Rinse and repeat for almost everything with the club.

I had 3 emails for me and my two kids, so I would need to set up log in for all 3 if I renewed?

I emailed the club requesting the cost of on the day match tickets and they said they will be released in due course, how can anyone sign up to a season ticket if they do not actually know the financial benefits to it?

That's the way I've interpreted it. Because your name is against your tixr account and I couldn't see anywhere to add a name to a ticket. So surely if you try to buy all 3 on one account they'd all be in your name? Also each email link appears to require a separate checkout and basket, couldn't get it to add both to a single basket so I could pay all at once.

Tried to renew yesterday evening (had been deliberating) but the loyalty discount expired at 19.00 even though I'd received an email from the club earlier stating I had until 23.59. So I didn't bother and have emailed the club to ask for an explanation..not expecting too much back tbh.

They did say it was valid until midnight so no reason why there should have been a problem and hope they will come back to you on that but if you don’t hear you should phone them on Monday to sort it out.

First time without a season ticket for 25+ years, soon they’ll have to start listening and stop the silence for fans and some might return but I don’t see it.

I've bought one as less than 11 quid a game I feel like I can afford to miss 5 or 6. Could end being more. I like the look of some of the away trips this season but that's more for the laugh than for the football.

I'm not sure anything will shock the owners into life, not because they're malicious but because they seem totally incompetent. I don't think they have any idea how to fix it. Even little things like moving to a new-tech season ticket provider - yes it sounds good and probably works great for younger fans, but plenty of older fans I know can't get to grips with it. I know the club will help if people ask but we should be proactive.

We've got probably 3-4 weeks to sort out loads of things to make up ground on other clubs. A manager, friendlies, the retained list, new contracts for people like Phipps hopefully, new signings, setting up trials, pre season training schedule, new kit, flogging more tickets, sponsors. I have little faith it can happen as recent history tells us that they're not capable.

Fair enough they're putting their money in. Nobody can expect people to just fund our club continually and these days it seems no club can survive without it. But they're just throwing their money away if they keep making such bad decisions.

Yes, hopefully it won't be 'Computer says no'..

Did you manage to sort out your ticket?

I had the same issue - I went to renew my ticket at 8.30pm on Friday and realised at that point that the Tixr email link was set to expire at 7pm and it wasn't working.

Anyway I went ahead and paid the £275, and emailed the club shop to explain the problem. They replied back on Monday morning, and they have credited the difference (£27.50) back to my card without any fuss.

A bit of good news on here now we just need a manager!

Just appointed a manager but I’m still not renewing my season ticket this year, going to take a lot to persuade me otherwise after last season’s debacle.

With the appointment of Lee Bradbury as manager and proposed new owners awaiting confirmation, the club look a lot different from last season. We cannot know at this point whether or not things will be improved on the pitch until well into the season but on paper it looks a lot more promising which is at least encouraging.

In view of the changes made and some new players signed just wondered if those fans that had decided not to renew their season tickets had now considered otherwise?

I haven’t changed my mind about renewing, reason being that despite a new manager and some decent looking signings im not prepared to stand on cold winter days and evenings watching NLS nothing teams, I still intend going to a lot of games home and away but I’m going to be deciding on the day, a consequence of the mismanagement of last season

I probably wouldn't have renewed but they wanted more money to force me to sit behind the goal watching lower grade football
