can be a bit of a ball ache. Especially when you know that there will inevitably be some kind of hold up on the M4/M25/M23/A23/A27... but at least its not Gillingham...
I am not impervious to the creeping corporate nature within the club and recognise that it cannot take its supporters for granted and thereby alienate them from it. Being a long term exile but frequent visitor to the county I always marvel at the number of kids and adults in Albion shirts that you now see both on match day and at other times. I am sure that for all the right reasons the club are focused on gaining 'new customers' rather than 'old fans' but they must not do this to the detriment of its longstanding support.

I wish the powers to be could see the passion some supporters put in to following their team. At the whim of the goggle box those supporters are not really considered when the time and date of matches are changed in an instant to suit the armchair fan. Season ticket holders really are buying a product they are not sure they can enjoy to the full.

I travel down from Devon and now the Bmuff game is changed to a Friday that's an advance train ticket wasted as there is no refund option on this and another game I've paid for but can't get to due to work etc.
With 8 midweek games a season now it's not worth renewing and will cherry pick next season

 

[Rookie]

Dependent on price (an increase will be poor a large increase will be a piss take) i will renew

 

[Brian Fantana]

No.

The only reason is that I'm about to re-locate to the North East, which will dramatically reduce the number of games that I'll be able to attend.

 

[ridda]

I'm undecided simply because I work shifts and this season has cost me a lot of leave and poor sleeps.
League position will make little difference to my choice, I'm just considering whether it will work out cheaper to buy a ST & miss half a dozen matches or buy on a match by match basis.

Same here but have decided not to renew, moving the Bournemouth game was the last straw.

How is that the clubs fault ?

 

[Mellotron]

Yes for two reasons:

1. My support of the Albion has nothing to do with what division we are in.

2. The monthly interest free element.

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

Yes. And my two boys as well. As long as I can afford it. I blinking love the Albion.

 

[ridda]

How is that the clubs fault ?

Not saying it is, but it is yet another game I can't' go to that I've paid for
Will still go to games but on a game to game basis.

 

[Bozza]

I have voted 'yes' as I'm sure I will, but that is only because I love the seats I have (WSU front row) and I don't want to give them up.

If it wasn't for that, I would be tempted to relinquish the tickets. My daughter is only with me every other weekend so her ticket feels expensive as it goes unused a lot even before midweek games come into it, which are a non-starter for her and I find myself less and less likely to make midweeks myself due to the pain in getting home after.

 

[chaileyjem]

no, not by a long way, I SPOKE TOO PEOPLE TWO YEARS AGO WHO HAD ENOUGH , it's a steady decline UNDER CURRENT CIRCUMSTANCES, 10k hard core i would say

Ok. then. Are you predicting 10K season ticket holders next season PPF ? You seem pretty convinced. Thats 11.5K drop from now.

 

[Icy Gull]

I'm kind of with him on this, I do expect at least an 8k drop. There have been times when there have been no more than 16k in the ground this season.

 

[Djmiles]

Probably not. I will still get to games, but I will probably be working weekends by August so will pick and choose midweek games to go to.

 

[somerset]

Not renewing, I predict a drop of between 30 and 40%.

 

[scooter1]

No.
My son isn't interested(he's 6) and taking him for the last 2 seasons against his want has been a ball ache, and the evening games have been the kicker. I will still go to every home game I can next season, either via the black market or via the club, and I reckon it will cost me less doing it this way.

 

[solly]

Gives me quality dad time with youngest boy, we enjoy the club, we try to go to as many away games as we can ...... Not sure what else we could do together that gives us so much conversation / debate / laughter / stunned shock / outrage / socialising with other fans / different views and perspectives etc ... sure we moan when we lose, and smile when we win, but thats footy aint it ..... Yep we're renewing even if its League 1

 

[Alex Alex Dawson oo! oo!]

Exactly the same for me with our son, he's nearly 30. Neither of us get to more than 50% of home games either but not renewing is just never on the radar; we're supporters of BHA and are providing practical support to the club.

 

[Albumen]

Yes. Even if we've been shit for a number of games I still look forward to the next.

 

[AlastairWatts]

Undecided simply because I live a long way from the Amex and although a life long Albion supporter I want to be entertained, not bored silly with Albion losing to or drawing with pretty average sides. To me Albion are special, and I expect them to play that way. Probably will renew though: the monthly DD is an attractive way of paying and of supporting the club although when I can't or don't want to go I wish there was a way the club could re-sell the ticket for their benefit, not mine...

 

[Diablo]

Maybe..Perhaps ...Don`t know. Undecided x3. Whilst very close to Amex with free parking and love going..one son now at uni and other plays Hockey...So they go less than half games...Have been Loathe to give up our good seats just in case prem league....but more than 2k so may choke at prospect of paying that next season.
Although with friends etc so might.
