marmite Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 Wont be long before they are on offer so here is the dilemma. All dissatisfied fans can refuse to renew as a clear message to SL about the situation. Don't worry if you still want to attend occasionally, there will be plenty of empty seats available and picking 10-15 games on potd will be cheaper than a s/t. Those who renew whatever (like myself until this fiasco) can continue as normal. Price, of course, will have an influence on peoples decisions, but s/t sales are the gauge of a clubs solid fan base and this might be the only way to prove to SL that we are not just offering empty threats. Maybe he won't care and maybe he will, but we must do more than just moan on here. I am still undecided as I am at heart a Bristol City supporter more than I am a LJ hater. I just wish SL would act and make my decision easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natchfever Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 I wont renew. Thousands will. If you are unhappy that's the best way to tell the club. If you are unhappy but renew stop moaning. You deserve what you get. If you are behind the club regardless fair play to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abraham Romanovich Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 I have been a season ticket holder for the last 13 years - I will not be renewing I have no wish to rattle around in a less than half empty stadium watching League 1 football. However I will buy one of those membership cards and pick and choose which matches to attend,The Gas ,Plymouth ,Portsmouth. I have stopped feeling angry and now just feel sad that this headlong rush to relegationhas been allowed to happen with the passive resistance of fans.

Slippin cider Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 I will make the final decision whether to renew in a few games time, but as it stands at the moment I won't be doing so. If the worst does happen, and it seems likely, I'll choose games to attend in L1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 They will probably put them on offer straight after we win a game so they think everyone is happy!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOTBLUE Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 For the first time in about 15 years of having a season ticket,it has entered my head that maybe I won't renew next season if LJ is in charge,I probably will,but the fact that a die hard like me is even thinking that should have the club very worried,sad times.

MarkRed! Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 I sit in the West Stand and have been a season ticket holder for a long time, previously sitting in the Dolman.... I also pay for the odd hospitality at the Gate for friends and family which is very good. Did it for some home games and it was good experience. Now, it has become a fcking nightmare watching that shite and there is simply no way I am going to pay those prices in League One. No fcking way. I have taken the decision that I will not renew whilst LJ is in charge. This does not mean I am a fickle fan but I am not going to show support for a club that continually lies to and misleads its fans. I am not going to put up with a club where the owner and his son run it like a game on Football Manager. I cannot stand LJ, his bull shit and his shit football. I cannot stand Ashton and his BS PR job.... With the fcking DNA we have installed we will soon be extinct! I can still follow the club and will select the games I attend home/away. I remember that night in Bradford under SC where I almost cried at watching us destroy a side to get promoted. I remember an old game at Bradford where they did us 5-1 or something. Thus, to play that way, against that team (I think that was the season they did Arsenal at home in the Cup) was a massive highlight. This followed a game on the Saturday at Preston where the team put in a fighting display to keep Preston at bay. Those nights are long gone.. the fight, spirit, passion, has gone. The pressing, high tempo football has gone... the style that we were trying to embed has gone. I cannot tell you how gutted it makes me feel.... Thanks to the board because only BCFC could fck up the momentum brought about by a double winning manager. Well done to all, you must be very proud SL....

Big C Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 I will be there next season no matter what. City have been making me miserable for 40 years or so, don't see why next season should be any different. This season hasn't even been close to the worse season I've had to endure with them.

We could be like Cardiff used to be next season...they used to pootle along with 8k crowds in Ninian Park and then suddenly get 15k for a game against us or Swansea....that's what the City hierarchy will have to get used to by the sounds of it. And if we ever get a modicum of success in the future and our crowds increase - fans of other clubs may chant "where were you when you were shit?!" And they'd have every right to, we've done it to other clubs and ridiculed them on here for their crowds- e.g. Newcastle, Rovers etc.....so we'll have just have to suck it up as it looks like we'll be doing the same....sad, sad times...

I admire you. I agree that there has been worse times/seasons, but has there ever been a time of this much total Tom Foolery? The left hand not knowing what the right is doing. The blind leading the blind. The skullduggery. The PR BS. People refusing to see facts staring them straight in the face. The total care free attitude. The negligence. The complete resignation and acceptance of shite. The bluffing. Has there been times like that? I cant remember them and I've been going 29 years. And if there has been times like that, I wager they've been quickly dealt with for better or for worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I occasionally go to a game on my own (usually away from AG) but wouldn't want to do so too often.

For me it's not about it being the worst season. Obviously the early eighties were terrible but we were all in it together. The last time we got relegated from the championship we were a terrible side and deserved to go down . That's what pissed me off more than anything about this season , the players are good enough but we have the worst manager in our history but SL is so blinded in his faith in him he can't see it . SL also imo knows less than nothing about football , if he did his love child would of been sacked months ago. 41 years following this club I love and 18 as a season ticket holder but there is no chance on earth that I will renew if we go down and that utter charleton is still in charge #johnsonout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bat Fastard Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 Well I will renew my season tickets - but not without protest. SOme of you chaps who are fixated on Johnson have missed the BIG issue - the choice or pies no longer includes the orgasmic chicken, ham and leek masterpiece! Unless this is back in the kiosks by the time of the next home game, I think we should hold a demonstration - we just need one or your talented demonstrators to come up with a chant - any ideas? Thinking back.....our bad spell started when they stopped selling these pies!! This may be a conspiracy!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do agree to a certain extent , I will definitely miss the social side of it meeting up with mates , having a few ciders etc. I just feel the club are taking us for complete mugs though.
