Personally I haven't renewed my ticket for the last couple of years (TP's reign).
Prior to that I had a season ticket for 20 years, since I was 7 years old...
However, the decision wasn't all based on TP. It was based on the poor running of the club for the last few years. In a nutshell, I feel like the board are taking the p*ss out of us fans. I was due to renew this year if we had a decent summer window, but it ended up being an even bigger joke than last year!
I'm sure there are plenty others in the same boat. I know fans that have renewed who wished they hadn't on deadline day!
So it could fall again... But that's not all because of TP, rather because of the woeful transfers (or lack of them).
Now I'm not overly enamoured with TP's style, but I think there's more to an attendance than just who is in charge. Fans need to be excited by new players, players with pedigree, exciting players. Had we signed 2 or 3 players in the Chadli mould, I'd have renewed my ticket, but one wasn't enough...
There's no doubt that TP's style is a bore, but so was Hodgson's and Irvine's. IMO the attendances are due to the fact that we all know there is more money in the league now but we're still spending pennies! People are fed up of us making no progress each and every year...
