fatchers Posted April 18, 2022 Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 I have renewed but I too have moved from the Lansdown back to where it all started over 50 years ago in the East end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offside Posted April 18, 2022 Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 Yep, I’ve renewed mine and the kids’ season tickets. The last couple of seasons have been tough and I’m worried about what’s in store for us next season, but the kids (growing up fast, both are teenagers now, and have been watching City since they were about 4) have been more committed to going to games than ever, so I’m making the most of going to AG with them before they want to go with their friends/find other things to do. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Robbored Posted April 18, 2022 Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 I renewed as I do every season but as I’m moving stands I have to wait until midday on 1st May to claim the seat I’m after. Its next to my buddy but all season no one has sat there at all so hopefully it won’t get renewed and I can have it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoons Posted April 18, 2022 Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 Not renewing after having a ticket Since 1989 season. It has felt like a chaw coming to the gate in recent seasons, covid lockdowns has also put a lot of things into perspective for me. I’ve given so much of my time to BCFC and I’ve loved it but i will pick and choose games next season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. I can understand that mate, I don’t think I would bother as much if I was as remote as you. It’s bad enough for me but I can do a 6 hour match day from here which isn’t too bad.

It would be for me but the last train from Exeter to Okehampton leaves at 6pm! No good for night games either obviously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Cross Country trains are pretty awful and they’ve stopped a few services and don’t stop at Teignmouth anymore, so have to change in Exeter. But I can get the 17.45 back on 3 o’clock kick offs, get in at 19.20. If I drive I get back about 18.40. Night games are drive only but I can get back from the Park & Ride in 1 hour 20 minutes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldstandrobin Posted April 18, 2022 Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 Not renewing. Heart just not in it after 60 plus years. Perhaps I may regret it. Will always follow City but just a chore going to the Gate, parking,etc then watching overpaid players under perform and constant garbage from the mouths of owners who are so transparent when things not going so well. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only if you go to 16 games or more, else it’s cheaper to get a membership and POTD. In fact with about 3 mates rates games it’s probably more than 16. With work, illness, holiday’s, weddings and in some of our cases like today, transport issues, the games missed can soon add up. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But people won't pay to watch counter attacking football at home and that influences buying decisions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beni71 Posted April 18, 2022 Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 Renewed for me and the kids again. Using a football cliché, we are in transition as a club and recovering from Ashton. This season hasn’t been brilliant but better than the previous two seasons and also better than the division 4 days, which were tough times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bard Posted April 18, 2022 Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 I've renewed because I live so close I don't know what on earth I'd do when there was a game on. Also, I understand that 3 seasons with Pearson in charge of the club will reap rewards and we will become a challenger. We're all focusing on who we sell and buy but the key is the improvement we should see in a lot of players who have been playing their first proper championship football this year. If they can progress into proven Championship players we'll be in a much better position. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Northski Posted April 18, 2022 Report Share Posted April 18, 2022 City have released and sold a whole group of supporters season ticket seats in the SS unbeknown to the ST holders. Group has apparently been sitting together for nearly 20 years. Believed to be about 15 fans, although this may be just one of a number of groups effected.

Rob k Posted April 19, 2022 Report Share Posted April 19, 2022 I renewed my ST for me and my daughter on the basis it’s probably still cheaper to have one and only attend half the games than paying on the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red white and red Posted April 19, 2022 Report Share Posted April 19, 2022 No ST for me. I’ve been going since ‘97 and need a break. The match day experience is awful, it’s far too expensive and I’m finding it pretty boring these days. Also, I’m not a fan of the Lansdown Bristol sport franchise cosy family easy life feel of the club. UTC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedorDead BCFC Posted April 19, 2022 Report Share Posted April 19, 2022 I’ve renewed after a year of Covid restrictions followed by a year having medical procedures meaning having to isolate for cortisone injections. Then also getting Covid that meant the final op going back 3 months. I’m itching to start going again properly. Some of the relatives are gutted I’m fit going back next season as they’ve been using my ST this year. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
