How are we feeling about renewals

Personally, I just couldn’t not renew. I love it. Even though I agree with the VAR related arguments, I’ll just hope that it eventually gets sorted to a reasonable level.
 
I will renew our two but I have to say that I haven't enjoyed this season much. A 450 mile round trip gets a bit wearing when you feel that there isn't a level playing field.
I guess in general I am falling out of love with the game. It is the constant drip, drip of corruption, VAR, dodgy referees and decisions, media vitriol against us and sycophancy towards our main rivals, bias against us in the CL, racism towards our owners etc etc.

It takes a special love/lunacy to pay £thousands every season to subject yourself to that but I guess there are also rewards........
 
I'd guess that the majority of ST holders at all clubs call it a day at some point. There can't be too many who start with an ST in their teens and carry on for 50+ years.
People have loads of different reasons for calling it quits after X number of years. I'm not sure something new or specific is happening at City that needs an explanation.
 
Hoping to hear about a job in the next few weeks, then all should be fine, but otherwise my 60 years will be up and I will be out and sad, Merlin going is gonna kill me, and to be honest var is turning me into a right nasty bastard.
 
I’ve been a season ticket holder since around the millennium and I can’t imagine not being one this summer.

Those that do, right in the middle of City’s most successful period ever, will regret it.

I think they will sort VAR next season. I'll never stop going to City. It's a life sentence with no parole. To much emotion invested now to jack it in. I love drinking in the Northen Quarter and matchdays make the winter bearable in this country.

Love the phrase "Life sentence without parole". Fuck me,even murderers get let out after 20 years. I have been doing my time for 54 years in March.

Agree - us older blues have been through far worse periods in the past - that’s not to say everything is perfect with the club or the game in general atm - but fans should support their club through all the ups and downs imo and I don’t ever consider not renewing - but of course everyone’s personal circumstances will have an influence too

Ambivalent about renewing SC. Mainly due to the farce and corruption of VAR. Also not happy that longstanding blues are increasingly taken for granted year on year in stumping up hard earned cash with price increases with all but one price freeze since the takeover.

The club say they want and need us yet we have been made to feel like pawns on a chessboard as the club clearly think more of corporate and new fans. Not the same club nowadays. Only two things remain from Maine road, our sky blue shirt colour and us supporters that remember the good times bad times and present good times.

Don't get me wrong, I'm as proud a blue as anyone and I will never divorce City. I love most of what has happened since the takeover.

Personally speaking though I feel as my support of almost 50 years like it means less to the club than the club means to me. Corporate and padded heated seats, where if you try and get up to try spark a song going, and you feel as though you're frowned upon and looked at in disdain for breaching the football peace!

Perhaps I should just stop going and stop moaning. But City passion is within every pore of my skin.

Difficult decision is looming for me.

When you walked through puddles in the Kippax car park, queued 100 yards to get into a decrepit old stand, when you stood on a terrace with one inch high steps, straining for a view ,or sat in the gene Kelly stand, getting piss wet through, did you really feel that the club loved you. When Peter Swales was stealing thousands of quid, and running the club into the ground , did you feel the club loved you?

I really feel some people have choosy memories, about the good old days. We are watching an incredible set of players, managed by a genius. People should be enjoying this, when pep goes, we may well not be the same team, plenty of time then for the moaners.
Its everyone's choice if they go or don't, but to to constantly criticise the club over the smallest issues is wrong. Please don't think this is a personal attack, It isnt ,it's just my thoughts and feelings. You must choose what is right for you.

I think most of the posters who might not be renewing have cited VAR, cost and late kick off as factors that are influencing them. VAR and late kick off times are modern day problems so they aren’t claiming the grass was always greener in the past.

I agree that ticket prices have never been cheap if you are skint. It depends on people’s circumstances. I agree that the Club is much better run than under the Swales regime, and Franny the Messiah for that better. That said, I have just read Mike Doyle’s autobiography and Swales was popular with the players during the 70s.

Fine.

Watching the best team we might ever see regaining their trophy will be extremely satisfying.

Spot on. Perfect reply to another miserable bluemooner posting negative comments. We have right now one of the best football teams in the world to support. Once our defence is sorted in the summer next season should be a brilliant one.
