Renewed mine, know I'll be there everyweek anyway so may as well make it cheaper.

Welcome back, you bloody flouncer. You've had more comebacks than Rocky!!

Rocky. You have to be having a laugh. Andy has had more comebacks than Status Quo!

So long as I don't have more comebacks than Gary Barlow i'll be fine.

That 'documentary' he did when he 'met' Corden made me thank God I'm not famous and without brain.

I keep coming back because I like it and I know others don't. =D

It's a war of attrition GG.

A war of atrition eh. Is that where we throw faggots chips and peas at each other/ The stewards/ The players/ the Ref/ and You lol. delete as appropriate.

I will throw in the odd sticky bun too for good measure.

Last day for deadline tomorrow still a no from me, for the first time in 10 years :no: :no: :no:

Despite me maintaining I wouldn't renew my season ticket after eight seasons, had the club done some meaningful business , you know what temptation probably would have got the better of me, but alas we haven't so for me it remains a no.

Left it late but renewed mine today.

I renewed mine and my little nippers today.

Saturdays' just wouldn't be the same without seeing live footie at Plainmoor.

This is why Torquay can't have nice things. We simply haven't got the support. Unlike other clubs...

I seem to recall our average attendance actually dropped the year we made it back into the League.

Matt.

With ten minutes to spare, I renewed mine. Most certainly against my better judgement and I feel sure I will regret it when I realise I have paid out to watch Benyon and Hawley looking like South Devon League strikers, and watch a season of struggle that awaits us.

I did so though, because I felt it is not Hargreaves fault. He wants rid of Alan Knill's dross as much as we do. He is lumbered with EIGHT players he and nobody else wants and we probably have to face it that we have a difficult year ahead while we watch players who know they are unwanted, go through the motions for us.

I had seriously considered getting an Exeter Chiefs ticket - and who knows, if their fixtures fall kindly, I still might, and a part of me cannot believe I am passing up on the start of another new exciting era for them to watch us lose at home to the likes of Braintree, in front of 1300, with misfiring donkeys up front for us.

So, today I renewed my season ticket but I cannot pretend I am happy about it because I know what I am letting myself in for.

Maybe it did but that was possibly because we were fighting relegation the first season back.

We certainly have support comparable with Rochdale, Bury, Cheltenham, Burton etc and superior to Accrington, Morecambe, Dagenham et al.

For the appalling two years we have had, I would argue that our support has been pretty decent.

We also have a knack of alienating the fans we do have by being inactive rather than proactive which serves to perpetuate the cycle. Obviously I am aware you disagree but this is just my opinion on things and partly why some fans who were wavering about getting a season ticket have now decided not to. It's more money lost and needlessly so.

When I say 'inactive' I don't mean necessarily in a transfers sense. We have no cash, we have to wait until the right players become available at the right deal and we are possibly stuck with some deadwood. We know that so perhaps some other forms of pacification would have been in order? A prominent and persistent line of positive communication this past month would have been easy to do and would have secured a lot more cash from the undecided. I keep hearing that the board are fans themselves and they too have money at stake in the club. They are fans obviously, i don't doubt that. Are they businessmen?

Communicating positively costs nowt and a few people may see it as more spiel but if it was persistent and convincing enough then i reckon a lot would have given them the benefit of the doubt and renewed. I have no idea why we've had nothing of any note since we were relegated. It's a lack of effort and presuming that you all will 'be real fans' that is largely grating really.
