No need. As Scott has pointed out, not withdrawing my support, just, after 8 years of being a season ticket holder, including the last relegation season out of the league, and both conference season(not that I really need to justify myself to you) not going to renew this time around, that decision wasn't conditional to staying up, wasn't going to renew either way.

Separate the last two seasons, I've turned up week in and out and felt; bored, angry, embarrassed, irritated, frustrated even depressed at times over the incessant, turgid football, and what makes it worse, I've shelled out £590 for the last two season tickets, do you know anybody that would part with that kind of money to self harm, I don't.

I've changed my mind from my previous post.

I won't bother getting a Bristol City ST, I can't sit and watch another team for a season. I stand by my decision not to renew my ST for the Gulls though. I need a break from the shit that's been served up for the past two years.

I'll pick and choose games I want to go to and will support from home.

Bought mine today

Do you know what number you are?

Top man Jerry, respect to you, his season ticket number, yes, I can help here, it's no 2...

Purchased mine Thursday.

Sales are much slower than last year as you would expect.

My take on it is that If we want to return to the FL (and surely all true supporters want this) then there is no better way to help the Club do so than to renew/purchase a season ticket.

GO ON DO IT - YOU KNOW IT MAKES SENSE!

Never bought a ST before but getting a popside one for £80 is it pay today or when collected?

Pay today

Thank you

I think most of the negative and angry posts we've seen on the forum this season have simply been expressions of supporters' frustration and disappointment. Which is understandable.

But I've a feeling that if events during the summer and early season give cause for real optimism then sales will improve, and if the Gulls find themselves near the top of the table next season with a good chance of promotion back to the Football League, then the crowds will return and the atmosphere around Plainmoor will change out of all recognition.

Shame you've only got one.

Anybody still undecided on renewing?

Last day, 0-3, gutless.

Have a think.....

we can only hope..........

Will certainly support the Gulls next season but the extent to which I'll do so will depend upon what happens. I'm encouraged to hear CH's words but he now needs to follow up with decisive action. So here's a message to him regarding the retained list:

Chris, your retained list: no big clear-out by you = no season ticket purchase by me...!!

'Exciting' players is a bit vague as I wouldn't put raw youngsters who have dropped down the leagues into that category. As Hargreaves has said, we need more leaders - experienced characters with success at that level. Those type of players would 'excite' me but I can understand why you're disillusioned with life at Plainmoor. We can either throw in the towel and feel sorry for ourselves or try and enjoy the summer and get behind the team next season.

It makes sense doesn't it Tommy? Why wallow around reflecting on relegation when those who make the decisions could be getting excited at the prospect of coming up with a determined campaign targeting anyone and everyone who may be considering it or not considering it. Why leave it to chance? I'm sure they'll get out there soon drumming up sales.


Hmmmmmmmmmm.

-offered 10% off to those renewing their season tickets for next year
-Match day programmes are £2 with a ST rather than £3
-publicise the 10% you get in the club shop with a ST
-(believe you have to pay for a birthday etc message) why not offer with 1 season ticket 1 free message
-on your birthday claim a free gift from the club shop (something around £5 in value)

Just little things that make it a more worthwhile purchase

Excellent post

I've only just read through this thread and there is some interesting stuff.

The above is just the kind of little tokens of thanks that are very much appreciated by fans and show that the club are considering them as people who like to feel part of the club and that their support is not taken for granted and not just customers.

The season ticket deal as it stands is a price freeze and **** all else.

Not good enough.The club should either reduce ticket prices or if not keep them as they are and offer other 'rewards' or 'incentives' like mentioned above.

If not then it is sad to say it but may I suggest doing something else on a matchday?
