Last time I had the shall I sharnt I renew of this magnitude was 1981 relegation to Div 4 - well did then and had one of the most enjoyable seasons ever - who else remembers Peterboro and Darlo away

The law of averages says we're due a good un - renewed weeks ago so UTFB

Pleased to say I got my first pensioners ST having turned 60 years young

I didn't realise a pensioners ST starts at 60 years young. Always thought it was 65. Silly me

Not long to go then :(

Don't forget the absolute will of steel it takes to NOT say what you really think:

'What do you think to these?'
'Hand on heart, couldn't give a shit. Everything looks the same and this is a complete waste of my time'

When me and the Missus end up in the same shop (I won't say "go shopping together" because that implies it's a mutually enjoyable experience), it never ceases to amaze me the number of times she asks for my preference between 2 girly things.
"Which of these 2 handbags do you prefer?"
"Neither, I'm a bloke, I couldn't give a shit about handbags".
"I hate it when you do that, you must have an opinion".
"No, no, really I don't because men really don't give a shit about that sort of stuff".
Cue huff and me saying "Well if you wanted to marry a bird then maybe you should've lezzed off with your best mate"
We're blissfully happy really :D

Oh, and I've renewed mine and my 2 boys tickets.
 
I'll not be buying a season ticket for next season, just as I haven't done for the past 3 seasons, although no doubt I'll be going to all the home games in 16/17. I'd probably buy one if they sold 'um for the BL upper corner, but they don't, however it does mean I get to flit around the ground from game-to-game - BL upper best view, Kop best atmosphere, SS best stand and John Street quickest for getting back to the car after final whistle.

Similar for me,as I'm always having to change rest days or use a holiday due to my shift pattern at work..like you say,I also go in different parts of the ground and agree about the Lane Upper being the best view...if it wasn't for the shift headache I'd buy a season ticket.
 
Yeah I did it few weeks ago I think after walsall. I had to because Im used to being at bramall lane most Saturdays what else am I going to do &;The good games do make all bad games worth it

"Helping with the shopping" is a spine chilling phrase anyway, fraught with danger and questions that there are just no good answers to like "does this make me look fat".

A brave man would answer, "No, it's yer fat that makes you look fat."

A stupid or suicidal man might also give the same answer ... ;)

Yep; renewing.

Or the crowning turd in the water tank, going to about 20 different shops, then going back to the first one for the first thing they looked at.

I prefer letting Mrs S shop alone, not wishing to be drawn into a discussion about the merit of various items of finery. On the rare occasions that I'm roped in, I have observed that, so long as there are no more than two choices, she will quickly come to a decision The problem arises where, there are multiple choices. For example, shoes. I go for a relaxing coffee where shoes are being considered. You can count on at least five minutes dithering for each pair on display
Women have no conscience, Mrs S has had the whole stock on the floor and then, either picked the first pair she tried on, ow declined the lot, returning home having not made a purchase. This option gives her the opportunity to repeat the process the following week.
If I might suggest folks, buying a season ticket for the Lane, could save you many hours of endless shopping at Meadowhell.

Quality! Nothing finer than telling a bird she should've "lezzed off". I trust that the statement is also accompanied with the internationally recognised double hand gesture for lezzing.

Only time i'll ever go shopping with a bird is for shoes. A man should always take an interest in birds shoes

Apparently that's part of the "experience". I prefer to find a shirt, buy it, try it the first time i wear it (usually within one week). If it doesn't fit it goes back in the wardrobe never to be discussed again.

An answer that is definitely a no go area, admitting that Kelly Brook has been using your face as a seat would be less damaging!

I have to pick and choose due to money / time / work but to those renewing, fair play. Lets hope we see some progress next season.

Ah yes, the multiple choice, such a joy when they don't know what they want isn't it? There have been occasion when Ms. Crab's mum has come with us. In terms of shopping style, the apple definitely doesn't fall far from the tree. Lovely woman but honest to God my will to live ebbs away from me.
 
Renewed last Saturday. What else is there to do on a Saturday afternoon???

Sorted!

GBP 283 can't argue with them prices really. I'll probably get to around half the home games due to being out of the country a lot.

The only thing i expect in return is loyalty and commitment from the players.

Yep you definitely got that this year. :eek::rolleyes:

Tragic, innit? :D We're lucky to have such deranged Dads, pal.

Edit: Thinking about it, it's probably guilt...

It was actually my uncle that started taking me to games when I was 4. But from about 13 I always asked my dad for a season ticket for my birthday present and he always obliged (he only took an interest after me and my brother were hooked). It just continued well into adulthood.
