Me and mar lady have had season tickets for the last 40 odd years, Booths Stand Block C and the same 2 seats in the whatever it's called stand at bet 365 since it opened. We have bought a house in Portugal and will be moving out there in April, however, we will be renewing this month for times we come back and in the meantime our kids and grandkids will use them. It's in the blood, we are Stockiest, we might be a couple of thousand miles away but it doesn't matter.

I'm pissed off more than anyone but I had a season ticket when we had Ben petty, kofi nyamah, Bryan small, etc etc etc... losing at home to Birmingham 7 and watching shit games v Plymouth, Vale, Scunthorpe etc etc. I used to dream I'd see my team in the prem so I won't be giving it up anytime soon I'm with Clyde I got my first season ticket in the holocaust season. That was 3 wins out of 42 matches. I've had one ever since. If you don't like being in the top flight of what most people say is the best league in the world, put your name down for an allotment. No Brainer. WE SUPPORT STOKE CITY If it's in you that's it Renew. We have sadly idiot Doom merchants talking a good game as if they go, They are not supporters and there dross comments should be ignored.

But I've got an allotment and a season ticket, now you have well and truley confused me.oh it doesn't take much. That must be a hard choice on a match day. Fork some manure into your soil or watch some shite on our pitch! How much are allotments these days? Any price increase in the last 10 years? 😊

Did they announce that at 5am too? No, they announced it at least 3 times. The first time was during the day about 3 weeks ago. Then most of us had an email - I certainly did. Then another daytime announcement earlier this week. Obviously they are not trying hard enough if you didn't know, though.

The comments 'it's in your blood, so you must renew', I accept to a certain degree, but individual circumstances will prevail.
For me the money is not a problem, it's the also valuable commodity of time.
This season I did not renew as I'm doing my chartered accountancy exams. Working full time and studying is very difficult, as I'm sure others have done on here and therefore something had to be sacrificed. Unfortunately it was stoke.
Next season all being well should be different.

Sorry mate but couldn't help it ..But After me banging the drum that i aint renewing because its shit and boring at games AND IT IS i have done the unthinkable and renewed late this afternoon! I really am quite relieved tbh BUT things have to change but i doubt they will so 4 of us have agreed through gritted teeth that its one more season and see what happens after. Im still in shock and cant believe ive signed up for more DogShitBall! But its MY club Stoke City FC not Tony Pulis FC.....I hope he does leave or gets sacked though asap. Now ffs lets stay in this bastard league and FINALLY PUSH ON....! COME ON STOKE

Next season all being well should be different. Personal circumstances including financial will always dictate fella no arguments from me there. Family life should always come first. I think if you're lucky enough to have the time and finances to watch Stoke regularly and choose not to that's the bit I struggle to get my head around? Whatever we're putting out on the pitch, I thoroughly enjoy meeting up with my 5 mates every fortnight, going for a bit of food, couple of drinks and a chinwag before the game, chatting shit, reminiscing about the past and generally putting the world to right and will always continue to do that whatever the division whilst I'm able to. Easy to their own though ultimately.....

We buy a season ticket which entitles us to watch 19 games, in a normal season we require approx 40 points to achieve safety most of which for most teams are acquired at home. Our home form in the last couple of seasons has been nothing short of appalling and if not improved will almost certainly relegate us. Not only is our home form shocking it is also as dull as dishwater, lacking energy, pace and as usual goals, fortress Britannia is a distant memory. We are now routinely over run in midfield by virtually every team that rolls up even the newly promoted. If we were merely customers and not fans there would be considerably less of a reason to turn up every game. I am not expecting a glut of goals and three points most games just consistent work rate, pace and aggression mixed with a decent amount of skill. I no longer anticipate attend anticipating goals never mind three points and if it wasn't for the pre-match pint and meeting up with mates I would consider dropping my ticket.

Or it shows the level of overreaction that some people have when the facts say otherwise. As I say the home form isn't brilliant but it's ok. We lost the first two so it's actually one defeat in eleven.....

In what parallel universe would there not be a renewal deadline for early bird season tickets? Best check your emails or check the club website.

No I don't - but it appears that you do. Your problem, not mine! Been on SCFCdirect it doesn't give a deadline date. I'm going to ring the ticket office tomorrow anyway to find out whats going on with the two seats next to me and my Dad as my Son and his girlfriend might like to buy ST's for them.

On the advertisements it references 1st March to 31st March. Seems like a short window, I'm sure they'll extend it if indeed that is the set dates. Attachment Deleted

I'm sure the renewal has started in February before now. It's the early bird price not regular price, after the 31st March there'll be a period where people can swap seats to what's available elsewhere then whatever is left will go back on sale at a slightly higher price.

I will be renewing. This season was my first after an absence of 2 season (had one for years before that) I got made redundant and had to take part time hour so money was an issue, but start of last season bumped up to full time hours so getting a ST was a no brainer.
