PFree Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 I have renewed my season ticket £425, not in support of the manager, because I support Bristol City Football Club. I agree I've just renewed three because if I don't, and things are once again dire next season, we probably wouldn't bother going being honest and that wouldn't help OUR club.

Markman Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 Not renewing - mostly due to GJ It is expensive - my son does not have a lot of dosh and for the 2 of us looking at over £650 Still love the club as much as anyone and will pay on the day - may be more expensive but not such a whack to the wallet May give in - but not all supporters are ST holders and those that pay on the day every week are just as loyal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Economou Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 Will be renewing mine. Was a regular POTD for 20 odd years and only had an ST for the last couple of seasons. Must admit it's fantastic value for money in the EE, also nice to have the choice of where to go although usually gravitate to the same seat.

vincent_bcfc Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 Will hopefully renew on saturday, if not then when the price goes up ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Rag Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 Done it. Just now waiting for the pain from the wife when she looks at the bank account and finds out the new wardrobes will just have to wait. Still the garden shed is a great place to find solitude.

CiderJar Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 I am surprised Chessels Chick hasn't been on to say her brother has renewed for her. Because he has. See you Saturday. No reason, other than that some 35 years ago I promised to follow till I was dead, and this is the cheapest way to do it without Mrs Jar killing me.

Robbored Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 Well I've taken the plunge and parted with £395 for my ST. Popped down the Gate this afternoon. Hopefully we'll get better entertainment for our money next season but I won't be holding my breath if Johnson is still in charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elhombrecito Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 I've renewed - and I would do no matter what type of football was on offer or who was manager. Could only afford it thanks to a bonus at work though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stick Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 got mine today will be there every week anyway so makes sense to save on match day prices only gripe is the renewal date seems to get earlier every year still, had ST for 20 years so aint gonna stop now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frome Red Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 I brought season tickets for the first time this season for me and my 2 sons & It's now part of are life ! so did not hesitate in renewing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it means why couldn't you have left your post at one sentence. You just couldn't stop yourself from the other bitter comment could you ? If we played like Brazil you'd still want the manager out.

Dolman Block B Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 I'll renew but I'm ****** if I'll do it at some stupidly early deadline that is creeping closer to Xmas every year. They really are taking the piss with that. I like the day out with old mates in the pub even if the football has by and large been complete shite. I will be expecting us to be significantly more entertaining next season and to stop arsing around kidding ourselves with wingbacks and 433 and have solved the obvious long running problems with squad balance. Results wise playoffs would be nice, top 10 will be fine. Excellent reply NIBOR. Who gives a toss about the small discount being offered. Things could change bigtime between now and the end of the season. Look at the Cardiff situation. Sold 10,000 tickets earlier in the year on the back of a massive chance of making the prem, but look now! I still have lost my confidence with the management team, even though were unbeaten in 3. Not sure even if i want to watch another season like the currrent again. But knowing me, will be there again, but when i want to! i will renew when it suits me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red badger Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 Renewed mine and the lad's...of course it's not been as exciting so far this year - and the away matches are less often these days - but not living in Bristol it's rarely made financial sense to have a ST - more of an investment in the club really....

Nogbad the Bad Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 Renewed mine and Turnip's yesterday, and I did the same last year. At that time I had no idea City were going to sign Clarkson, Gerken, Blackman, Hartley, Haynes, Nyatanga, Sno, Saborio and the more recent arrivals. I didn't know the Basso situation was going to unfold or that McIndoe, Adebola, Styvar and Weale wouldn't start the new season with us and that Trundle had no future at the club. I didn't know who 6 of the opposing teams would be. I didn't know for sure who the manager would be or whether it would be a promotion, mid table, or even relegation season. I knew there were no guarantees, that there would be frequent frustrations and I'd often be disappointed, but I didn't hesitate to renew. What I did know is there would be great games, poor games, boring games, unexpected victories and shattering defeats and that City would find a way of putting me through the mill as usual. Gary Johnson may or may not be with us in August - if he is, he may or may not still be here at Christmas, or the end of next season. That's the way things go in football, it's unpredictable and you never know what's round the corner and the manager (unless it was Hollowhead ) has little or no bearing on my decision. Withdrawing financial support over dissatisfaction with the manager, or style of play, is an individual's choice of course but for me that would be akin to cutting off my nose to spite my face. We don't know what's going to happen with the manager, transfers in and out, or whether our best player will break his leg on the first day of the season, that's part of the fascination and why paying up front to support our club is a unique gesture of faith and loyalty. Whatever the temporary dissatisfactions of any individual fan with the club it should never be forgotten that the club relies on our support and without bedrock ST financial input and attendance there would be no BCFC. If you're a season ticket holder and can afford it, that means you, and me. When all's said and done I support Bristol City F.C., whatever division, whoever the manager is, ( bar Skeletor) no question - and that's MY seat.

BS3_RED Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 Not renewing unless we have a new manager next season. I'll probably be the same. I have really lost the love for it the last two season. It had nothing to do with league position and all to do with the boring football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frenchay Red Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 Just forked out for another season of roller-coaster results and performances! Got to be worth it, what else would I have to moan about so much and so often if I didn't support BCFC! And there's always the slight chance we might do well!
