Me and my Son have season tickets in the same seats for 18 years. He's now 23, and like me has been home and away for most of his life.
I don't know what's stopping me/him, but it feels like signing up to a year of dentistry. It may be all fine and dandy, but is highly likely to be painful.
I've had an email and a card in the post, but the Club aren't exactly pulling out the stops to sign us up.
To be honest, had the ticket office been open after the last home game, we would have renewed there and then. I was amazed it wasn't.
I want Ricardo to call round to mine for a brew and a chat, Alex Neal to sing a bit of Deacon Blue down the phone to me, or for Jacob Brown to mow my front lawn.
All unlikely to happen, but RF10 I don't live far from you!
So we've got until midnight on Friday to reserve our seats, or they'll be snapped up a minute later by the massed throngs of people out there who are desperate to sit in Block 17.
I haven't felt this way about the Club before, even in the 3rd tier, so is it just me?
Will we renew? Probably, out of stupidity and blind faith!
UTMP 🙈

UTMP 🙈 I’m currently getting my teeth sorted .. started in January ..thought it’d be a couple of weeks ..hoping now it’s sorted for Preseason Though at this rate rate , the speed things are moving it’s a toss up if we’ll be promoted up or my teeth are sorted first Believe me dentistry is worse ( just ) be brave if I can brave the dentist you can renew .. in your heart , despite the cost and the pain , like me you know it has to be done |

Whilst the alternative is being dragged round the shops or be given a list of chores around the house I'll be renewing until my dying breath......

It's been a very hard season to digest, especially at home. I can fully understand people not wanting to renew. I'd imagine that the current web-site start page about "season ticket deadline looms", is more a warning to the club rather than any potential supporters. This term just gone there were already gaps appearing where we sit and I'd imagine that will only worsen in the short term.
I think most will renew though, there isn't a Hanley to shop around nowadays anyway. Let's hope there's a big improvement in the fare on offer for us all.

Last season was the final straw for a lot of people. I'll be honest I'm seriously thinking about whether I want to part with over 600 quid on tickets. My sons was free and even with that I'm not convinced he got value for money. |

get it done and stop faffing about i go with my Dad who is in his 70s now and my lad who is now 16. Bit of Father/son/Grandad time is something you will cherish. One day you wont be able to and you wish you had. You only live once my friend so i will see you there (ps- im block 11, just down a bit) UTMP A big part of why I stay active with my interest in Stoke is for this very reason. My Grandad would come around for oatcakes. We’d drive to the match, talk about the opposition, watch the match, drive home and talk about the game. It was a great experience to have with my father and grandfather. When I have a kid, I’ll have to recreate that with bloody D.C. United 😩 |

This club is about to turn a huge corner. I’m sure of it. Promotion may be a step to far next season but the good ship Stoke City will finally be back on course.
Get it done mate - you don’t want to miss the ride.

I agree with the last, I think despite so many sceptics, we will have a good window and make good progress next season, possibly sneak into the play offs, but if not, certainly a strong top 10 finish.

My three are done we must be deluded 😂
But fuck it what else are we going to do on a Saturday ?
get moaned at about jobs around the house or walk around fessie park buying shit and having a brew.
It’s about meeting your mates having time with your kids having a beer and a pie
Cheering the goal
Getting the result
The good times and the bad
The wins losses and draws
The whinging the fuck it I’m not going again
Right up until Sunday morning when your WhatsApp group goes nuts with who we are and who we aren’t signing and how we should have played and how wank certain players are or how well they played
How wank the ref was
The banter with your friends
The debating it all week
But most of all the fucking hell I can’t wait till Saturday at 3pm to do it all again
It’s the hope that gets us

Renewed yesterday which was the most begrudgingly I've felt in 17 years. I even sighed when the transaction went through. Still without the misery we put ourselves through what else is there to enjoy on a Saturday?

I would not swap my seat location. And for that, even if I couldn't go all next season for whatever reason I would still buy it to keep my seat for when we're in the premier League again.
