I will renew. Yes it is frustrating but i’ve been there through thick and thin since 1983 and times have been worse than now.

I personally don’t care if we win lose or draw as long as they look arsed and fight for the cause! There’s too many high 5’s too opposition players and refs at the final whistle for me.. but that’s modern football! The whole match day experience at the Bet365 is shite, from the constant adverts on the tannoy to the bullshit getting off the car parks after! It’s dross from start to finish. Soo many bums on seats today and still no atmosphere? It needs to change quickly cos the freebie’s that came today won’t want to pay £25+ a game for that I felt so sorry for all those kids who attended their 1st ever Stoke match today. Queues to get in, freezing cold, queues to get food/drink, no atmosphere, shite performanceand ridiculous queues to get away from the ground . That's the way to reel them in

Had a full on, nowhere near an argument, but differences of opinion with my best mate who, like me has had one for nearly 30 years.
He's got different priorities and justified ones, but would definitely have one if it was worth going. Effort and a reason to go, not just glory, hence the 30 year investment.
I've already signed up as I've got a football mad 10 year old, but totally understand why some might say enough is enough.
Season tickets are no longer a financial bump for the club, but the sign of commitment from a dedicated fan base.
Unfortunately by the look of this thread, it's definitely going to take a huge hit.

At a period of time when the clubs efforts to keep prices low and get kids going to the game- note cheap kids st’s are now all over ground not just family stand- you would hope there was something positive to see on the pitch. There simply isn’t.
Younger kids who don’t go in the week ( save for half term) like mine have seen a single win in goodness knows how long ( Peterborough).
They won’t want to keep going as there’s no excitement.
I don’t mind us losing the odd game of course - but- the minimum I and sure everyone else wants to see is a manger and set of players who are well drilled/ set up, shows commitment and desire, play to win at and play positive football.
I’d be happy if you could leave , even in defeat, and think we’d given it a good go.
We’re simply not seeing that. I don’t think we ever will under this manager. Something has desperately got to change.

I'll have one one out of habit but I'll be totally straight. I'm bored absolutely shitless and have been since relegation spanning three managers. All I ask is a manager sends a team out on the pitch that is super fit, is aggressive, plays to a sensible plan and leaves nothing on the pitch. I've yet to see it for a long, long time. I echo the above but at the moment I'd settle for the occasional successful 10 yard pass whilst under no pressure from the opposition* * This winds me up more than anything else not happening on the pitch.

I have a steward who lives next door but one to me he’s a lovely chap until he puts on his SCFC high viz coat on and then thinks he’s Eddie Hall , he gets paid to be there and watches the game and even he’s had enough

Thinking of asking if I can move to block 40, you seem to have a great time in there and plenty of goals to celebrate 🙁.

Will be renewing because that's what I do,but I can appreciate why a lot of people are thinking twice about it.The last two home performances have been totally unacceptable.

We've renewed , my nipper is still in the eternally youthfully optimistic phase where having started going during Mad Nath era things still seem better than that . Will be a hard sell next year without some serious improvements

The other week, when we were 2-1 down to Luton, the boothen was almost all gone and these dick heads lined up and stared at my, my 15 year old son and my disabled dad.

I've already renewed but the football which is not great, but having a few drinks with lads and away games are great days out usually spoiled by 90 minutes. It's the only excuse I have to give the wife to get out on Saturdays.

I shall be renewing all 4 of my tickets. I don’t want to, I don’t enjoy it, it’s a massive chore on the day to convince my lads and my old man to go, it’s an absolute ball-ache getting us all there and I can think of quite a few things I’d rather be doing.
At full time yesterday, I wasn’t renewing, here we are 24hrs later and I’m looking forward to Tuesday wondering if we’ll turn a corner. And repeat.
However, I’ll wait til April 2nd to teach the twats a lesson…

It's a hard one for me, 294 quid seems really good value for money on the face of it and with the price freeze on it again shows the board to care about the fans.
However over the last 4 seasons up to now its costing nearly 10 quid for every point earned at home, I don't think that's good value for money.

We all said the same after yesterdays game. You win some & you lose some… But I work hard for my money & I’m spending it watching overpaid “professional” footballers who can’t even pass the ball to a team mate! I’ll probably still renew though.

4 of us season ticket holders ever since we moved to the Brit/Bet365 stadium and even had them for a few years at the old Victoria ground but I can see this being our last. Normally during the course of a season I'll miss 2 or 3 games but this season i've missed about 40% of the games and have zero motivation to go. Over the years we've seen some shite and accept that being a Stoke fan but currently there's just nothing to get the crowd going... the overall play is dire to watch and there's nothing to get you out of your seat. I know Oneils had a lot of rebuilding work to do with the squad but you've got to question his team selections at times and especially yesterday. Like I say it currently looks like we won't renew unless there's a major upturn in the entertainment on offer.

I don't think we’ll be renewing our two. The shit we’re forced to watch actually ruins my weekend and I feel like a mug to be paying for the privilege!! My 13 year old really can't be arsed anymore, prob take him fishing or mountain biking instead. The fuckers can't even be arsed to take the ads down out of the bogs from 2020!

I live 5 minutes from the ground, I would have a season ticket if work & other commitments didn't get in the way but I'm glad I've got these other commitments because I can watch the shit unravel from the comfort of my sofa on the t.v or elsewhere on my phone instead of freezing my bollocks off. I'll continue to pick & choose my games.
You're being mugged, the manager should have gone last night because it's not good enough, but that's scfc in a nutshell. The club are basically saying it's o.k for you to watch that

People will continue to buy a ST no matter how shite it is because that's what they do at weekends, fair play to them. Suppose the beer helps lower the blow of watching spineless performances

O’Neill is sucking the energy out of the club.

Away games are great especially when you haven't been there but even so again something to look forward too even if the game is crap, after all we all turn up for work most days of the week when we don't particularly want to be there.

I guess some want a successful club and the club to have ambition but some just go anyway. How the manager can still be in a job now is ridiculous, it wouldn't happen anywhere else
