These were seats next to us on Saturday; all groups of 2 or 3nwho didn't turn up. They're ALWAYS there. Also, the 2 to the left of me weren't there or the 2 directly in front of me. We know those four are not renewing and I'd say there's a good chance that most of those in these 2 rows aren't either. We wouldn't have been there but for Hoggy. They've lost most of the fans. I still want to know how many of the 5,500 are in the £419 or £439 bracket. I think the chap on the end of our row to the left of me is, because he said see you next season and I said unlikely, but his child will qualify for free and then one lot of £419 doesn't sound so bad. I'd do it if there was just one of us which is why I asked Snoots if he wanted to go solo. After all, he's been going since he was 7, a season ticket holder since he was 16/17 and he took my nephew when I only went to the odd match. However, it's become a couple thing now. Also, my nephew was going to renew but then he asked last week if we really were giving up because he said he really doesn't want to. He's seen bad times, technically worse than this, but there's something very wrong that is starting to feel unfixable. I'm sure they will but I really wouldn't like to guess how long that will be. I fear we will be seeing League 2 first. If the eejits in charge either get a manager I can get behind or lower the prices to match the product (hate that phrase; sorry to use it; football shouldn't be talked about in that way), I will still renew. But, if they us go, we won't be back whatever improvements they scrape together. We'll just get in the habit of using the time for something else because we know ourselves too well. We've already arranged a Saturday out with my nephew and his girlfriend and that sort of thing will be infinitely more appealing than that shower of ****.

The nephew was watching Yorkshire on YouTube whilst we were there Saturday. That was new but telling. We left after Hoggy was subbed. He left when the 4th goal went in. We can't even look forward to a Costa after the match now because it closes too soon. We used to enjoy a natter about it all amongst ourselves and all the other familiar faces that were in there every fortnight.
