CheddarReds Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 Yep. Take 'em to a real game. We took my mates 8yr old to a game last season and sat in B Block Dolman. He loved it and has been regularly since. Hooked ! My first game was at 7 or 8 as well! It was the most recent L1 promotion season. We beat Gillingham 3-1! Has the kiddy got a season ticket this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportingmad0209 Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 Mum and I have both renewed. Considering getting a ticket for 6 year old. Will wait till after Backwell match to see if he likes it! Backwell will be rammed. 800 tickets sold, and it is mostly standing. You don't want to put him (or her) off at his (or hers) first match.

Steve Watts Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 renewed yesterday morning and had a weird feeling of optimism wash over me.... Didn't know what caused it and didn't like it....was trying to stay grounded and realistic this year!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith_Lemon Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 Nay for me. Gone 10 years straight with a ST. Things on and off the pitch have been so bad in the last few years I am staying away. Funny how after 4 signings so far a lot of people have changed their mind about getting a season ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea funny that, you would have thought staying with exactly the same squad that saw us relegated would have encouraged people to renew.

Show Me The Money! Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 Planning on hanging up my footy boots and getting my first season ticket this season. Hanging on till the 1st July though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wanted my money to stay in my bank account until the last minute given that there was no incentive to renew earlier than 1st July. Still think they dropped a ricket on that one. Think an earlybird incentive, particularly for renewals, to grab people in and in early this year would have seen more people sign up early and encourage others to do the same.

Not saying it's going to happen again but it's no guarantee Yea funny that, you would have thought staying with exactly the same squad that saw us relegated would have encouraged people to renew. SOD is building a young, hungry and talented squad, I'll be renewing with a number of others this week. COYR Totally agree, I hope it is young, hungry and full of talent. But we have not seen these guys play yet. Lets wait until we see pre-season and the first ten games. Have they? Genuine question, it would be interesting to know if anybody has. (I'll start a poll!) I've got mine but I always intended to, the same goes for the 10 or so people I sit with. i'm sure I read in the last few months how fans are going to stay away next month as they are being served the same old shit each week.

No I didn't, I was a lot more optimistic when he was brought in and with him signing a player of The year an experienced prem right back and the current England goalkeeper we had every right to but in hindsight it set the club back as badly as pulis The old board made plenty of promises but didn't keep them This board appear to be sticking to the new philosophy it's taking time but I'm generally looking forward to the future again Still a lot to do, i will be interested in the accounts next season (that's when we will see the full extent of the cost savings) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you cannot see the substantial changes taking place in how the club is run in terms of management and recruitment of players and the difference SOD made to a very poor squad then it 's your loss.But thankfully you seem to be in the minority.

Guest Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 Got mine. Once city's in the blood you aint getting rid of it. This is exactly my position. My Dad, his Dad, were City through and through, so I became City as a natural progression, unless you can't afford it, why wouldn't you go to watch YOUR TEAM? The division we are in doesn't matter to me, I've enjoyed some great times watching City as a boy, teenager, adult, father and now grandfather. I've also wished at times that My Dad had never taken me to Ashton Gate.....but not for long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
