Buying a ST is a commitment and in some respects it’s your choice whether you go or not.
Very true Aldi. For me as much as I like football its not the be all and end all of everything.
Work and family commitments for one come first for me and likewise they often impinge on weekends when the football is mainly on  as Iam sure they do for others as well.


One life,one love .

Some of the posts here make my blood boil.

You should buy a season ticket if you intend to go to most if not all home games.  As a token of appreciation, the club gives you a discount that equates to a few free matches.

It appears this year that a lot of people bought season tickets because the team was on the up and there was a chance we'd get a big club in a cup competition.  You should think about the local youngsters who have yet to fall in love with the Mariners because they can't get seats with their parents.

Selfish, inconsiderate ****s.

Given the amount of money handed over to the club, quite easily by season ticket holders over the years, especially given how badly run the club has been and the lack of any investment, I’m not sure the club can moan. They’re lucky there’s season ticket holders left.

This happens at every club and it’s the right of the STH weather to turn up.

We’re hardly flipping turning anymore then a hundred away a week…

Plenty of seats in the osmond B area for people who want to sit in groups... the rest of the ground is virtually full bar a few restricted seats.

Why don't the parents get the youngsters and themselves season tickets

There a seat in the row in front of me. Showing reserved so it should be a ST but it's been empty every league game so far.


There’s one right in front of me also, in the Main Stand. Not been sat in all season.

Quite a collection of empty seats around me today.

Still, over 6000 again, which considering our home form, is good, and a massive improvement over recent times.

Maybe a few saving their pennies for Wednesday?

I know of a season ticket holder who went to a few at the start and then commitments and then serious illness meant they’ve been unable to attend since, not entirely sure they’re selfish twits.

I think this is just this years season long moan. We love something to moan about and this year it’s STH not turning up. Won’t be an issue next year when we only sell 4-5k again…

You do have to laugh at nonsense like this.
How on earth do you know the circumstances of individual ST holders?
And tbh it's no concern to you.

Some people I know pay for a season ticket and then pay 10 quid again to watch it online when they can't go. Hardly selfish.


Flippin' 'eck Tucker!
