I think VAR more than the virus has made me think about not renewing.
Last year was shite with it whilst the guy at home with his feet up knows what's going on before me.

I won't be renewing mine or my boy's.
Financial circumstances will dictate that for many in the post-Covid era.
Messi arriving would obviously play in a lot of minds, but unless he is also offering to pay for people who can no longer afford to go, there will be plenty of fans, young and old, prioritising their cash.
I won't be lost, but will become a City card holder and go with my lad as and when I can afford to or a game that can't be missed.
I quite like the idea of going again because I want to, rather than feeling obligated because you have paid for a season-ticket.
No more shitty kick-off times to be dictated by.

Sacked mine off after the Spurs game. Until they bin VAR and stop awarding penalties for every little touch in the box, I won't be rejoining any time soon.

At this moment I'd not be renewing for various reasons but not a money issue.
It's just too bent and obviously as a mid to late 50's guy not safe now.
How I'll feel come June/July, who knows, I've been teetering the last 2 renewals.

Heard that for LIverpool's next home game only 6,000 applied for tickets. Of course in their case could also be the affect of international travel.
Whilst Covid will be a valid reason behind this, footballing bodies also should not be hiding behind that fact to ignore that VAR has had a big effect also, as has the fact that quality levels have dropped due to inadequate preperation time and pointless international friendlies.
Be interesting to see the effects, surely reducing prices to encourage higher attendances has to be on the agenda. It could go either way, if they maintain prices then lower earning but more traditional match goers may lose out, and stepping into that void will be, I would argue, less passionate and hospitality supporters.
My fear would be that greed has shown itself king in the world of football time after time. For the Premier League in particular, as king of all the domestic leagues at least financially, the risks are there to lose its crown and become a much less attractive proposition for fans and investors alike. For lower and less well off leagues, the threat is their very existence.

Might just be mouthing off,but ive heard plenty at work saying the game is fucked and they cant be arsed anymore.
What people say they’ll do and what they end up doing are often two different things. I swore I wouldn’t turn on the TV for farcical games without crowds. Well, maybe our games. Well, maybe other games that seem crucial. Or potentially interesting. Or happen to be on.It seems there are a large number of fans not renewing this season. I know about 4 myself. How many fans are going to be lost? Could it run into the thousands?
