A shame but totally get it.
Mind, them swimming galas. Like being in a particularly echoey rainforest all day.

Renewed mine and actually paid a premium to remove myself from the boring old droners who have been increasingly getting on my tits for the past few seasons.
Boner wins.My ears win (hopefully).

Jesus, it must be worse than I thought.
Little wonder speedway donāt publish attendances.
Renewed mine against my better judgement. To be honest itās more as an excuse to meet mates and have a few beers than it is to watch the football, so donāt dare count my renewed patronage as any kind of vote of confidence in the board or senior management team Walsall FC.

After having one ever since 1988 I havenāt renewed for next season, not to say I wonāt in time but its started to feel more like a chore than something to enjoy. Maybe after a few months of no football l will feel differently
I renewed mine mainly for the same reasons for the social element and if didnāt have one would probably stay in the pub on the odd occasion when we didnāt fancy the game
Despite posting on another thread - I forget which - exactly the same sentiment, and my intent to renew, I havenāt actually done so.
Unfortunately thatās down to a change in my circumstances which means my opportunities to watch home games next season could well be few and far between.
Using Bonsers āwell run clubā business model on my own finances means itās just not cost effective to purchase even an old fogey season ticket.
Of course, if Jeff had decided to loosen his rent chokehold upon the club, I would have been persuaded to part with my readies despite my circumstances (easy for me to say as thatās never going to happen is it).
I will go next season whenever I can, whatever league - and mess - we find ourselves in.
UTS
Iāve renewed but Iām always critical of the players and staff. I donāt like the way they do things but at the end of the day I want to meet mates at the pub and then go watch the football.
If I didnāt renew and sat at home would I still meet them at 12 then just go home at half 2? Nah, Iād still end up meeting them as I canāt just sit inside on my own of a weekend, then end up going down to the ground anyway and paying even more into his pension pot.

600 or so tickets left for the Shrewsbury game.
Iāve renewed as have the 6 others I go with.
We may be crazy but itās just what we do on a Saturday. Win, lose or draw . For better or worse ( mostly at the moment).
Yes there are other things to do- sit in the pub/ cinema/rugby/ follow a premier league team etcā¦
Iāve tried them all but when your watching Chelsea v Arsenal and just glued to your phone praying WFC score at home to Scunthorpe you realise there is only one place to be.
You never know what could still happen. Itās highly unlikely but a 92nd minute hotly disputed penalty winner at Salop to relegate them at the same time would easily make up for the rubbish witnessed over the last 2 seasons.

Have I read my emails right can we get into the last two games for twenty quid a tenner each?

Thatās the way iāve read it , and will be ordering tomorrow . 
Hope everyone else will too , and give the team a noisy backing till the end
A proper business would be ringing you this week to ask why you havenāt renewed and perhaps you might re-consider with a 10 quid shop voucher thrown in.

I am more shocked at you than anyone else. Probably in the top 5% on here of the most vocal anti-Bonsor posters, regularly posting about how you canāt relate to modern football any more and also extremely vocal in how poor the atmosphere / matchday experience is and the attitude of those fans that do still go (being reported to a steward etc)?
Donāt take offence but why pay a pretty high premium into something that seemingly causes you so much negativity? If your on here complaining about all the same things again next year, then surely you only have yourself to blame?
Fair play mate. Canāt really argue against much youāve posted there.
Over the years I have considered the possibility of stopping going or not.
In the end I look forward to match days and meeting mates Iāve known since school (possibly itās only the games that have kept us in so close touch got the last 30+ years).
I hate Bonser with a passion and will do anything to rid us of his toxic, damaging reign. However, I canāt see stopping going will speed his departure, in fact I think it might lengthen his stay as it will make the club less likely to be an attractive purchase if the fanbase falls ever lower.

Thatās very altrustic of you, Tinned.
I was looking at it more in terms of keeping Ā£20 for myself.
Your last sentence is spot on and a very good argument for renewing. Anyway I am glad you have renewed and lets hope we can turn things round next season.

ā¦and that the protests start in earnest ā¦
Fair enough, you see my social circles are not connected in any way to Walsall FC, which is why its very different for me. Like I have mentioned I think 2 mates still go. However, I do understand those that go for that social reason, especially those that have been going for such a very long time.
I only asked because those that are as anti modern football and anti-Walsall as you, have generally stopped going (most donāt even care enough to come on here now) and that makes more sense to me; more sense than spending money to be miserable and angry. I spend my money to be happy - so there must still be some enjoyment there for you despite everything 
Personally I canāt see going or not going making any difference to Bonser. But when that mob does get mobilised hopefully I am still āconnectedā enough to be a part of it.
