looking better? enough to renew your season ticket?

Post by **loudnproud** » Thu Jan 19, 2006 12:12 pm

Personally,at this very moment in time,i would renew.....I'm excited at the prospect of seeing a confident Parkin and ever improving youngsters like Barron,Supple,Garvan, Our ambition this season must be to finnish strong and above the budgies

If we can achieve this,I believe we will be ready to bounce back with venom.In conclusion,I would also like to see Bam Bam made up to skipper next season.See ya awl at Southampton!

there was never any doubt in my mind L&P ...I'd renwe my ST even if we were relegated - Im either daft as a brush or Blue to the Bone - am probably both if I think about it

Post by **Earl Blue** » Thu Jan 19, 2006 12:32 pm

Well if renewing my ST's are helping the club and saving me a bit of cash
as well, I m up for it (as always).

i have never been in the position of being able to buya season ticket : but then when i first strarting going in the 70's you didn't really need to be a season ticket holder and i suppose for a while yet i still cant .

Himple · Post by **Himple** » Thu Jan 19, 2006 1:52 pm

Will certainly be renewing in my mind, doesnt matter if were relegated, i'll always renew

I cant justify that sort of cash to watch that sort of crap. But il still see 80 of the game. Il be working in one the bars in the lower north.

Phil · Post by **Phil** » Thu Jan 19, 2006 2:49 pm

I'd Love to renew if im in the position of it being practical, but at the moment im working a basiccly every other saturday and could well be working every saturday. But a couple years of working every saturday could be a sacrafise well worth making.

crazee · Post by **crazee** » Thu Jan 19, 2006 3:33 pm

im in the same boat as Phil, i currently work every other saturday, this season ive missed two home games and havent been to attend the away ones, next season it could be the other way round so i might have to get just the Silver Card, i wont know what im doing until the fixtures come out so im a bit stuffed TBH

but i would renew if i knew i wasnt working the home games, if i am ill be "sick" alot next year

i hadn't thought of that , thats something i'll have to do.

Well I won't be purely on the premise that I am now paying a mortgage and also for the fact that I like to go and watch my brother in law as much as possible.

I should still get to at least 10 games per season, and it doesn't matter who the opposition is either, it is just a case of what I can afford and what suits my schedule.

John · Post by **John** » Fri Jan 20, 2006 5:06 am

renew your season ticket!!!!!!

.......i will always renew it.

as long as i can afford to go i'll back the blues doesn't matter how we are doing.

Riviera · Post by **Riviera** » Fri Jan 20, 2006 5:08 am

wish i could be in a position to get a season ticket, but as much as i love the Blues theres no way i could leave Torquay, not until the kids have grown up anyway

i'll just keep plodding along, popping up every now and again, and maybe the odd away game

i have no problem with fans like you mate,your situation is that it would be next to impossible to get to all home games,therefore buying a season ticket would be a waste of money,but for fans that live in ips who can afford to go,but won't because we are not playing premier football or playing quote well enough unquote,i think just shows that they can't be true blues......and i know i will get slated for it but don't care

i shouldnt worry about that, ive had this argument many times, ive been to Portman Road with only 12,000 there, that was back in the days when getting a ticket was no problem, home or away, the season we got to the play off final i did loads of games, home and away, but because i couldnt get to PR to queue for a ticket i had to buy 2 from a tout

the good folk of Ipswich dont know how lucky they are

I think that is unfair chap and I guess I might have to slate you for it hehe

I guess in reality I could afford to go to portman road and purchase myself a season ticket. But that would mean not having a holiday, not enjoying as many other things in life.

I am true blue, I would never support any other club - except the club my brother in law plays for (family doesn't count). So because I could afford it but choose not too that makes me a bad fan???

I have been to portman road for the past 15 years (since coming back from australia) whilst I will always support the team I know there are MORE IMPORTANT things in life. At the end of the day things have happened which have left a sour taste in my mouth and for me I want to be entertained.

ITFC have done me and my family no favours at all and as such if I choose to be selective I bloody will be. It does wind me up when so called fans call themselves true blue because they have nothing better in their lives than to call themselves REAL FANS - because they would go without food in order to support the team.

I was at the anglo-italian cup games when we struggled to get 10,000 fans in. The first season after relegation from the premiership back in 1996 time. I had followed the team through thick and thin in recent years but right now I would rather see my HARD EARNED MONEY spent on things I can enjoy and appreciate. If that makes me a fair weather fan - then so be it chap - if you class yourselves as real fans because we make a choice and you don't then that is your perrogative!!

Riviera · Post by **Riviera** » Fri Jan 20, 2006 5:38 am

go mole!! lol

its all about opinions fella, some people see football as a massive part of their lives and others see it as a big part but not the be all and end all

im suprised u have time to watch them this year the amount of globe trotting u'll be doing

speaking of which, check ur PM;s

If I lived in Ipswich you can be assured I would be a season ticket holder, I have thought about getting one and its not the price of the season ticket that puts me off, its the price of commuting back and forward to Ipswich which is the killer.

remember 6,000 in the anglo italian cup against port vale.

knew i'd take stick

it is your perrogative and your argument is valid,but i don't go without food etc to go,i go because i enjoy football and love ips...like you.

believe me i understand how expensive football is though and the simple fact is we as fans in general are being pushed out or priced out the game by fat cats wanting nothing more than to line their pockets.

i'm not going to win this argument,i know that...i've been a season ticket holder now for 8 years,prior to that i payed at the turnstile when i could afford to go,alot of my mates would only go to watch us when we went up and this is my argument.....not once did they bother to go when we was in d1.

I don't think it is a winnable arguement from any angle chap hehe!!! And I wasn't trying to have a dig before really

For me the love and passion associated with football has fallen away. I will also support ITFC - my dad is fan and as such I became a fan. I am proud to come from this town and it is nice to be associated with this club. Yes I do remember the 6000 anglo italian game - for me at this time in my life I can't jusifty spending money on a season ticket purely because I am a fan.

No doubt at somepoint in my life times will change and I will be happy to pay for it every season. Football in this country is being priced beyond the fans the game is meant to be for. All clubs would rather invite in corporate clients than your "hard-core" so to speak. They want to be associated with the rich and successful as opposed to the hard working.

A few things together over the past few years have contributed to my decision - I always want to see the club do well regardless of who is in charge on and off the pitch - but for me I don't feel the need to invest money at this time.

Being in the premiership wouldn't make a difference - just watching a team who work hard and play with passion might be enough to tempt me back. If football would rather have the corporate fan that is fine with me - I can do my voting with the feet hehe.
