Jeez, giving up season tickets after a poor year. I seem to remember the threat of relegation, and them being really bad, bringing Wigan fans together to support the team and us mocking them for it...

I'm thinking of not renewing because I'm not enjoying it anymore and not because we are losing. I'm bored stiff every week.

Its not the losing but the lack of attitude and pride in the shirt which I don't like. I just don't know how long I can keep watching the bore fest with a bunch of over paid half hearted team.

Its got to the point that I enjoy watching the kids rugby at halftime more than the actual game.

It shouldn't but will McManus do anything about it?

Yeah he will probably offer them all new deals.

The problem is this as I see it. I will watch Saints home and away I went to the Salford home game a week after coming out of Hospital following pretty major surgery, just because I am daft and I love the club and the game. I am one of the many perhaps six thousand who will always go. I bought my wife and daughter season tickets for the family stand when Langtree opened, my daughter has had the fantastic mascot package with Robes and it is a fantastic deal. However they are now just getting a touch cheesed off with the season as they see it "always seems cold Saints are awful only Lomax and Robes any good" I want to renew for them but your floaters need more than they are getting that is a fact. I believe the club are forming a fans group, but you know some of those will be internet warriors who don't even go they just support Hattons Solicitors!

Ditto. As I said before if I was interested in only winning when I started watching Rugby as a kid I've have supported the goons.

And thank God you didn't. One DaveO is enough on our board.

I don't think people saying they are going to ditch the season ticket is the same as ditching Saints.

People will still go.

I posted about Saints 6 games in that I won,t be re newing my season ticket because of the difficulty of associating with this Imposteral Saints Team.
Its now 20 games in and the situation is much worse, there is a state of apprehension walking up to the ticket turnstiles in what team is going to be selected, what effort they are going to put in, how boring is it going to be.
There is very little atmosphere now from Langtree Park any noise is coming from the confident away fans.
If this team carries on the way it is and they brought in relegation for 2014. This team would be under enormous pressure to avoid it based on what we have been offered so far.

I don't think throughout the game I even heard the saints fans chant, which I don't think helps the team at all. We were very vocal Friday night which always gives the team that extra boost. I would say there were about 500 of us compared to your 10,000 and maybe if you got behind your young team they would give a bit more effort. Not that, that is an excuse. As a HKR fan I know what your going through. Best of luck for the rest of the season.

Well, us in the West Stand were singing and chanting to start with. However, that pretty much stopped the moment Manu (I think it was) knocked on near the posts on about the second play of the match. Somehow we probably all knew what was about to happen ...

Away fans tend to be more vocal. It's the nature of the beast.

it's difficult to muster up atmosphere when your team is going through the motions (badly) and giving you nothing to get behind. The lack of cladding and unfilled corners also doesnt help the atmosphere. It might be shiny and new but LP is still a bit soul less for me.
