    I sincerely hope it is true jowler. It's the only thing I feel that may make Coates think twice about Pulis' position.

    To be really really really boring... HIT THE BUGGER IN THE POCKET. It is the ONLY language a bookie understands

    Reading through that thread a bit more and noticing parents saying their young kids don't want to go anymore. I've read similar from others lately as well. This is another danger of what Pulis is doing to this club. He's driving away the next generation of supporters. Which is just wrong.

    Not wrong Sgt, morally reprehensible.

    Is this because loyal fans are waiting for the reduced price deadline to pass , so that they can show what true fans they are by paying the top rate in order to maximise support for our club ?
    This seems unlikely based on the feelings expressed by fans who post on here.
    So , to the fans who have not yet bought next season's ticket , what will it take to get your credit/debit card working ?

    Some suggestions : Lower price
    : Free Team Shirt
    : Free Parking
    : Free Entry into Draw for , Prizes , Cash , Meeting Favourite Player , etc.
    : Opportunity to buy future tickets at prices linked to previous season's "Goals For" Total. ( ie , lower goals scored equals lower future prices )
    : A different Manager.

    I am sure you can think of other incentives , like throwing rotten eggs at Clulis in the stocks , but will any of these move you , or has Clulis managed to kill your desire to watch our team ?

    I sat there yesterday in block 11, already laid up with the flu, freezing cold, the wind blowing in on 80 minutes with driving rain to boot after watching the best part of over a hour of garbage football from both sides. Granted West Brom played the better passing football but they had come for a point and it was a point they got.

    I thought to myself "I wonder what it must be like to watch a side week in and week out that play exciting football"

    It was cold miserable and I watched the stadium empty on 80 minutes. The rain was enough to give most fans the inclination to finally get out of their seats and go home.
    I have taken my 2 daughters and son the past few seasons all of us season ticket holders. My son does not want to go anymore as neither do my 2 daughters as the younger one got fed up of us being jeered at by away fans and having nothing to hit them back with. We rarely score now and even the really funny songs we used to come up with have all gone. No Delilah again yesterday and hardly any singing, not fun anymore.
    All you hear is fans old and young around you complaining at how bad it all is.
    Didn't renew my season ticket this year but in saying that I have only missed about 3 home games so far and I have been one away game.
    The game yesterday reminded me of Boxing day 2011 the boring 0-0 draw against Villa.

    Having a season ticket today gives me the same feeling as I have when I have to get up and got to work. I don't want to go but I know I have to.
    Going to watch a football game should be for the joy and pleasure of it and not the feeling of someone that feels like he has to go and it feels like hard work!

    Exactly Jowler as the ticket against Arsenal cost me £40 and I felt like I'd been mugged!

    Sooner we're rid of ***in the better, I don't mind some of the defensive stuff if we are at least having a go back.

    To the O.P.
    No way, I sent back my paperwork a while back to renew followed by that letter to Mr Coates. I WON'T be going back whilst that ****** is Manager.

    I don't enjoy it anymore.
    I don't get goose bumps anymore.
    I don't expect us to win any longer.
    I think some of the player's look like they can not be arsed.
    Oh and quite right Waddo it was fookin too cold and ZERO entertainment.

    Moelfre has shelled out for three season tickets. (Who knows, I may recoup some of it from family) All will now be well for another fantastic season <ok>
