Salmonbones Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 (edited) I've seen a couple of full houses this season, of sorts. Loved them. Can't wait for Wembley and I know i'm tempting fate saying that, but it will be awesome, again. I remember 91, 93 and then also Cardiff and I loved them all, but obviously 93 less (twice - my sister got married when we beat the blades so I missed that game!) I'm not into "I'm a better fan because I buy a season ticket etc" - I just genuinely want to know what would turn those floaters (be careful!) that turn up for big games, to change them into regular - if not 100%, but at least more often, regular attenders at Hillsborough? People have tried these kinds of threads before, and they ALWAYS degenerate, so here is an attempt that is asking before hand to not turn into Truefanâ„¢ V Part timer and i'm a better fan than you etc. Cost is obviously a factor, and lets be honest the play off game was cheap. But other than cost, what else would tempt you back, or keep you away? We are now a successful top side championship team, so some have now lost one reason. Note I said reason, not excuse. Lets keep this civil. Edited May 15, 2016 by salmonbones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussieowl87 Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 (edited) Living closer. Can't justify a whole Saturday away from wife and 2 year old. Also if BabyAussie was older, then the above wouldn't apply because we'd all go to matches. Give me 4 years at most... I'll be there. Managed Bristol City, Arsenal, Huddersfield, Wolves, Rotherham, Cardiff, Playoff Semi. Not bad going... Edited May 15, 2016 by aussieowl87 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Chow Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 One massive one for a lot of people would be the price of tickets. Can see more people wanting to go away next season if we go up with every away day being £30 from the start of next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poite Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Premier league football. That I simply couldn't miss out on. If we get promoted I'll buy a season ticket and worry about the commute etc afterwards. If we're in the championship again I'll go every now and again when family, work, money etc is right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owling Wolfe Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Not working shifts. If I had a Monday to Friday job I would buy a season ticket. As it is I get to as many as possible and have a membership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pompeyowl Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Due to getting divorced, I have moved to Sheffield and have been to most home matches since being here. Doesn't matter how bad we are, I'll be there when the funds allow it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East Yorks Owl Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 If I lived in the Sheffield area I would definitely have a season ticket. I take my hat off to those season ticket supporters who travel hundreds of miles to attend Hillsborough, but my circa 150 mile round trip is far more the deal breaker rather than the cost of a season pass.

SwintOwl Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Honestly, cheap tickets like on Friday is the only factor for me, especially since my dream job of being a professional gambler seems to have failed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MallorcaOwl Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 I am a season ticket holder, but for most people it is down to cost, family commitment, & work commitment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddogbob Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 (edited) Not having to work Saturdays. I dispise working Saturday but there is zero chance I can change it were I am now. Im an optical lab tech, if somebody can sort me a job where I'm not working Saturday, I'll be straight down to buy a season ticket.

WC1Owl Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 I don't live in Sheffield, and it's not practical for me to be up more or less every other weekend. I'd certainly have one if I lived in Sheffield, even if I wouldn't necessarily go to every game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dooogs Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Primarily, once our youngest is 6 or so - I'm a part-timer until they're old enough for us to go as a family. Secondarily, the cost of family tickets - I dread to think how much it'd cost for two adults and 3-4 kids... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waynecoyne14 Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 the chairman being ambitious rather than treading water like the last one made the difference for me we can fly as high as we want if he keeps putting the money in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horny owl Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 It's too expensive for me I had season tickets for sixteen consecutive seasons up to late 90s But can't justify it these days I'll stay as a part timer even when we're back in the top flight and get to as many away days as I can too. Just like I've done for the last decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
