We have a million and one depressing and angry threads on not renewing but very few on those that have.
Me? It's a yes from me. Debated it but I really don't think things are as bad as some are claiming. We're still better than we were under RK/PJ but we've had a cr@p season no doubt. However I still think Mick is the man for the job if Evans freed up some funds. I have a feeling this summer may be the point where Evans wakes up.
I think next season could surprise us. Or that's what I'm praying for anyway. |  |

Yes, it is a long time since the heady days of Wembley 2000, I have stayed with Town this far so it will be another season for me, Mrs. B and Basuco the younger. |  | | |

Me. I support my local team. I love going to the match. My son has joined me the last couple of seasons and his football education is not yet complete. I think he gets it. It's not just about the football. It's also about the before and after. Meeting old friends. Making new friends. I hope he'll look back fondly on his introduction to football. I do on mine. There is lots he can't appreciate yet. That moment a substitution is made. A player from the youth team. The first time you've seen him. And you know, he's got it. The touch, the vision. He's going to make it. He does. Great pleasure. And then the pain. The pain when we sell him. Because we have to. Because we can't hold him back. Because we need the money. I'm back next season because I love my club. I love the pub pre and post match. And I'm waiting for that substitution. The pleasure and the pain. |  |

I sit quite near to you and would miss your dulcet tones.
Quite a haircut you've had Sir.  |  |

I've renewed.
Football is sh1t. But there's nowhere I'd rather be on a Saturday than at Portman road or some northern sh1thole cheering us on singing my heart out.
I spent years saying I wanted a season ticket and would do anything to have one. |  |

Yes I have renewed, I love my seat in the upper Coop stand, the people that I sit next to and have a chance to chew the fat with.
Having played, coached and managed teams for many a year, I have had the chance to look down at the selections/formations being played by the teams during the ME reign. McGilton, bad first choice as manager, far too close to the players that he had previously been playing with, a novice manager and a squad that was far too big.
Keane, what an exciting prospect this appointment was, turned into a nightmare as he squandered money and cast off exciting talent, many that have come back to haunt us.
Jewell, had an impressive track record in the past, but had been out of the game too long, relegation threatened.
McCarthy saved us during his first season, built in a fine work ethic and unearthed some gems bought for the peanuts that he had been given by ME, then sold for millions that kept the club ticking over, with ME having an easy ride. That ride is over now ME, I have renewed my interest in ITFC, time for you to do the same? |  | | |

How do you think people perceive the beautiful town of Romford?
Edit. That was meant as a reply to Rommy for slagging off Barnsley and Rotherham. I like South Yorkshire. Whenever I've been to Barnsley I've always enjoyed chatting with the locals.
Rotherham, unforunately, has had some terrible publicity in recent times.
I live 'Up North', Rommy, which is why I'm probably quite defensive about your comments [Post edited 1 May 2017 6:03]

I can get quite confused about which camp I'm in sometimes. Being from 'down south' but living up here means I can pick and choose when it suits me.

Sadly i feel football has left MM behind and even if ME did give him a big old wedge,he would still serve his dross up,but just with better players. |  |

Commendable and let's hope things improve but let's also not make the decision out to be one about whether people are continuing to support their club or not. It's more about guaranteeing them £500 in advance for what's likely to be another, or even worse, season of misery and boredom. Won't make much difference for me as I haven't had a ST for some years, I've always lived too far away to make it worthwhile, as the petrol alone nearly trebles the cost of attending. But I tend to do as many away games as home and I think there's cetainly a decent proportion of those not renewing who will do something similar. |  | | |

I like Sth Yorks and the people. The countryside arond there is lovely and the cities have a charm all of their own especially when you walk around the old industrial centres , forges and mills. The same goes for the North in general.
Rommy , you're being daft. |  | | |

I've renewed because I love the Town and I enjoy the day out. I still mostly enjoy the match itself too. |  |

You have to remember Rommy spends most of his time with his fingers in a greasy box licking KFC remnants off his fingers, looking at the wonder of tower blocks as the distant promise of the M25 gets his mind racing.

Yep. Did debate it (in my head and with mates). Particularly as I already miss a fair few (especially Tuesday nights) and had plans to move even further away. Coming, and paying on the day, now and again seemed a more financially sensible choice.
But as a mate pointed out, I'd end up coming less and less due to having to justify forking out for matchday prices. With a season ticket I'd be more likely to come simply because it's already bought and paid for. Which was a good point I thought.
As others have said, it's not just about the match. It's the whole matchday experience. Catching up with mates for food, drinks and chats about everything, not just ITFC. Been doing it for years and couldn't really stop that. Most of us have a small hardcore group of best mates and mine happen to be my ITFC mates. We've been on several holidays together too. And there's no point coming all the way to Ipswich just for a beer and a chat. Might as well watch the match however dull it might be.
A mate is renewing without hesitation, probably for similar reasons, and he lives in Clithero near Blackburn. He's probably going to hell for his carbon footprint and it's definitely a waste of money for him compared to paying on the day.
Supporters who just come for the match I can understand not renewing. |  |

I've renewed, in all honesty I find the continual rail replacement busses far more of a drag than the football - although that has been dreadful at times over the last 18 months. I might find myself going to fewer home games because of that but I still enjoy the day.
Also the differential between season ticket and match day prices is such that I just about do enough games for it to make sense but the real advantage of the season ticket for me is that I just need to worry about the transport if I want to go. |  |
