    I wouldn't want to and don't think we will be asked to.

    It's still going to be a hard sell in the summer after this horrific season.

    The novelty of Hughes appointment will have worn off and I'm afraid a lot of fans are losing interest having suffered 5 years of decline and dross for entertainment

    That said, I would pay more if they increased. 56 years of following them is a hard habit to break for me, no matter what rubbish is served up

    If the club had a vision and a plan and we were on a promising rise up the leagues then 90% would. 5 year decline under an absent and clueless owner? No thanks

    I am hoping they continue with a roll out of a subscription based season ticket I think it’s the future people can subscribe leave and join at any time and it just comes out of the bank monthly possibly with a small increase

    Yes, it is well over time to remove this addiction to ridiculously cheap season tickets - you'd think we were paying way over the odds given the volume of references on here this season complaining that we've had a poor season despite the prices going up.

    £249 next season, £299 the one after. Maybe make one section where they are £50 cheaper.

    Crowds down to 8000? Loss of money spent in the kiosks and bars.
    Loss of marketing revenue.

    There's lots to take into account.

    You seem happy to pay £299 but that price will drive away a lot of supporters when the product on the field is so poor.

    For £299, I can pick and choose 15 home games. Where's the incentive to buy a season ticket?

    My view is I don’t mind paying extra. However I do think that it is time for Rupp to invest upfront instead of the ST money being the only money in. He is the custodian of this club and through his stewardship we have gone down and down. We are now at the point where we could lose our league status. I won’t go over old ground but we were in a good state when he took over.
    Now is the time to show the fans that he is committed to this clubs as much as the fans are. If he invests up front then he may well be able to get it back in 2/3 years. Very good appointment of the manager well done now back it up.
    You have to invest in order to make money, treading water is not an option.

    It all depends on how we end the season.

    £199 is safe - most will pay that with hughes now here.

    if they go £249, fans want to see a better quality of player signed. Not just squad filler-quality that ends up starting, like this season

    Why would we need to? The current price is fair and provides one of the biggest budgets in League 2. What would be the point?

    I always think that keeping the price to just under a £10 per match is a good policy. So content to pay up to £229 a season.

    No.

    Not base on the players we've signed.

    If the caliber of player vastly improves for next season. I might change my mind. It's not worth it at the minute.

    I've voted no as I'm not currently willing to renew.

    If they change my mind before the end of the season though I'm happy to pay more and I think it's something the club need to seriously consider if the funds will be channeled into the right areas.

    That would be a crazy thing to do. How many would have cancelled their direct debits this season?

    That’s how it works for many this season already to be honest?

    I know its history but our owners missed a massive chance after the Wembley game against Millwall, if they had reassured us the extra revenue would go to McCall for team strengthening I don't believe anyone would not have renewed.
    Unfortunately at the time we weren't aware of what that conniving t**t Rahics ulterior motives were, and they did purchase us telling us they wanted cheap football for fans.
    I'm not sure I'd want it increasing next season let's see what Stefan and Ryan have up their sleeve for Hughes in his first season.

    The point would be better players that not only excel in league 2 but can make the jump to the next league up. You are then in a better position in terms of stability and we wouldn’t have to keep doing a clear out after every season.

    Except they’ve already paid it all up front.

    So anyone who took the monthly payment option had to fulfil 12 monthly payments whether attending or not ?.
