It takes a large chunk of my disposable income and it's painful, not enjoyable. Id be better off getting spanked once a week at city sauna Not sure you'd be better off, but at least you won't get your hopes up that it will be anything other than painful. You might get something up depending on your preferences. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admittedly, OT probably isn't always the best barometer, but you've got to think there will be a few thousand below what we've had for a few years. Things are coming home to roost.

We'llNeverBeMastered Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Only renewed because I still get it for £255 (forces concession), but it's my last one under that bracket. Won't be paying adult prices for this shambles next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eguin Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 4 hours ago, Steelman said: On Monday I renewed mine and my 13 year old's season ticket. Like most who have, I've only been paid once since Christmas, and Christmas was quite expensive. I wasn't happy that it had been brought forward two months and couldn't help but feel I'd been taken advantage of, like a mug. Why had they been brought forward by a couple of months? Are we having more cash flow problems with FFP? Does the club know we've got a points deduction coming in February or March that would in all likelihood mean we get relegated to League 1? Would we start next season in the championship with a points deduction making it a write-off before a ball is kicked? All legitimate considerations that still haven't been answered. When I'd paid for the tickets instead of excitement, optimism or even hope at another season of watching Wednesday I just felt used, taken advantage of, dirty even. And not in a good way. So why did I renew? I think like most who have, or will at a later date, we will watch Wednesday regardless. It's about time with family and friends in the pub before and after as well as the banter that you have with the random ST holders that you sit with. People who you would never meet in real life but who you are thrown together with because of your shared love for Wednesday. Then after a few seasons they aren't strangers, they're your weekend family. It's our own little cult and it's ours. Then there's the away days. We all know how the TPP system works in relation to season tickets. I've built mine up over years to the stage I can go to any away games I want. And I go to plenty, either as lads and dads thing with friends who've also built their points up over time, and their kids, or some heavy all day benders with the lads. Both are top days out in their own ways. Notice how I haven' actually mentioned the football yet? The football is secondary to a degree and that's how "they" get you. I'm sure when asked about the match all of us will have said on at least half a dozen occasions that we've "had a great day out ruined by 90 minutes of football". It's the life of about 99.9% of football fans. I do not want to give it up and Chansiri knows that, the "club" knows that, that's why we're taken for granted that's why people will renew. That's how they get us. But people aren't stupid. There's a point where the football becomes so bad, where the club becomes such a shambles that people walk away. So I'll pay my Premier League Prices for what's possibly a League 1 season ticket next season. Or a season where we start with a 20 point deduction where "success" will be defined by finishing 4th bottom. There's no optimism from me about the number of players out of contract and the opportunity to rebuild. This club is such a shambles and so toxic with Chansiri in charge that I don't think we'll be able to attract players. I can easily see us starting next season without enough senior pro's to make up a full matchday squad. So enjoy my ST money SWFC and please try to spend it wisely. But also bear this in mind. You will not takethepiss out of me for another season after the next one. If you serve League 1 football at Premier League prices I'll walk. If I continue to see what I'm currently seeing I'll walk. Because there's only so far you can go with an incompetent and dishonest set-up before the fans will walk away. I will not continue to be fleeced because of blind loyalty after next season and I'm sure many of us are at that tipping point now. #Chansisriout I stopped going after 43 years, 2 years ago. After being ripped off year after year, the players have no loyalty, so why pay their big wages, just for then to take us for granted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taximark Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 1 hour ago, jimi said: I cannot agree more with this. Counter-productive to the needs of the club it may be, especially given our P&S situation, however as a kind of 'personal protest' I've not renewed my ST. I just cannot bear to give the current chairman any more of my hard-earned money. We're treated like absolute mugs. Lied to - "Would you rather continue to pay the current pricing in exchange for a higher quality of player or pay cheaper prices and see the youth played?" Fizz off. Taken for granted. All whilst the club deem it unnecessary, for whatever reason, to engage in any sort of communication with the fan base. I don't feel connected to the club. I don't feel a part of it. And I don't feel my loyalty is rewarded in any way whatsoever. The man is horrendously mismanaging this football club. How long are the fan base prepared to put up with it? One perfect example ...thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan48 Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 The fan base have to 'be prepared to put up with it ' because they are powerless to do anything about it -- apart from stop going . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazzabramleyowl Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 This is exactly how a lot of fans feel right now . I did not renew this season after 20 odd years of having a season ticket. Writing was on the wall after last fans forum Chansiri closed ranks and threatened to sell the club EFL now looking into sale of ground We counter that claim ? No smoke without fire and I fear the worst . Players cannot be arsed and not up for a fight for the blue and white stripes And us fans suffer yet again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My day has come. Wonder how many more people there are like me. I'm the same. The club and Chansiri can sweat for my £500 until we know what is going on. Bringing forward to February is just mental. I honestly cannot be bothered with another season in league one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhForAnotherShez Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 God, what a bloody awful thread. I suppose I am WTID, I have been since '63 and missed 2 league games at S6. It hurts like f*8k at the moment, and I see everyone's point of view (for a change). My t1tz are on the floor too.
