Just had this email
"In just over a week since the season ticket renewal period began, half of all season ticket holders have now renewed their seat for the 2022/23 season, making this the second fastest season ticket renewal since the club’s promotion to the Premier League in the 2018/19 season"
Same email. I don't believe them.
2018: We'd got promoted, nearly everyone would have signed straight back up, indeed a fair proportion actively signed up in January to guarantee it if we got to the PL
2019: We'd just made Europe, who realistically walked away at that point
2020: Didn't even happen
2021: No sod had been able to do anything for 18 months. So yes we'll pay whatever, even though your price rise is a disgrace and your messaging is worse
It's a lie, or at best skewed by auto-renewals.
They're getting worried. If they were comfortable that people would walk away and the mythical waiting list would take care of it then they wouldn't contact me. They don't give a shit about me. In fact they'd hope I don't renew, someone buys my seat at a much higher price than I'm being quoted, and if I ever want to come back I have to pay a higher price too down the line.
I actually do hope the cartoon "this is fine, what do you expect, you can't run a top six club on a Championship income" reaction on Twitter etc was the real outlier and actually people see it for what it is. The club taking the piss, and the team are rubbish to watch.
I'm currently at 60/40 Yes if we sack Lage and don't appoint someone who's obviously a joker and going to fail. 90/10 No if he's still manager on 8th June. I am very unlikely to want to pay to watch his football ever again.
