Are you renewing your season ticket?

[EssEffCee]

Thought it'd be interesting to see how many people plan on renewing their ST's next year.

I suspect this season has broken many fans and we'll see quite a sharp drop from last season especially as prices will be higher than then. Although I reckon the matches against the skates might make some people's mind up.

Personally I'll be renewing regardless. Mainly for away game reasons but also because next season will undoubtedly be much more enjoyable than this one.

Am tempted to bin the Northam off though and move to the Chapel...

It's a yes from me as I prefer the championship anyway

Hopefully not many season tickets sold either side of the away end so loads of lads can buy there for the skates game, recreate an Itchen North style for one off 

[miserableoldgit]

Probably a yes......I have had one for 50 years, although it hasn't had much use this season.....combination of health reasons and it being a sh1tshow.

[Whitey Grandad]

As I’ve said before, my grandson won’t be able to go so I have also decided not to renew. I’m looking forward to having other options next season.

[spyinthesky]

I will be renewing but have been a season ticket holder for many years and have had the same seat in the Itchen since St Marys opened although I am the only one of the five of us who sat together when the stadium opened.
Sad to say that three of the group are not with us any more.

[Barton Saint]

Going to move over to the Itchen corner to get in the sunshine 

[revolution saint]

Yep, almost certainly renewing my ST and actually looking forward to next season. Championship is a great division and much more fun. 

[franniesTache]

Yup i'll be renewing, think this will be 42nd consecutive season of going to watch saints so fuck knows what i'd do if i didn't.

That said i'd rather shave my bollocks with a rusty angle grinder than spend another season in the northam wall so will definitely be moving

Need to think about it. Probably dependant on the manager and the type of player we bring in cos I really dont want to watch most of these twats trot around anymore.

[Lord Duckhunter]

I’ll be renewing as the football is only half of it. If being disappointed, watching over paid players mincing about, and losing regularly, were reasons not to go, I’d have stopped years ago.

I don’t go away much nowadays as I watch my lad’s Wessex league side, so home games & 3 or 4 aways does me fine. 
 

 

 

[Charlie Wayman]

Nope

[OldNick]

yes, we have 2 

[ant]

On one hand, I'd be lost without it. On the other, this is the 3rd or 4th consecutive renewal where I've seriously questioned it. And do I really want to hand SR more of my hard-earned to squander?

Hmm.

[die Mannyschaft]

Yes. Championship more entertaining and we have a chance to win games. Another play off final will do nicely. 

[Oldandtired]

I don’t know. I might wait and be a glory hunter, get a half season if they’re doing well. I’m not overly bothered about a wet Tues evening in December watching us, 11th, vs Stoke, 13th, or something tbh, especially if some form of var is introduced. 
 

I’ve watched Saints for 65 odd years now and can honestly say that this season has put me off a bit. Whether it’s just me getting too old or what I don’t know but I’m not too sure I’m that bothered anymore.

[Willo of Whiteley]

I can imagine season tickets will be a similar price to last season with the spin of “you get four extra games”.

[Tommy]

We could be in league two and I’d renew for myself and the lad, if you only want to support the team in the prem you are part of the problem

Don’t forget your sunglasses.

[Wade Garrett]

Definitely.  We’ve got Spors pulling the strings now, not that’s phoney prick Rasmus.

I’m looking forward to a team of players that actually play for the shirt and a manager that thinks more about winning games instead of style of play.

We are going to absolutely destroy the Championship next year.  Not missing that.

Why do you think people only support in Prem that aren’t renewing?

Situations change some lose family, some lose jobs, some move away.

I have been going since 67 and am only renewing if I can afford it not what division we are in.

part of what problem that the recruitment has been utter shit?

See you there then !!!😎

[LGTL]

Yes, but only for access to the aways as usual. With the extra bonus of Fratton looking likely of course.

That’s a bloody ridiculous statement. I’ve been a season ticket holder since 1979 and apart from the Branfoot era I have never been as fed up with watching Saints as I have been this season. It’s got fuck all to do with what league the club are in, the “prem” only supporters don’t tend to become season ticket holders by and large !

[whelk]

Had ST for last 15 odd years. Although this season was the one I missed most games. As others said Championship much better and if was just for watching games would have sacked off years ago. Catching up with mates in pub before and often after is reason for renewal

Will you be back with your motivational pre-match thread posts as well? That’s when I’ll know football has properly returned!

[macca155]

Probably will, I've had a season ticket since the early 90s. Hard to envisage a life without one.

Having said that motivating myself to go has been difficult this year. Football is a family event for us so other factors in play.

What might sway me is the ridiculous KO times. Lots of non 3pm games for Saints next year. The early Saturday KO are going to be particularly awkward. See what the fixture list throws up I suppose.

Problem is I can be all billy big bollocks about not renewing, but I know I am pathetic and shallow. A new manager and some player movement, will have me all enthusiastic until August.

[Wiggles31]

After the disaster of this season I want to renew just to lift my spirits. We could come 13th next season and it would still be 10 times better than this season. Plus now having a little one it’s priceless time to have a few beers with the old man. 

[ecuk268]

As long as the price doesn't go up, I'll be renewing.

My 10-year old grandson will also be getting his first season ticket (does that count as child abuse)?

I read this article which says that the big clubs are looking to reduce the number of season ticket holders in favour of "tourists". Apparently, season ticket holders tend to turn up and watch the game without spending much, whereas the tourists buy the over-priced stuff in the club shops.

It never gets mentioned that until the Palace game we have consistently filled St Marys this season whilst watching the team register the worst results in Premier league history. If that had been Newcastle 'its like a religion' United or Manchester Citeh they would be fawning over this. 

Like most other Saints fans I will be renewing.

Only 4 months before we destroy everything in front of us, including those fucking inbred peasants down the road.

I don’t know if that makes us great or a bunch of nods. Calling Lord Dunkhunter to clarify 😝
