Wade Garrett Posted 13 May, 2023 Share Posted 13 May, 2023 All depends on the direction the club goes in. If the new manager is another cleverbollocks appointment I won’t bother. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragon_man Posted 13 May, 2023 Share Posted 13 May, 2023 Probably and not a chance. Without seeing some drastic overhaul, all I see is another season like this. With travel, food and 8 away games etc, I think this season cost me about £2k for me and an U18. Value for money ... lol Only memorable thing was being front row for the Chelsea away win. For some reason we went today. I'll see how the new season goes first and we'll come along to a few matches ad-hoc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd Posted 13 May, 2023 Share Posted 13 May, 2023 I'll wait and see who the next manager is. If we go for another inexperienced manager like, Martin, Schumacher, Gerrard or Rooney then definitely not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGTL Posted 13 May, 2023 Share Posted 13 May, 2023 Will renew for away priority, as always. Talking of which, losing the £30 cap is going to be painful.

Saintscummer Posted 13 May, 2023 Share Posted 13 May, 2023 No doubt I will. I’m not a plastic.

MidsSaint1 Posted 13 May, 2023 Share Posted 13 May, 2023 Probably not, it really doesn't feel like our club anymore, I've never felt so detached from the football club as now. I mean really wtf is going on?? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitey Grandad Posted 13 May, 2023 Share Posted 13 May, 2023 Let’s wait and see. I don’t think I will renew if the prices stay the same. Since we were ejected from our central seats and displaced from the neighbours that we had known for decades I have no special affiliation with where we are now. There’s always a few games that we can’t go to over the season and We will always be able to get tickets should we fancy going but to be honest. I can’t be arsed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Clarke Posted 13 May, 2023 Share Posted 13 May, 2023 If we see a substational change in playing staff then yeah, I'll be back in the Champ - don't have a ST this year, so it won't be a renew. However I will refuse to pay a penny if we are forced to watch Diallo, Bednarek, Lynaco, A Armstrong and co stink out the Championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 13 May, 2023 Share Posted 13 May, 2023 The only reason I will renew is because it will probably be the final season before my son goes off to Uni (hopefully!) and, depending on where he ends up, it might not be practical for him to have a season ticket the year after. It will not be because I 'believe in the project' or the quality of the product/experience as a customer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Chuckle Posted 13 May, 2023 Author Share Posted 13 May, 2023 Like others I feel massively detached. I've considered an Eastleigh season ticket as well this coming season after having a Southampton one since 1996. Ill eagerly await who they appoint as manager before making a decision alongside the price. £530 for 2 wins has been no value for money 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fanimal Posted 13 May, 2023 Share Posted 13 May, 2023 No because after 23 years on the Northam I have had a gutful of crowing away fans and Saints continually letting the opposition kick towards them in the second half Will aim for the Kingsland near half way Anyone want to swap??

die Mannyschaft Posted 13 May, 2023 Share Posted 13 May, 2023 Needs to be a reduction in price for season tickets as its too expensive plus on the day ticket costs. These are the prices for teams in championship this season. Surprisingly expensive so club will say its on par with others and keep prices same or as I suspect 10% more. Birmingham City - £250 to £475Blackburn - £429 to £529Blackpool - £309 to £54Bristol City - £380 to £675Burnley - £365 to £590Cardiff - £249 to £529Coventry - £399Huddersfield - £350Luton - £430 to £500Middlesbrough - £514 to £675Millwall - £385 to £560Preston - £400 to £535QPR - £235 to £640Reading - £299 to £445Rotherham - £380 to £460Sheff Utd - £404 to £515Stoke - £379 to £556Sunderland - £390 to £498Swansea - £345Watford - £438 to £567West Brom - £329 to £439Wigan - £379 to £399 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saintsfanuk Posted 13 May, 2023 Share Posted 13 May, 2023 Yup will be renewing just as have done for the last 21 years. Hopefully we'll have a clear out and get a good manager in and some strikers. Take the good times and the bad. If I see Elyounoussi ever on the pitch again I may regret that, he sums up everything that is wrong with the squad, can't pass, can't create and can't score.

terrypward Posted 13 May, 2023 Share Posted 13 May, 2023 £348.50 per win this season for me, and that's not as bad as for some others. We deserve some loyalty based reward for that "value for money"... but I'll renew whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenilworthy Posted 13 May, 2023 Share Posted 13 May, 2023 I will renew for myself and my two boys. I can't help myself and have got used to disappointment on disappointment having followed Saints since 1969. Honestly think next season will be a massive struggle. There are a lot of teams in the league we struggle against away like Bristol City, Norwich and Preston. My primary concern is that we don't get relegated again.

miserableoldgit Posted 14 May, 2023 Share Posted 14 May, 2023 (edited) At this moment I really can't say what I will do. Having supported the club for over 60 years (ST holder since 1975), I actually feel quite beaten down by what has happened over the last two or three years. I experienced other relegations and they made me sad.....this one just made me very angry....it was avoidable. Paying upfront for a ST and seeing two wins and an unchanging "style" of football where all games meld into one.......same old, same old....tippy-tappy across the back....back to GK...punt forward to nobody......opposition string five or six passes together and score, under three different "managers" this season is, to say the least, extremely depressing. I need to see something very positive and exciting happen at the club before I make up my mind. It is obvious that we have, with a few exceptions, a squad of players who don't give a stuff about the club.....looking at it as a stepping stone, knowing that if we are relegated they will move on to a bigger payday. SR REALLY need to get things right....they can't afford another season like this...neither can I. Edited 14 May, 2023 by miserableoldgit 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Duckhunter Posted 14 May, 2023 Share Posted 14 May, 2023 Not only was the football horrendous, but the trains were probably the worst I can remember. Crystal Palace a particular low, I felt like John Candy in Trains, Planes & automobiles trying to reach Sellhurst by kick off time. Train strike yesterday & relegation a perfect fit which summed up the season, and we’ve more train nonsense next week on route to Brighton. That said, I’m already stating to look forward to next season and come Aug I’ll be full of confidence that the people who stopped going will miss a great season when we finally win the championship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Nimbus Posted 15 May, 2023 Share Posted 15 May, 2023 I had a ST up until the Koeman's first season. That was the point I couldn't afford to justify how much it was costing me. Regardless of price I will get one for me and my lad who will be 16 when the season KO. The whole Championship, L1, Championship ride was the best time I have had. Met loads of good lads, brilliant aways and really felt connected to the club. I'm hoping to feel like that again because this season, with these losers on the pitch, some complete tools managerially and the "we know how to beat football" people in charge has left me very very deflated, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ant Posted 15 May, 2023 Share Posted 15 May, 2023 (edited) I've the will to renew - and don't really want to lose my seat. But am paying 100% more in rent than 12 months ago. So... May be out of my hands. Frankly I wouldn't blame anybody for choosing not to renew. Doesn't necessarily mean they're a 'plastic', either. Do you have genuine faith in Sports Republic fixing this?

spyinthesky Posted 18 May, 2023 Share Posted 18 May, 2023 The money I will receive from the relegation bet I put on in October plus the money I put aside each week, will pay for 2 season tickets Whilst fully respecting the decision of many others to give up their tickets, watching Saints is too ingrained in me now although recent visits to St Marys is akin to going to the dentist. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dman Posted 18 May, 2023 Share Posted 18 May, 2023 I’ll renew and I’m really looking forward to it. Less day trippers (hopefully), no VAR and hopefully a few more wins will make it a much better experience. Im sick of the PL, I’m glad we’re out of it from a fans perspective, if I’m honest. Not expecting the overall price to drop, would imagine it’ll stay the same. They’ll justify it by saying the price per game has dropped given the increase in games. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Tone Posted 18 May, 2023 Share Posted 18 May, 2023 Of course I'll renew. I support saints. Quite enjoyed the lower leagues last time. Too many on here seem to have only seen us in the Premier League. There is life elsewhere! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suewhistle Posted 18 May, 2023 Share Posted 18 May, 2023 Will the ticket be better value than the £290 I paid to see each home win? I don't want to be taken for granted with high prices for an inferior product, and might pick and choose depending on other commitments. I'll certainly still go to many games, but as friends have given up going my regular seat gives me familiar faces but no more than that. If Sports Republic had any marketing nous they'd drop the prices substantially to get a full ground and a buzz going, maybe get more youngsters along too as they are the future.
