Always will renew as long as I can afford it, it's the football club I care about no matter what gripes I have I echo this statement. I'll defo be renewing and as a previous poster has said, we've been through a lot worse than what we have now.

I'm sure Coates and Scholes will if sales are down by any decent amount. ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/800541/images/0m0lbCuTEBzaRn6f8QaM.gif) My seat, unless I die or other unforeseen circumstances happen will be warmed by my fat arse again next season.

Despite all the negativity on here, next seasons attendances will be similar to this season.

If you think it's bad watching Stoke on a wet, winters afternoon, just think what it would be like not watching. Sod shopping up 'anley, duck, with the missus. I'll stick with Stoke, ta! Saturdays without football, over winter, no thank you.

A free medal or matchsticks for Your eyes were suggested as an ideal accompaniment with the season ticket booklet yesterday.

I put this on another thread but it is probably more relevant on here. A few seasons ago I was out of work and there was no way I could even entertain getting my season ticket. To say I was gutted was an understatement but family came 1st. The deadline for early bird came and went and I was getting more pissed off by the week at the thought of not going the footie. With some massive luck I landed a job so got onto Josh at the ticket office and explained my situation. With some gentle persuasion and a bit of a guilt trip the club let me have my ticket at early bird prices. The point I am making is you don't realise how gutting it is to not be in the position to have a season ticket until the option is taken from you. For as long as I can afford I will always have my season ticket no matter the league or manager or owner and I encourage anyone else to do the same. I bet there are thousands out there that would give their right arm to have one. Dunna let them down. ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/800541/images/0m0lbCuTEBzaRn6f8QaM.gif) Up the potters!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;D

Average attendances over the last 5 seasons, 2012/2013 , 26,857, 2011/ 2012, 27,225, 2010/ 2011, 26,751, 2009/2010 27,162, 2008/2009,26,994. So given the fact that we have a few more home games to play, the average at the present time is only just below our average in the first season.

Pretty much the same, don't want to lose our seats as they're great and have sat by those around us for years now...not happy with the non-evolution but hold out hope it may come!
I'm even thinking about buying one next to us as it might be free come the end of the season as my lad will be coming with us in a couple of years.

I'm tempted to move our seats next season. Hopefully these non-renewals will open up a few decent spots.

I will renew mine no matter what and am pretty sure the other 5 of us will do the same.
I will not, however, under any circumstances buy a season ticket for my little lad until Pulis has well and truly fucked off. It is too big a risk to take in terms of destroying his love of Stoke City specifically and football in general.

Which Episodes?
4-6 are worth watching.
George spent all that money on trying to improve things in 1-3 but they were no better than the originals with Harrison Ford.
Lucas Out!

Indeed. Hopefully Disney can take them to the next level! ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/800541/images/KYqg3pYeaerc5lD_P7BR.gif) Return of the Jedi is his favourite. I like Empire Strikes Back but could really do with "A New Hope" sometime soon! ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/800541/images/KYqg3pYeaerc5lD_P7BR.gif)

Bloody hell - thought this was 3 pages of those NOT renewing! I will not, however, under any circumstances buy a season ticket for my little lad until Pulis has well and truly fucked off. It is too big a risk to take in terms of destroying his love of Stoke City specifically and football in general.

It won't be! Arriving in Valencia was as good as it gets for Stokies. Every minute right up to the point that we learned of the team TP had selected was the pinnacle. As I stood in the Mestalla waiting for the players to come onto the pitch I commented that "this is as good as it gets. It is all downhill from here. It's just a matter of how long it takes to slide and how steep the slippery slope is". Our closest team is Burnley so maybe he will support them! ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/800541/images/0m0lbCuTEBzaRn6f8QaM.gif)

Fancy putting up a picture of Valencia with Danny fucking Collins in the background!
I remember standing on that terrace when Graham Shaw scored 2 goals in our 2-0 win there in 92. Also remember quite a mental in the same stand, this time with a roof over us, when John Dryer got a last minute equaliser.
EDIT - That actually looks like the terrace that was behind the goal so is maybe not, actually, the terrace described above.
