Season Ticket Renewal

[Fbreath]

I think they're taking a big chance, extending Early Bird to the end of April. Our fate will almost certainly be settled by then, and if it is relegation, I imagine a fair proportion of those people who have hung back until the new deadline will say "f*ck it".

What they have to realise that now more than ever there are other options to watch games. So people deciding shall I shan't I renew have that option in the forefront of their mind.

I'm a 99-year-old Swansea City fan - this is the worst I've seen us in decades

Ron Horsey has seen plenty of highs and lows at Swansea City

The guy can't have a good memory as I've seen us much worse and I'm nowhere near his age.

4-0 loss at home to Kidderminster is just one of nightmare times.

That was decades ago in all fairness to him.
No doubt that period was so much worse now than now.

You are right, we have been a lot lot worse than this . Remember losing 5-0 to Chester on a boxing day one year, and a lot of my teenage years could only dream of being in the championship (or league 2 as it was back then) . Had to apply for re-election in the 70s , so things have definitely been much worse than this.

You can compare bad periods as much as you like, I agree we've had worse, but this guy does have a point, right now is definitely a dark time for the football club, it's right down there with that late 90s/early 00s era and when we nearly went bust mid 80s, the time we had to apply for re election etc. The whole club right now from owners to fans is not a happy place at all.

One of the first games I ever saw at the Vetch was a six - one defeat by Workington Town and I think we lost the reverse fixture 7 - 0 that season!

No, it’s not as bad as those days but, from where we were just over a decade ago it’s criminal how we’ve declined, starting with the sell out.

The home loss to Exeter at the Vetch in the Hull season. Thought we were doomed after that.

Regardless of what's happened since the Americans rode in to town, the blame in my opinion for the state of the club sits with the sell outs.

The time for protests and a show of anger was then. I feel that ship has passed.

Most welcomed the “investment”. One of my dad’s mates was getting very angry with me during our 3-1 win over Liverpool when I told him there was no investment and this was just Jenkins et al getting rich on the back of us all by selling to the first naive arseholes that would pony up the cash.

They lined their pockets with the first group willing to pay them and then continued to reap the benefits by sitting in the directors box and laughing at us all.

That Dutch fella makes my skin crawl to this day.

Yes coming away from the ground we thought that was it.
We went to Rochdale thinking it could be out last away league game for a while.

Then history.making.

After the risk they took in 2001 to rescue the club out of their own pockets, and the way they slowly built us up to being a cup winning European side, I don't think anyone would have begrudged them selling up around the time they did. At that point they probably deserved to make a nice little bunsen.

But it was how they did it that left such a bad taste. There was no duty of care, no due diligence, no making sure the Trust was ok, it was literally "right, where's the cheque, we're off, bye".

Any goodwill they may have had went down the pan that day. They should never be forgiven for it. Mercenary bastards.

Oh god, yeah, no one could fault them for them selling the club after what they did to save it in the first place.

It was the how and who they sold it to that ruins their legacy, for me.
