This season, we've watched a conveyor belt of young loan players come and go. We've signed players who are clearly not up to the job and continuously played others because they're the managers mates. We've seen players played out of position, we've allowed a manager to stay in the job far too long and then appointed somebody purely because they once played for the club and gained "legend" status all too easily in my opinion.

For several weeks my two young girls have begged me to take them to Plainmoor because they want to watch football with their Daddy. I have resisted because I haven't wanted to subject them to the misery I've endured. Today I gave in. They won't ask to go again I suspect.

I'm disillusioned by the way the club is operating on and off the pitch.

Managers do not play mates thats the biggest mistake supporters are making he has no choice they amongst the best players which never attracted to the club and will probobly be the best next season.
I wonder where Nicholson was yesterday was he injured. A manager loses mates I assure you.

I have just done a little research into season ticket prices for a few conference clubs and it seems that Torquay United's prices are similar.

Forest Green Rovers £280 (current season)
Cambridge United £310 (current season)
Luton Town £330 (next season)
Hereford Town £270 (current season)

I forgot to add that the above prices are "early bird"

The offer Kidderminster are offering for next season looks good:

Adults £260.00 (or four instalments of £65.00)

'Early Bird' season ticket offer expires Friday 9 May. I'm very tempted. I have a much better feeling about next season..

No change of mind from me, said after 8 years I wasn't going to renew and that stands. These last 2 years I've found myself getting angry, irritated, depressed and seriously not enjoyed watching football at Plainmoor, need a break from it. Will put my season ticket money in the savings and draw on it when I fancy coming along to a game.

I'm delighted at the promise of a new beginning at the club, and hope that doesn't turn out to be yet another empty promise, false dawn, for the club I will always support.

If we are winning games fans will cime and watch matches whatever league we are in, people just want to see there team win, I will be there next season as I have been for the last 49.

you'd best change your username then i guess??

could you repeat that please roadrunner!!!

Why does forever need to change his username?

He's already said he will still support them, but just not get a season ticket. Makes him no less a supporter than those that buy one.

I'll be at most of the away games as usual and will get to probably about 5 home games hopefully. I always try and coincide a holiday in the south west with a home game and I have no control over who we will be playing so that means it will probably be Gateshead with their 3 fans and a greyhound!

I can absolutely and completely understand those of you choosing not to go anymore or choosing to go when you feel like it too. It's a softy thing to say but perhaps if the club had been more 'accessible' and 'supporter friendly' and made us feel appreciated just a tiny bit then I think it would be surprising how many fans would be prepared to give it another big commitment. As it is I don't think anyone at the club can have any arguments about fans staying away. If the football is not good and the team are struggling then perhaps it would be courteous as well as good business sense to communicate with the fans on a regular basis and maybe offer some tangible rewards other than transparent media releases on the O/S.

Make everyone actually FEEL like they are valued and they will keep coming even if the product is not what it should be.
