The club decided to renew my season ticket without telling me (well they had sent me a letter, I just hadn't read it!).
I was all set to ring them up and cancel it after Sunday's result, in the end I just couldn't do it.
I can honestly say I am excited for the season ahead.
It was becoming arduous turning up to the Reebok and watching us get thrashed every week. Hopefully in the coming season we will see some better results and some new players (maybe even play some of the youngsters).
I just want to see what the feeling out there amongst other fans. Is it just going to be me and the missus at the Reebok next season or are the rest of the fans looking forward to next season?

| I should be there. I'm awaiting the fixtures for next season, just so I can plan my away days.

Renewing mine.
Had a season ticket in the Fourth Division, so one in the second tier isn't a problem.

This is a Catch 22 position for me.!! Before anyone asks, yes!! I used to be a ST holder, travelling up from Southampton for all the Week-End Home Games.
Since this coming season they have introduced the elderley ST (Sounds a bit better than OAP's), which is quite a big reduction and very reasonably priced. My Birthday falls just after the cut-off point, so would not be able to apply for it.
That being the case, hopefully the prices for being 65, after the cut-off date, will not apply, if I get tickets on an individual basis.  Then come December, hopefully apply for the Half Year ST.

I've already done mine - and my lad's (he's not getting away that easily)! I was getting one whichever league we ended up in. Though we won't be seeing the big names, I'm looking forward to some competative, equally balanced football, where we may even win some home games, and get fortress Reebok back. Hopefully we'll be able to hold our own in the championship. And who knows, if we start doing well, maybe more people may turn up to watch a winning side, than not turning up to watch a side permanently struggling.
So there you go, another 2 on the list! I did read on the BWFC website just before the Stoke game that 4000 season tickets had already been sold! I don't know if they have had any returns since :-)

I can't understand these people who are 'looking forward' to the championship.
Let's see how gripped you are when we're 14th in the table and losing 0-3 to the likes of Ipswich or Peterborough on a wet December Wednesday night. You'll quickly remember that anything outside the premiership is a pathetic waste of time. That said I expect some posters on here will continue to support the fcukwit that is Owen Coyle with your blind faith and optimism until the club is back where it was before Rioch came in.
I will never understand the support of a man who has undone so much good work, he should have gone at Christmas.

Personally, I'm looking forward to it because it is a fresh start in a different league, with different opposition and different players. We won't have our backs up against the walls for most of the season, and hopefully we'll be doing well in a competative league where there aren't any (or many) teams who've had someone come along, give them a wad of cash, and buy any half decent player under the sun.
This doesn't mean that I support Coyle, and yes, I thought that maybe he should have done long before now, but we already know he's staying, so we'll have to grin and bear it - but if we are 14th in the table come next December, then surely it would be time for a change then.
I disagree with the fact that anything outside the premiership is a pathetic waste of time - indeed I would suggest that in a few seasons time, it will be quite the contrary. Next season, even more games or on TV, which means even more changed kick off times. Premiership football is becoming more designed for the armchair fan, who can sit in front of the TV and watch football all weekend long. Definately not for the fan who actually pays to go and watch it at the ground!
Even though I stated that we needed to fight to stay in the premiership at all costs, we have to live with the drop. And for me that means still supporting the team, wherever they may be, and hoping that they play a form of football that both gets results and I enjoy to watch. If we are pushing for promotion next season, then brilliant. If not, then so be it.

Fair enough, we all understand the Prem is the place to be and getting back there will be the goal for next season.
The likes of Peterborough on a wet Wednesday night doesn't appeal. However, another season of getting tonked every week by these 'elite clubs' isn't appealing either.
Sometimes you have to take a step backwards to go forwards.
As for Owen Coyle, I have supported him in the past and even though he has taken us down I will continue to support him whilst he is in charge.
Some people have short memories, do you not remember Megson?

Was he the bloke that took us to the quarter finals of the Uefa cup? Signed Cahill and kept us up 2 seasons?
Let me guess, you were a big Sammy Lee fan as well?

That's the fella! You must be a real football person because you obviously appreciate his managerial prowess.
He's also the guy he managed to alienate the club from it's fans, spent approx
£30m and left us in the bottom three when he was sacked. Good 'un him

30 million? Was that his net spend? I think if you look into it a bit more you'll find you are way off.
Would you say the fans (what will be left of them after relegation) are totally in tune with Coyle's vision for the club's future? All I generally heard at half times or full times was a chorus of boo's at the reebok.
I don't think Megson was a great manager but I think he had more idea of how to galvanise a team and choose appropriate tactics than Owen Coyle will ever have. At the end of the day management of the club and team are what matters not good PR.

Some people talk about Megson like he was some kind of genius in the transfer market.
I don't have a clue what his net spend is but I do know he signed Ebi Smolarek, Mustapha Riga, Ariza Makakula, Paul Robinson, Sebastien Puygrenier, Danny Shittu, and Grzegroz Rasiak to name a few. He also signed Johan Elmander who was shite for 2 and a half years of his 3 year contract. So if I'm way off with his net spend then so be it.
I don't know if you go to the Reebok but trust me the atmosphere now is ten times better than during the Megson era. Also, in regards to "Would you say the fans (what will be left of them after relegation) are totally in tune with Coyle's vision for the club's future" well, by the looks of this thread it seems a lot of fans are in tune with OC's vision because they will be attending plenty of games next season.
Even though Coyle and the club have endured a terrible season, you will never convince me that Megson is a better manager the Coyle.
Irrespective of the manager, the true fans will continue to turn out to matches no matter what division we are in because real fans support the badge. Not the manager, not the players, not the chairman, not the division.

+1 to that.
And that is why I am looking forward to next season.

Absolutely agree.
The 'Coyle out' calls are tedious, but let them carry on.
Of course relegation is a huge kick in the guts, but it's happened, and I'm interested to see if Coyle can get us back up. No amount of moaning and crying about OC is going to change that.

| Let's not get in a debate of which manager is better Sammy, Megson or Coyle. Let's just say they are all equally crap and Gartside is a plonk for employing them in that position.

| Always had a season ticket up until I went to university. Didn't get one this year-my first back home since graduating. I will be getting one for next season. Looking forward to it.

It's not just the tactics. It's our defence, lack of fitness, we're second to the ball and our deadball situations are rubbish.
How are we going to strengthen the defence? All these questions have to be answered if we are going to get promoted. I see no move on Coyles part to freshen up his backroon staff, which is needed. Even if they brought in Phil Brown as a number 2 or coach it would be better than nothing.
We can't depend on blind faith alone. Thats insanity. We need the manager to get some balls!
Believe you me I want us back up too, but the club need to do more than move a few players on.Last edited on Sat May 19th, 2012 06:00 pm by Greeny2

I liken football to supporting your favourite band in that you pay to be entertained, in any form of activity. If your favoutite band release a couple of dud albums, do you buy and listen to them? Probably not, but you still love the band.
Similarly, supporting a football team is an emotional commitment. Sonewhere along the line, the emotional value conficts with the entertainment value. I reached that stage during the course of last season, when the pre-match get together with my mates become more enjoyable than going to the game.
I still love BWFC but dislike the whole ethos of the game as it is now.

As PFM and Megson say his NET spend was small but get a grip - that was because Big Sam had left us with Nicholas Anelka to sell and without that 15million in the coffers Megsons transfer record was abysmal.
And although it makes him sound good, I'd like to remind you that megson didnt get us into the UEFA cup he just managed the team who were already there (some would say very poorly, and that with a different man in charge we could have gone further) and we were never in danger of getting into it again as megson only had one mindset - survival.
On a brighter note I cant wait for next season. Im excited at the prospect of Holden and Chungy being back. Im excited about watching more evenly matched teams playing at the Reebok. And I'm especially excited because we are getting season tickets after a couple of years of just getting down on the odd occasion.
   
I understand why some people are disappointed to be relegated after 11 years but to say the prem is the only place to be and anything else is pointless is truly ridiculous.
I live in Fleetwood and week in week out hundreds of people turn up to watch and enjoy their team play and they have only just got into league 2. None of them think its pointless or a waste of their time. They also have to travel all over the country for away matches to grounds that are a lot worse than Ipswich and Peterborough and they aren't complaining.
I think its fine to criticise or find fault with decisions or players but to base your support on who the opposition are rather than what your team is doing is a bit strange. If you feel the only place worth watching football is the prem then maybe you should consider joining the hordes of glory hunters supporting the likes of Man u or City etc so your team will never be in danger of relegation!

Those are contradictory statements.
Attending the Reebok matches, buying a season ticket, are not "fans in tune with OC's visio". but they are "true fans will continue to turn out to matches no matter what division we are in because real fans support the badge. Not the manager, not the players, not the chairman, not the division."
I ordered my new season ticket before relegation was confirmed but I didn't want Coyle in the first place, I thought he should have gone last autumn, and I don't want him now. But I support the club, like back in the 80s.

I've not had a season ticket for a few seasons now, but seriously considering getting one this year. Extra home games and a chance that we will compete more often and come away from the Reebok mostly happy!

Welcome back chap, been a little sterile in here the last couple of weeks..
I am having another mid life crisis and considering a return to God's country so if I do then I will be picking up one.. Of course I could something really dumb like buy a Harley and tour the USA..

Good to be back Catte....I was on the verge of not giving a damn, but decided it was well worth fighting for.
Well mine also depends on whether my son wants to get one. I like to go along with him. I need to have someone to tell how bad we are at half time. 
I had a 250cc custom Suzuki (pear drop tank...the lot) when i was a teenager, but never took my test. You could ride a 250 on L plates in those days and as the bike was HP'd up to high heaven, I wasn't going to replace it soon and never saw the need to rush and take my test. Gutted now, because the idea of touring on a harley sounds great!

My Dad's just bought his first season ticket since about 2004.
There's some interesting fixtures when you look at that list.
Leeds, Brum, Blackpool, Leicester, Wednesday, Derby, Palace.
Nobody's happy to be down, but so long as we're at the top end of the table it'll be an enjoyable season for us!

I think we're in for an interesting and hard season. If nothing else, we're going to be competing (genuinely competing) with some decent teams. I think we're going to enjoy most of it.
