Shifty Powers Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 I will be in no rush to renew my ST next year. A shame, but I’m not sure I can be bothered. Pure empathy. Been an absolute chore this year. For one reason or another - I’ve not seen Wednesday win all season and including pre-season, it’s now 7 months until I’ve witnessed a victory.

Sure it was down to 15-16k for some midweek games in league 1 under Irvine (or when Megson took over). And we weren't being ripped off then.

full fathom five Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 I won't be renewing if Jos is still here as manager. Don't enjoy his football and don't enjoy being lied to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be possible if he keeps the price regime up and we drop....maybe not the first year, but it will happen without a change of direction...easily...Ive been in Hillsborough with 8K or less there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough mate...I'm simply debating it... The fanbase...in my opinion, is already being eroded, by prices, lack of communication and a poor team . There are Owls fans who have stopped going, simply because of prices, these fans are hard to drag back, they will ONLY be dragged back by success on the pitch..No sign at all of that happening..Then you might suggest lowering the price...hardly works, cos the team is still poor..Off they go...... lost. Extrapolate this , year on year, and the fanbase erodes...They don't take the kids..their kids don't take theirs..etc. The neutral Sheffield fan, or transient fan is not going to pay more money to watch what he can watch cheaper at Bramall lane...He takes his kids to the Lane..they become Blades fans..as do their kids... Long term..we are eroding our fan base..its starkly obvious to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PortlandOwl Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Not going on Tuesday mainly because I can't be arsed. Even watching on TV is becoming less and less attractive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leicesterowl Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Must admit the club /EFL are making the decision harder - I have 2 lads both just finished Uni and started work and mad keen despite the on field offerings ......both are now adult Season tickets in the North which I pay for as I can afford it and want to keep our lads day out...... but the killer is that we live in Leicestershire and despite every match being an ‘away’ game we get some sort of value from a ST ....however it is becoming increasingly difficult (and frustrating) to get to midweek and Friday night home games due to the ongoing roadworks/volume of traffic on the M1 After a day at work a couple of pints followed by the red button is more appealing than bumper to bumper traffic for between 2-3 hours, no beer and a return journey incorporating a detour through the centre of Nottingham because the M1 is closed or limited to one lane - not sure from the comments on here that many of the Sheffield based supporters appreciate these issues Could never envisage a time when we would not get Season Tickets especially after the boys kept the faith despite the flack they took from their mates as Leicester won the league .....but membership plus POTG is surprisingly looking more attractive for next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
