I am as annoyed, as pissed off as the rest of you, but what can I do? I am torn, I know the club is being run badly, know the manager is turd, and I know things are not going to change quickly, but I still love my club. Please tell me, WTF can I do? I have bought our ST's but I have made a decision not to attend again until things change. I hope I am attending again soon. I think it is the problem, they know they can serve up rubbish and folk will renew, keep turning up because it's that inner passion within most of us. Said in threads this week on here that I am finally defeated on committing to a season ticket. Will undoubtedly still be turning up next season POTG but just the weekend games. It's the only way I can express my opinion on how the club is being run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our STs are dearer than the vast majority of clubs in the football league but hey let's ignore that because...well because they're so much cheaper than the POTG prices. Some of us who weren't there today have committed up front too btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

latemodelchild Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Renewed last week for me and the little un. We'll stop going when we've had enough I reckon. Anyway, looking forward to the next season ticket thread where I'll give the same response. If you've decided not to renew or turn up then carry on, got to say though I'm bored of hearing it. Just don't come to games. It's not hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not being funny mate and I respect your contribution to this forum, but no one gives a fu*k whether you or anyone else did or didn’t go today or whether anyone has renewed their season ticket or they haven’t. No matter how strong the call for ‘Direct action’ or ‘Boycotts’ is touted, it is totally irrelevant. A:- There are the hard core who will go whatever, they see themselves as died in the wool Wednesdayites & their support is totally unconditional & not dependant on current form or anything else. B:-Everyone knows any sort of ‘action’ is a complete joke because as soon as a corner is turned or we go on some unexpected run of form, or we unexpectedly reached the play offs or latter stages of a cup, the ones shouting loudest for a boycott would be the ones elbowing people out of the way in the rush for tickets. Wonder how many of the unwashed that were screaming for McCabes head & threatening never to go again are now “Blaaaades fer life”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC please just sell the club and let's bring some respectability back. Someone who has the readies & who knows they would carry on going regardless. Also someone who is aware due to the vagaries of football, that what is the situation now, may not be the same situation next year (never mind ten years hence). I refer again to our unwashed neighbours from S2. Wonder how many were saying similar things 3 or 4 years ago. Im surprised football fans are so convinced that current form is somehow always permanent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People go because they care, it’s the most important thing in their life, irrespective of what’s going on at the club, they turn up in their thousands, devoted and loyal. Supporting your club is for life, though thick and thin. If we go down this season, do you actually think people will stop supporting the club ? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick_Turpin Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 (edited) I've renewed for a variety of reasons. There's nothing I spend this much money on that's been so ultimately disappointing - boring even recently. It's partly habit and partly because I'm scared of missing out and partly because I go with pals and partly because I'm a Wednesdayite and have been going to games since 1972 and partly because it's my version of mindfulness, for 90 minutes wife, kids, work, family, health worries don't matter. Instead all that matters is 22 grown men kicking a bag of wind around. However, I don't think there's any intrinsic merit to my decision that gives me the right to slag off other people for not being as "big" a fan as I am. I can see entirely why people wouldn't renew - their finances, attitudes, families, location etc. might all be totally different from mine. And the club with performances, prices and general off field incompetence has pushed people to the limit when it comes to committing to the most expensive tickets outside the Premier League. Each to their own. Edited February 15, 2020 by rickygoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manchester_Owl Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 There's a breaking point. The club is getting close to it, if not already It's all compounded and not one issue. A season ticket is a commitment that's means sacrifice elsewhere. To put it simply, I ain't buying a league one football season ticket, (I have in the past, before anyone jumps at me). I'm also not buying a season ticket with the FFP situation unresolved. There was a contract when he came in. That contract was;- fans pay higher than most clubs in the division, (whilst we are in the Championship), and the club will make us the most competitive. In addition to that, once we got there it was implied season ticket prices would come down. (That's never going to happen with the 5, 10 year season tickets). Most fans commited to this contract. One can view that the club have renegade on their part of the contract. We aren't competitive and we are under investigation. That's why everyone feels pee'd off.

Typical moronic response from the king of non Wednesdayites. Asteener an apologist. Latemodelchild an apologist. Andy an apologist. 31st December66. an apologist. They’re not apologists, they are something you probably struggle to recognise in your quest for smart one liners. ie proper supporters in the traditional, pre social media sense.
