ST Renewal

Quoted from rancido

You're not guilty of seeing things through black and white specs - you are a town fan through good and bad.
I'll be getting my ST and will continue to do until I'm too old to get to BP ( although I'm 71 now , so it may not be too long !! )

Cheers Rancido

I'll no doubt renew mine come July's deadline... I always usually pay out as late as I can as I convince myself it's the best way to make use of my money and to see Town get some benefit of upfront payment

As for your age, you're a youngster in some folks eyes.... until a couple of seasons ago there was a guy called Arthur who came week in week out to take his place in the Pontoon near us and he was in his 90s

You imagine the ups and then downs he'd witnessed since his first games when Town were Division One.

Sadly he passed on a year or two back but he kept the faith with the club. Truly a GTID!!

I was one of them and would have bought

What muppets red-crossed this?

Quoted from Meza

If I didn't work away a lot I would buy a season ticket despite town not having a great season.  Things like bad results etc would not deter me from going to matches.  I don't get the argument of not buying a season ticket if you are able to and can afford to just because of some poor results and league standing.  Maybe I'm one of these town fans that will always want town to do well despite poor runs which I'm sure most of us do and I'd still turn up at BP.

Oh don't get me wrong I do have a moan when town do crap but not to the point that it would deter me from buying a ST.  But if that's your perogative then fine.  

When you have a ST and due to the fayre on offer you decide not to bother going for quite a few games plus the ones you miss not through choice it suddenly becomes very expensive . On a tues night when pishing down like Tranmere I would more than likely have swerved that game if I had to pay on the day but cos of ST I went got soaked and watched the best game for years. The team gave everything I want to see and I would not have missed a game had I known the same effort and application was going to be applied.The Cambridge game was the exact opposite and nothing they have done since suggests they are at the top of their game collectively. I hope they go out and stuff Morecambe on Saturday and get that mojo back for the remainder of the Season for the remaining supporters who are still steadfast behind them and those who`s support has waned. A strange Season this one it`s had highs and lows throughout but all the enthusiasm around the time of the Palace game seems to have evaporated.

Wycombe pulled 5.5k for a Tuesday night home game against Charlton this week despite losing 8 of the last 9 games. Admittedly there were probably a thousand Charlton but they put a deal on "last five for fifty". Bit of clever marketing goes a long way

Clever Marketing it will never catch on in NE lincs

Let’s hope their fans don’t raise over £100,000-00 for their playing budget. It could be the worst thing that’s ever happened to the club

Unfortunately cutting prices isn't clever marketing in reality. A season full of special offers could affect season ticket take up in following seasons. 1434 Charlton at Wycombe so the promotion did nothing to attract more than the average home attendance. Our problems won't be solved easily under present circumstances. We're just in a holding pattern of waiting out for new investment, waiting out for a new stadium and waiting out for a team that can entertain and put bums on seats. How much damage has been done long term by our inconspicuous and boring return to the Football League, god only knows. And the lack of new investment in cash and ideas is slowly suffocating our club to death and we're still probably going to look more nervously downwards than hopefully upwards until there's radical change. It's not a criticism, more of an absolute undeniable fact that the current set up has a ceiling of 14th in League Two and this needs sorting quickly. Same was said a couple of years ago, we're saying the same now and we could be saying the same thing in a couple of years time. Everyone waiting day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year for the big announcement that never comes that would breathe new life and hope into the club and town.

The GTFC product is way beyond being saved by cut-price this and cut-price that. Too old and tired for the public to respect our club anymore. The only thing that will make a difference to it all will be wholesale change, not price cutting to get fans through the gates when diehard season ticket holders are turning their noses up having already paid and still can't give their ticket away. The custodians of our club have got a far bigger responsibility than probably adding 10% to MJ's already meagre budget and coming out with banal straplines of "pack the park" or "beat the boro". Proper change needs to happen, because whoever our manager is, in our present guise we'll always be pushing against the tide and punching under our potential weight..

This, the sheer apathy around the Town regarding GTFC at present is pitiful yet it was only 4 Months ago everyone wanted to go to Palace to back this team and Manager. One of my biggest concerns with the GTFC fanbase is the age I bet only a very small % of the average gate is under the age of 40 and give it another 10 year`s of mediocrity at best our average gate will continue to shrink.
