At 61, my life is very much geared to a happy/successful retirement... Marriage and hobbies in particular, but also health, social life, family etc. 
The problem for me lies solely on the financial side.  All the above can only continue with my current income (and a bit of savings), so I really don't envisage retiring any time soon!
(House is basic at best, but has been long paid for, and tidy enough, so we have that security at least, I guess.)

I was always very blasé about private pensions etc... In truth, with my family history/genes, I truly didn't expect to be here this long!  (Both mum & dad failed to reach their 50's!).  Just my luck I'm as fit as a fiddle!  🤣
 
Hey.  I'm very much a "Take each day as it comes/what will be will be" kind o' guy, and that ain't gonna change now, so I'll plod on, and see what happens.  
 
Best of luck to all of you who have retired recently and/or are about to. 
I won't call you lucky, as I'm sure you've earned it, but I won't deny there's a teeny bit of envy/regret creeping in now I'm almost "at that age"! (But only on this subject... no regrets elsewhere!) 
Enjoy... yer owd buggers!  😁🍻

What a poor response.
 
 
 
... some of us have been here all week!  🤣

Oh, I hear you buddy.  And all fair points.  👍
Like I say, my day one renewal (this year) came about purely due to circumstances, and had there been any first day teething problems, I'd have just took a step back until it was sorted.
TBH, I don't think I ever renewed online until covid.  I was always a big advocate for sorting it face to face in the ticket office before then, and wasn't particularly comfortable doing it on line.  Same with individual match tickets (for family glory hunters, or for the odd away games/play offs for myself), but that's an easy option for me, as I pass it at least 10 times a week anyway... actually make that effectively at least 5 times, as I don't think they're open when I pass at 06:50 every morning!  😁

Good point well made sir.
Reeks of a mobocracy to me!  There's probably a meeting going on right now... underneath Friargate somewhere, I'd wager... along with the other rats!  

I’m not sure it’s that spontaneous given some people are already declaring their intent.

The way I see it, why rush to do it on the first day or two when there might well be teething problems and why leave it until the last day or two when you might forget, encounter technical problems or have another unexpected commitment that means you might not have time?

The club are not asking... they are telling... don't do it.
The law says... don't do it.
"The best way to gain promotion is by the Play-Offs" is oft-written... do they invade the pitch at Wembley?
Hysterically approaching a player who has yet to make himself safe by dashing down the tunnel, just to "Plant a big fat kiss" could (understandably) be misconstrued as a potential attack/assault.  Remember, there will be confusion, concern, and uncertainty from some quarters.
All it takes... literally... is one jubilant fan being tripped/nudged/held back by a viz'd up official whose sole job/instruction is to attempt to fend off a pitch invasion for the mood to change.  Just one defensive/evasive swing of the arm can be caught on the numerous cameras, and have you stood in the dock before you can say "I wish I'd listened to Uncle Mucker"!

Der!  "Semi" means half.
For every pound he bets, he wins half of it back!
Simples!  

Please tell me you didn't pay £80,000,000 for it! 😲 

Throw it away!

not off the leash but I would say the stewards should be strict after 10 minutes of getting people off. 

Will this include police dogs off the leash, and half a dozen batons?
Can I change my vote?
 

Well in my opinion thats a very selfish view.dosnt matter about the thousands in the stands then who have spent thousands over the years for season tickets.

No.  I've only watched live RamsTV when Mel lobbed it in as a freebie during covid.
... But to help you out though, I have been done for breach of the peace (aka football hooliganism) many years ago (1981? v Watford) and have racked up 9 speeding points, albeit not all at the same time, so I'm clearly no saint. Why, I even have a French speeding fine on record... and even an eviction from a Sheffield football stadium, due to my half time behaviour in their toilets (True story, bro!)
I've even had a WPC approach me at the back of the away terrace at Stamford Bridge to ask me to refrain from exposing my genitalia out of the bottom of my shorts... but that's such a long and boring story and not at all embarrassing*, so I won't bore you all with the details!

Would you prefer I backed out of the debate, now my past misdemeanours have been publicly aired and shamed me for eternity?  Or can I crack on wumming this thread, as it's my all time favourite to date!  🤷‍♂️
 
 
 
*Not embarrassing for me, but it clearly was for the WPC, who had obviously drew the short straw, as her 3 male colleagues looked on in raptures!  Poor lass!  
 

My grandson is 6 and wants to see the team walk round waving his flag. Is he a minority then.

Seeing as I'm not planning on going on the pitch, I'm thinking of letting a couple of flares off in the NE corner.  Oh, and drinking straight from my celebratory bottle of sherry whilst in full view of the pitch, of course.
Afterall, it's no more "against the rules" than a pitch invasion, and we're clearly not fussed what David Clowes and his goody two shoes management/staff think... let alone the law... sod it.  Let's do it!
I might even eff 'n Jeff my way through the whole game too, and bugger those kiddies over the other side of the stairs.  Let's face it, we're all different, when it comes to how we roll when celebrating.
 
We'll all be avin' a riot, we'll all be avin' a riot, we'll all be avin' a riot, when Derby County rise!  👀
 
 

Just that older people and small kids like to see their team walk round, and they cant get on the pitch.

Not quite a flag.
 

Still got mine simply because it's a Derby scarf (and hasn't got "with compliments from Mel" on it 😀)

So I hear the new James Bond is out.  All PC as expected. 🙄
Starts off as man, but by the end, "They" identify as a woman!  FFS, Whatever next! 🤐
Anyway... Cocktopussy is out 1st June... 

Word on the street is...
