Sheikh n Bake Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Interested to hear peoples thoughts about at what point do you decide enough is enough and you cancel your season ticket? There will always be those who say they'll fork out £500 a season because in their eyes they're the most loyal supporter...of which you're a chairman's dream! Me personally, I refuse to be served up a poo sandwich. I won't be committing my money to watch a bunch of kids turn out and get turned over week in week out if we fail to invest in the playing squad. I don't think that makes me a glory supporter... but I don't think I'll have the right to complain each week if I buy a ticket knowing that the squad is under funded and left in a state. Effectively, you know that you're getting yourself in for! What's everyone else's considerations? oldtimeram, Red_Dawn, networker1884 and 4 others 1 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont want to cancel and I'd be happy to go and watch league 1, 2 or any football as long as Derby County are playing. Imagine if Derby fail p&s by £499.99 and it's all down to you cancelling your season ticket of 500 quid ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCFC1388 Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 (edited) If i cancelled my ticket it wouldnt be because of the club it would be down to personal circumstances Edited June 30, 2021 by DCFC1388 FlyBritishMidland, LazloW, Tamworthram and 3 others 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramos Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Tbh if I was going to base my season tickets purchases on the quality of our squad - out of the 17 I’ve had Id probably only ever have gotten one ?.

Ambitious Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 As things stand we can't pay any transfer fees, as well as being restricted to what we can offer as a wage in a market where a lot of teams will be in for free transfers due to COVID.

I would say you have even greater right to complain (or should I say moan) if you’re a paying supporter. Same as @DCFC1388, I would only cancel due to personal circumstances.

kash_a_ram_a_ding_dong Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Well,I've already bought this year's by virtue of buying it last season but i spent thirty years on shifts not being able to buy one so to be honest,I'll keep on subscribing,whichever division we are in,whilst i can. I enjoy the whole experience not just the football served up. And if we go into league 1,at least they will be cheaper. minesahartington, Tamworthram and Kathcairns 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheikh n Bake Posted June 30, 2021 Author Share Posted June 30, 2021 So the majority of you would buy tickets regardless of the state of the team and ambition showed by the club? Fair play. I just wouldn't get any enjoyment knowing we're going to get turned over every week. I'd rather wait until we were in League One and could be competitive for mid table. jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you have a season ticket in the infamous 11 points season? Turned over every week but the fans were still class, plus many still renewed for the following season!

Well yeah... buying a season ticket during a premier league season isn't exactly a sign of loyalty though is it? However, buying it during a pre season where we have 10 players (?) And no sign of a takeover on sight and in the championship... That's showing loyalty. At What Point does loyalty turn to being daft? I suppose it's whatever gets you your kicks I guess. I also feel like the only way to show Mel your displeasure though with the current situation is to vote with you feet and not give him anymore of our money.

24Charlie Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Football is more than watching a game. You can do that on TV. But it’s the match day experience for me. Many a time the game is incidental but sometimes it’s all consuming. Meet your mates or go with family it’s where memories are made and if you don’t by a ticket what have you got? What else are you going to do on a cold Tuesday night in February?

Malty Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 It’s just how it is when you support your club. It’s doesn’t matter what is served to you, you still go back. Football is unique like that. I don’t live near enough to have a season ticket. But I’ll still try and go along and support my club when I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gone Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Why would you cancel your ticket? What else is there to do on a Saturday other than go to the football, for me it’s not just about the 90 mins it’s the day around it. I know next season will be bad, probably our worst since the 11 point one, but there’s no way I’m not going to the match on a Saturday. I’m loving the Euros but can’t wait to get back to the normal match day routine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIMBAUD Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 I get to spend quality time with my two daughters watching the team we love.
