Thinking ahead. Supposing we do survive, do we envisage a rise in price and if even if we do slip out of the league, a lesser rise?
And how will sales be affected by this dismal season ?

I don't fancy turning up to find halfway though the season that work has started on my mews cottage on the proposed Mill House gated community, ..... despite council promises.

Even if we do survive, what changes for next season? Carson and Thomas will be sold and we will probably be dead and buried by Christmas.

That's the point I'm making.... Will season ticket buyers become a cash cow to be milked a bit more and to what purpose ? Will it be spent on the team?
I don't book a holiday months in advance on a island with a rumbling volcano.

ALLEDGEDLY Goldberg ran off with this seasons ST money.
Nothing stopping it from happening again with transfer money or even a parachute payment money.
Canny little earner if you got big bollocks and no shame.

Can see there being a massive ST boycott.
The odd pay on the day games for me.

Why would anyone give this man money in advance next season?

WHY?

Anybody handing over season ticket money to this regime must have money to waste. They have been a disaster from day one. season ticket money, naming right money all gone and a massive debt run up by november. They should not be running a corner shop, let alone a football club with 100 years of history.

Whatever happens this season, not renewing my season ticket, would rather pay as and when I attend.

Rather than throwing money at a season ticket, buy yourself something that will actually contribute to the club's future: Trust Membership.

Well some of us will always go whoever is in charge. OK we may be mad but that's the way football fans are.Look how Darlington fans have stuck by them.yes they are a trust but they would still have been there whoever runs the club.

I think you're missing the point.

Its my last time as a season ticket holder, assuming we survive financially I will not be giving my money to this regime. I forsee us having to start again as these clowns are not equipped to run the club efficiently, effectively or successfully. The multiple winding up orders are all the evidence we need.

I think this is a really tricky one.

I love football. I love watching Pools. I love everything about it. I live in hope of better times/performances. You really never know what's going to happen on any given Saturday. I turn up with unrealistic hopes of this being the start of a highly unlikely winning run. You have no idea whether it will be the best or worst game you've ever seen. I never leave early for the same reasons because the day you leave early is the day we score 3 in 3 minutes and win 3-2.

Of course I can see the bigger picture. That's why I swerved all the LDV Vans shit this season and had we got to Wembley I genuinely wouldn't have gone. With most clubs taking a similar stance, the organisers have got the message loud and clear and hopefully there will be a significant change for the better next season.

It's just so very hard to abandon doing something that is inbuilt and that's what wanker owners play on of course. If I didn't get the money off a season ticket gives me it would be harder for me to attend. Or rather, I would have to go to fewer games. If there was something to work towards that could work, I'd be right behind it but I can't think of a way to get rid of a shit owner without shafting the club financially.

Admittedly Coxall appears to be shafting the club financially anyway, but you get my point

Of course we got 4000 plus in the glory days all clubs have increased attendances when they are doing well that's just typical of football. I still remember that 1800 or so and the regular 2000 plus crowds. Every body knows the glimmer of hope and they come back generally to be disappointed.

There's two strands of why I can't see me me renewing my season ticket.
I want to know my money is going to be spent on the team/ club. I have no faith it will.
I expect more of the same old stuff and I don't know how long this can carry on because this is unsustainable.
Sadly, the 'faithful' would still be shelling out money as the club collapsed into a sinkhole and they were falling into it.

If I get a season ticket next season I will consider buying it on a credit card, that way if the club goes tits up before end of that season, I will go to card provider for a refund, under section 75 of consumer credit act.
