Have indicated I will renew (14th time) but on reflection re the clubs dodgy financial reporting, on top of Chairman resigning, the tax problems, non payment of wages, transfer embargoes, issues with the Trust etc, it makes you wonder..?

Might be a good idea to get a part season ticket as although I love my club, I don't trust the present ownership - seems unstable and yet to be proven...and like everyone else, each and every penny counts in our current economic climate and I have to think about how I spend them.

Sad to say I will wait until the last moment before deciding as I can't afford to throw money away.

Want to support my team next season but worry about the club folding before next Christmas...

I don't have a season ticket and will be paying on the gate again. I'm waiting to hear what the Trust situation is before deciding whether to re-join.

My concern is that those of us with that attitude are in an ever decreasing minority.

Now I unfortunately couldn't attend the Fans Forum the other Friday but I have it on very good authority from someone who did attend that Steve Beasant made a statement along the lines of not really wanting money from season tickets in one lump sum preferring revenue in a steady flow throughout the playing season.

Perhaps this is the Board's reasoning behind reducing pay on gate admission charges but at the same time increasing season ticket prices?

I think that's partially the reason, the others being the large difference between the season ticket matchday prices and a gate paying one on the day (if you break it down to the actual matchday price, considering the ever decreasing numbers of season ticket holders anyway), and the financial loss the club suffered due to the Trust discounts scheme.
