Red-Robbo Posted April 17, 2022 Report Share Posted April 17, 2022 Well yet more confirmation of madness in the Robbo family, I have renewed my ST. With the disquiet over the club's direction; some questions regarding Big Nige, and the prospect of few if any new players this summer - all coupled with an ongoing Cost of Living Crisis, I wonder how many will not renew for 22/23.

Calculus Posted April 17, 2022 Report Share Posted April 17, 2022 Yup, certainly have. One of these years it will happen, just need to keep the faith until then. I also play golf very badly, so it's high quality sport all the way for me... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted April 17, 2022 Report Share Posted April 17, 2022 I`m not. After nearly fifty years I`ve finally had enough of 10 hour days to watch ninety minutes of football and not getting home till 1am for night matches. Add in the hassle of parking, cost of petrol and everything else it`s finally beaten me. I`ll never stop loving City, I`ve got too much invested down the years, but I just can`t be doing with the faff of the `match day experience` any more. I`ll probably get a VPN sorted out and watch via Robins TV so the club will at least get some cash out of me though. 7 3 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numero Uno Posted April 17, 2022 Report Share Posted April 17, 2022 (edited) If, as I suspect, we get around 80% renewal and we end up with circa 10-11k season ticket holders then I think the owner should count himself lucky tbh. It hasn’t been one bad season, we’ve been watching crap football for four seasons now and the mismanagement of the club which will not repair itself short term whoever is first team manager is certainly testing loyalty.

glynriley Posted April 17, 2022 Report Share Posted April 17, 2022 Done. Old man took me to my first game in 1973, so I’m balls deep now. Anyhow can’t let the old bugger suffer on his own now, can I…? 1 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Port Said Red Posted April 17, 2022 Report Share Posted April 17, 2022 I am great believer in things going in cycles, I am always thinking the good times are coming around again.

elhombrecito Posted April 17, 2022 Report Share Posted April 17, 2022 There's been plenty of worse seasons than this one in my time as a season ticket holder, so if I didn't cancel then, I'm certainly not going to now. If I'm lucky enough to be able to afford it, then I'll always renew. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolfOfWestStreet Posted April 17, 2022 Report Share Posted April 17, 2022 Would be my 13th season but calling it a day. Not been the same since the east end and don't enjoy it anymore, a ST is a burden. I wish the club well, and will follow from a distance with a scattering of away games. My Wife and FIL will still be going and i'll spend the saturdays with my son, excited about it tbh. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanderingred Posted April 17, 2022 Report Share Posted April 17, 2022 Attendances are going to drop to an average of around 15-16k next season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Exile Posted April 17, 2022 Report Share Posted April 17, 2022 No, and we won't be. Like @Lanterne Rouge it's the sheer slog of a whole day travelling for a 'matchday experience' that has usually been one of extreme frustration. Apart from the chat with @GrahamC it's rarely been worth the effort. It'll be POTD next year, as it often has been in the past, we'll buy memberships. On the upside our last POTD season was 2014-15. Very happy to be out of pocket if next year turns out to be as good as that! 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furious Custard Posted April 17, 2022 Report Share Posted April 17, 2022 Not renewing after 20 ish non consecutive seasons (missed a couple whilst at uni) . The only way is down for us next season and I will be putting money on it. I cant bring myself to go to the remaining games, it's just so poor. Manager is not up to the task. I dont know if anyone available right now would be either. Core number of players for next season are not good enough for the league. Finances are shot so incomings are going to be the same quality as King and James and the like as we are not an attractive proposition at all right now. Sure we could sell one or two but they would have to be replaced and I Don't see us getting better than what we sell. We ship goals for fun and Weiman isn't going to get 20 next season. Depending on who comes up from L1 I don't think there will be 3 worse teams than us. Call me a pessimist or whatever but this is how I feel. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Army 75 Posted April 17, 2022 Report Share Posted April 17, 2022 Me and the boy renewed, he would be very disappointed if I didn’t. He still loves it like most kids do. Also works out at 20 quid a game for us both. Reasonable 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barrs Court Red Posted April 17, 2022 Report Share Posted April 17, 2022 Tempted to get one as the kids are really enjoying going this season, it’s been over 10 years since my last one I reckon. The P&R from Bris swings it for me. Easy enough to rock up at the ground around an hour before kickoff without the faff of finding somewhere to park or the kids getting bored. Not overly bothered by the less than exciting football, as the enjoyment comes from the kids enjoying it, if that makes sense? Decent price as well in the family bit. 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect there were times in the early 80s when my old man was thinking **** this we are shit. But as a kid I loved it and he knew that. It’s the same now with my boy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUTOR Posted April 17, 2022 Report Share Posted April 17, 2022 The football itself has always been secondary for me and it’s a good chance to see friends which I would see much less frequently if it wasn’t for City. As long as it’s in my means and I am living in Bristol I will always be there. Having said that, since the re development the pre and post match is much more enjoyable than the game itself and the atmosphere inside the ground which used to be the best bit.

GreedyHarry Posted April 17, 2022 Report Share Posted April 17, 2022 POTD for me next season if I go to any. I’ve used my season ticket for myself about 6 times this season. If it’s not a 3pm Saturday kick off it’s really difficult for me to get there but that’s always been the case. The football also isn’t the main reason ( although that hasn’t been brill). It’s the way people now behave since we’ve come through the lockdowns. Maybe it’s me but I just can’t put up with it any more #grumpyoldman 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weepywall Posted April 17, 2022 Report Share Posted April 17, 2022 I'm yet to decide but leaning towards not, having a ticket makes me go but more often than not I wish I hadn't bothered, may buy a membership and pick and choose next season. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyTonyTony Posted April 17, 2022 Report Share Posted April 17, 2022 Not decided tbh. I didn’t have one this season - I enjoyed picking and choosing which games to go to. I suspect I’ll do the same. My son is old enough now to go with his mates so he has already signed up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exAtyeoMax Posted April 17, 2022 Report Share Posted April 17, 2022 Yes, I renewed a couple of weeks ago. I don’t even know where I will be living next year so could be difficult to get to Ashton Gate, hoping to get to more away games though. Could possibly be moving back to London. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Balls Posted April 17, 2022 Report Share Posted April 17, 2022 If I renewed after we got relegated in 2012/13, then this is a much easier decision to renew. The football has been frustrating this season due to conceding late goals, but compared to the last season under LJ, we are scoring more goals, so more opportunities to jump around, plus we have some genuinely exciting prospects, if we can hold on to them and fit them into the team. Plus after our enforced time away from the match day experience, going back to the pub afterwards remains a guilty pleasure, even if all we do is moan about what we have had to endure watching yet another last minute opposition goal go in! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waconda Posted April 17, 2022 Report Share Posted April 17, 2022 Not currently. Will either pick and chose or wait to see if there is hope on the horizon later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoystonFoote'snephew Posted April 17, 2022 Report Share Posted April 17, 2022 I will renew (haven't yet) but if I don't see improvement this coming season it could well be my last. After more than 60 years of watching City I no longer get the buzz of the matchday experience and when we are playing so poorly night games have become a chore rather than a desired pilgrimage. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lack of Action Man Posted April 17, 2022 Report Share Posted April 17, 2022 Yes, we’ve renewed our two season tickets. Yes, we are probably mad for doing so 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topper 123 Posted April 17, 2022 Report Share Posted April 17, 2022 Yes will renew but might move seat , at end of the day what else will you do on a sat it’s not just the 90 mins it’s meeting your mates what counts if it was only the 90 mins would have packed in long time back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
