    Lets presume we finish mid table , which is looking like the likely outcome

    Lets presume Beavis and Butt head AKA ( Rupp and Sparks ) are still here

    Lets presume season tickets are still the same price

    Will you be renewing your season ticket

    Ive kept the Poll simple because there are lots of possible answers like retaining seats , habit etc

    I'd normally say yes, even though my lad is away at uni I still enjoy the chat with the folks I sit near. But with these two in charge I genuinely dont know. There is no enthusiasm from the owner and that filters down to the terraces.

    My enthusiasm is at an all time low, but I would probably renew just to keep my seat and be able to sit with the group that I have come to call friends over the last 24 years of sitting there. The number of games I attend will potentially reduce, as it is I am on track to attend the least number of games I ever have.

    It doesn't take much to distract me away from going at the moment.

    It's a not sure for me
    Seem to have a lot more interest than the owner and more idea than the CEO to progress the club on field
    So things would have to change for me to be a definite
    See how this season pans out on and off the pitch

    I’m sure most regulars who’ve been going for years will renew. If you renewed when we had Jacko as manager, had just lost 5-1 at home to Crewe last match of season and had Mark Lawn threatening to take us to Odsal then having a bloated squad and underachieving isn’t going to put them off.

    My wife and I will definitely renew.
    But more out of loyalty than anything else.
    City is our team and it’s what we both enjoy(ha ha) doing together on a match day.

    As with lots of fans I suspect that we may be having this exact same discussion in 12/18 months time as I
    cant see any massive changes off the field.
    Sparks isn’t getting sacked as he’s doing exactly what Rupp is asking him to do and unless a bigger offer comes along ( possible but unlikely) he’s not leaving of his own volition.

    All we can hope is that this manager is the one who gives us what we all hope for.

    Unfortunately we’ve also hoped that on numerous previous occasions.

    Same feelings here, shame because the fans commitment cannot be questioned. Backed the club in huge numbers but this not reciprocated unfortunately.

    Yep. As others have said, been coming for far too long to call it a day now.

    However if there are blizzards over the Pennines, for a Tuesday night game in February, l won’t make an extra effort.

    I’ve bought a season ticket every year for 30 years this is the first time I’m undecided.

    I’ve bought STs even when we’re have struggled but I’ve not always gone, I chose to do that as I know not buying one no matter how small the impact still has an impact.

    with previous owners and CEOs we knew where we stood but the current set up promises lots and delivers nowt they give us sound bites and promises that look empty almost immediately. I think this spin and fake news coming out has just started to piss ppl off and I for one don’t have the same motivation to continue to buy something with any return

    I’m a fan but I’m not stupid #ruppout #sparkesout

    I want to take my daughter next year as she's turning 7 so about time. My dad says I should wait till we are winning regularly and doing well so that she gets hooked on the feel good atmosphere and doesn't get put off. On that basis she's not going to set foot inside VP until around the 53/54 season.

    Waiting to see what GA is going to serve us for the rest of the season,

    Cannot be sacking him off too soon but need to see some deviation from HugheszzzzzBall and AdamszzzzBall to keep an interest in this wonderful club

    It's only a club, and Stefan Rupp, is City's owner and don't give a f***.

    Honestly, not sure.

    My wife was joking the other day that if there was ever a time to get me to commit to moving to another part of the country, it would be when City are in this abysmal state.

    When my best friend could no longer go who I went home and away with all over the country I was genuinely gutted, for a number of reasons. But then a guy I know who was probably more of acquaintance at the time but is now a good friend, and those I sit near are like a community with all different characters. I realised probably then more than ever that football is more than just the 90 minutes and the clowns that run the club. It was a life saver at the time. Then when you see what Norwich put out on mental health day really reinforced it for me, despite it being a different club all together.

    So yes I’ll be there, but I won’t stop criticising those at the top failing us despite what one or two think.

    Ill probably reluctantly renew and then try and find an excuse every week not to go, like has often been the case in L2.

    if boycotts are organised though, I won’t renew mine or the three kids tickets.

    Solidarity is the only way to make such things work, not fans undermining it.
