I’d scrap the idea or just have it going on till end of June. There’s no way we’re going sell many and even less if they go up after March/April. Just talking to people today around us and many being go for years say there not renewing. Few surprised me. I’m not but more to do with working shifts. Worrying times and I think the club are in for a shock?

When we are shit is when we need to give our support the most. If you only want the good times then you wont be missed anyway. Fickle fuckers!

The club need to press on with this and any poor uptake in sales needs to be put at the door of the CEO and pronto.
It's on his watch that this has happened and he needs to take full responsibility, and if results like poor early bird sales help to make some change at the top then so be it.

Season ticket for radio stoke is much cheaper and you can just switch it off to save batteries when you have heard enough 😁

Take banners, protest outside like the old days but don't desert the lads. It's like cutting ya nose off to spite your face. We are pissed off because of what we are seeing on the pitch so that means we care, so we should'nt turn our backs on them but make our voices heard against what we deem to be the cause of the problems.

Fair play, I'm not giving up one of my only 1/2 days off a week which would also scupper other plans to pay to be mugged off. These have proven they don't know how to take the club forward, even if they have a £50m in the summer you know with the current clowns the chances are they'll piss it up the wall. Its beyond a joke now that a club our size can't even supply the strikers with chances to score a goal. More so for me after 22 games sacking a perfectly good manager after giving him 50m to spend to start a massive rip down & rebuild only to replace him and take us back to square 1 with what is now a new host of other players on long contracts. The job went from massive to massively massive after 22 games. What was the slogan last summer " where we belong".... no shit, should of added "in style" at the end of it. We have been a shit disjointed team for 3 years & counting... whatever floats your boat, I value my weekends more than to pay to be mugged off . Start signing players that are the good deals for the "team" and not the "club". Proven failures at the top will not lead to a successful future, I'm not showing my financial support to them at the top, lack of crowd numbers is the only way they will get the message.

I don’t think reduced season ticket sales will affect anything...they will come back if there is a winning team on view.

Jones will come good and I’ll renew to watch it next season. We’ll be with you..

I will renew but it has nothing to do with Jones /Cartwright/ Scholes et al. I go with my two best friends (of 40yrs) and none of this shit will change that. I expect things to get worse befor thay get better .This is the real Stoke DNA.

We could all have had free season tickets, free parking, a free pie, free programme and a free pint every match instead of buying Afobe and paying his wages - makes you think.

I will renew because I think we are going to see a team that is trying to control games and play positively. It isn’t perfect but I haven’t seen that for a long time.
It’s shit but we are where we are. It isn’t going to be pretty. Hopefully it’s not in league one.

Whoever is doing the marketing will be facing the toughest challenge of their career. The mood is so dark and the number of season ticket holders who no longer show up suggests that we could be facing anything up to a 50% reduction in sales. I’m not sure there is anything that can be done about it in what remains of the season.

I wouldn't put it past our board to decide this was finally the time to increase prices and try and sell it as the fans doing their bit towards financing a push for promotion.

3 generations of mine will renew no matter what, its father son time and we've been at it since 1972, the only thing that gets in the way of that is money, my old fella is 82 this year and if he can stand it at the moment the rest of us should be able to this is not the time to turn our backs on the club, this is the time we are needed.

Oh yeah, "We're stoke city, we'll play how we want" Best football we've seen for 30 years, people didn't like it because they couldn't deal with it. all within the rules of the game

The problem with this is it's the CEO who will take the decision!

12,000-14,000 I think. You might as well do them buy one get one free or something very similar.
I know the supporters council think that freezing the prices would be good, buy it's going to take more than that...
While we are getting parachute payments the club should be trying to keep the supporters happy and more, because if we are still here in 4 years time then the support will be be at the same level as the late 90's/early 2000's
11k midweek 14k weekends 16k with decent away support 19k for the big big matches
