Love David Squires. Here's a take on Rooney and DCFC

Supporters are aware that the club is very much up for sale, but what is the plan for the next few years should a takeover not come to fruition?

I would like to submit this non football related question, but one that I feel on a human level should be asked.
Mel, how are you and how is your health?

It's difficult to get an accurate reflection from this forum on when people stop buying a season ticket. We are by definition on here a somewhat self selecting group who are bothered enough to spend our time on a DCFC forum. I would therefore expect a higher proportion of more emotionally invested fans...and consequently a higher level of loyalty to keep buying.
Nearly all teams see a decline in tickets sold as they decline down the leagues. If for example Derby get relegated to League 1 how many seasons tickets would they sell. £15k? Clearly 5-10k less than the recent play off chasing seasons.
Taking COVID out of the equation If that were the case then in normal circumstances  around 20%-25% of season tickets holders would stop buying just because of lower level football.

The premier league spends billions with abandon yet the leagues aspiring to join this ‘elite’ are kept in their place, ensuring a gulf in quality exists between the two. 
 
It’s not Football Fair Play. It’s cronyism protecting the top teams.

Or better still, working out how to ease the financial woes of the 70 odd clubs teetering on the edge of extinction due to Covid restrictions. As it is, they'll simply end up spending another £2 million fighting a case they can't win before passing the bill for their stupidity to the very clubs who are struggling to survive.
Let's be honest here; we're talking about a body who seem far more keen on protecting the interests of Premier League teams than those they purport to serve. They have been seen to be wholly unfit purpose in every regard for a period of years now and the sooner they are put out to pasture, once and for all, the better for all concerned. 
 

With @Davidposting his thread earlier, thought I’d bump this. Some of you might be uncomfortable with revealing any issues you are experiencing. 
 
it was roughly this time of year when i started this thread. 
 
Two massive things that I have learned since;
1- being aware something isn’t right is admitting to yourself, you’re on the path to feeling better.
2- however bad you’re feeling, you’re definitely not the only one feeling that way. 
 
Ive been told by many posters that just reading this thread gave them hope and help. 
 
take care
