RollsRoyce Posted March 18 Report Share Posted March 18 There will be various posts about how well season ticket sales are going, speed of take up etc etc. to make others think they are alone in not renewing. Many will renew, for a multitude of reasons, as they would even if we were heading to L1. It is a passion, habit, social , whatever. But, it would be very surprising if sales numbers were high, there will be indecision. Not helped by the tv schedule disrupting kick off times, money is tight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marmite Posted March 18 Report Share Posted March 18 Imagine going to the Hippodrome to watch an average cast act out a badly written play with a crap director. Now imagine going to watch it at least 23 times. No. Nor would I !! 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect 9-10k will renew quickly with a few thousand waiting and the rest not bothering. Two caveats, a calamitous run in and genuine relegation threat could severely reduce numbers and the opposite may persuade some who are not planning to renew take the plunge again. If I had to guess we will sell circa 13k overall if neither of the above occurs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d normally have blocked out 10:00 - 10:15 out of my calendar to get it done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Topper 123 Posted March 18 Report Share Posted March 18 Well I took the plunge as a Bristol city supporter and I’m still proud to be a Bristol city supporter in a very competitive league , probably in the top 6 in Europe,This division is a hard one to compete in due to parachute payments of yo yo teams like Burnley’s and sheff Utds if you look at league table I’m not sure if any of the btm 11 teams are still in receipt of these payments so there’s an excuse for league positions but he ho what else does one do but become depressed with their team but we live in hope and don’t forget shopping with her in doors or leave home at 11 have a few beers and shout at the red shirts 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted March 18 Report Share Posted March 18 (edited) Parachute Payment Clubs 2023-24 Leicester, Leeds, Southampton (Year 1) Norwich, Watford (Year 2) That's it. Clearly some such as West Brom will have gained an advantage from Parachute Payments in the cycle and some had better Financial numbers in the run-up to this season which enables bigger spending potential this year but we have a Top 8 Championship revenue I would suggest.

I won't be renewing for this exact reason, I will still support from afar and go to more away games. I won't be going shopping though, it's not the only option and if it's your only alternative you must have a pretty mundane life (or a bossy Mrs) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crying outrage and then lining the pockets of the perpetrators just doesn't correlate for me. People who think that they have a greater right to complain because they are a season ticket holder, in this situation is in my opinion, bonkers. They are basically turkeys voting for Christmas. It's their perogative, though. Edit: Not necessarily referring to you, as I don't know your opinion of the situation.

nickolas Posted March 18 Report Share Posted March 18 (edited) I will renew. Been going for 30+ years despite knowing better. . However, i may just hang on to nearer the deadline incase Manning gets the chop/we get relegated/BT announces Lee Johnson as the saviour with Gary Johnson as Director of Football!

JP Hampton Posted March 18 Report Share Posted March 18 7 hours ago, Merrick's Marvels said: Not having a season ticket doesn't mean you can't watch City! Yes but as my last comment said, for me it’s about supporting the team and I can’t do that sitting at home. If people don’t want to renew that’s up to them and good for them, but for various reasons I will be and that has nothing to do with the board and everything to do with the team.

Ok, well it’s still going to be the decision we make,to get an ST. If supporting the team is important to me then going to all home games is what I think that means. I did say that renewing has lots of other elements around it, who you’re sitting with for one, which you can’t guarantee when you POTD.
