Did you renew?

[frechyblade]

Following on from the thread about season tickets, lets see if we can get a represenative figure as to how many of us had a season ticket last year and either renewed or didn't.

 

[BV]

Moved away from Sheffield a couple of years ago and kept my ticket last year but only made it back for three or four games. Didn't renew this year but only due to geography.

 

[sheffielder]

Can you add another choice? We renewed but moved from South Stand to kop as there was no way we were paying extra after last year!

 

[Railway Blade]

I renewed but my two sons didnt so net -2 loss even though I have polled option 1

 

[RichJay]

I didn't have a season ticket last year but I will probably buy a flexiticket this year

 

[Guesty]

Yes I renewed, but more than that, for the first time it was actually me who paid for it!

 

[LouTheBlade]

I voted "renewed" which we did technically, but we actually bought new ones and moved.

 

[spadge]

renewed but out of the 14 last year only 3 have so... do the maths lol

 

[happyhippy]

Had a season ticket for over twenty years (apart from when I worked there for a bit as a student - didn't need one then ), and haven't renewed.

 

[AlienWoodward]

I am a strong man of principle. I said I wouldn't renew this season especially if Blackwell was still in charge.
But hey everyone can change their mind can't they

 

[H. Metal Blade]

Well i haven't missed a home game for nigh on 9 seasons now but this year i wont be there for any! I not really sure if this is a bad thing as i'm wholly pessimistic about our chances of anything this year! If i'm totally honest i reckon the rot is in and we'll start slipping now. We've had a shining period (for us anyway!).

...bah humbug!

 

[marshy]

Said at the end of last season I wouldn't be renewing after the complete lack of entertainment and I've stuck by it. I'll go to some games, but if there isn't a marked improvement, then it won't be many.

 

[Zlatan]

Had one last season and have renewed.

 

[tyneblade]

25 years after moving to Newcastle I've had enough of travelling on Tuesdays so I haven't renewed. Thinking about the six game ticket though.

 

[JohnDenver]

Of course I've renewed. Long is the way, and hard, that out of hell leads up to light.

 

[thorpe hesley]

Not renewed this season cos out of 23 home fixtures I'm working for 14 of them and I only get 19 Annual Leave days a year. I'm a signalman in a 24/7 signalbox. Last year cost me 9 days leave.

 

[BornOnShorehamStreet]

Renewed - becoming eligible for a senior concession rate helped

 

[dingledog]

While ever I can afford it or am physically able too get there I will renew, once a blade always a blade. Of corse this is a counter intuitive argument to me believing I am an educated rational person. But an addiction is an addiction.

 

[cjx blade]

Me and my 12 and 9 year old lads have renewed, I couldn't imagine Saturday without going to the match when the seasons on. I'm optimistic about the season but then again I always am, I remember booking our holiday to eurodisney just as the season started two years ago and making sure we would be back for wembley( just in case ). I'm getting the same feeling this year. And yes I know it will all end in tears.

 

[bricktop]

I've renewed, and there was never any question that i wouldn't. Been a regular at Bramall Lane for more years than i can remember, and will be for a good few more seasons to come, despite missing a handful of matches every year due to work.

This year might be good for my attendance as i'm gonna be starting a 9 month, Mon-Fri Training Course at work in September.

 

[Ivanhoe]

Me and my son have renewed again. Here's hoping for some free-flowing attacking carpet football. I do the lottery every week too, not won a carrot on there either..(YET!!)

 

[Gazza1984]

I renewed and had a season ticket last year but a lot of people I know have not bothered this time around

 

[bottletree]

Had a season ticket for 8 years, but last season was it for me. I went to 1 of the last 5 matches i was that bored with it. I spent the season ticket money on a fridge freezer. Bastard things already broke down. I'm blamin Blades for that.

 

[Maidenhead]

Renewed - becoming eligible for a senior concession rate helped

See you in the Rutland old feller

 

[Jostein Flo]

Purchased a season ticket this season after not having one for a few seasons (didn't renew in 08/09 to save money for wedding). Feeling optimistic, last time I got a season ticket after missing a few years we got promoted!

 

[TAMUS]

Come wind rain sleet or snow , family tradition says i have to go , its in my blood and i dont care if the Blades are playing i will be there . [old Brummie song ]

 

[SheepdipBlade]

Quit my job in April and starting up on my own. Cash too tight to justify a full season ticket but can stretch to a flexi for now.

 

[dansufc]

had one last year, but haven't renewed, only reason being, I work quite a few Saturdays, so wouldn't get value for money

 

[alcoblade]

Me and 5 family members have renewed. All the mates have renewed. One miserable bastard in the pub hasn't - he's the only one I know.

UTB

 

[torridon]

After much ummin and arrring and convincing myself that i couldn't afford it, i decided not to renew. Then me and my dad got talking about the Blades, and i rubbed it on thick that i was gutted i couldn't afford a ticket this year, then pops offered to put up the money and for me to pay it back over 12 months. How could i refuse!! Good old Dad!! :thumbup:
