    For those of us who bought Season Tickets are we getting value for money this Season?

    Performance wise on the field of play definitely not!

    And that is why I didn't purchase one.

    An improvement in performances and results between now and the end of the season will probably result in me re purchasing one.

    Yes. I'm saving considerably less than I would if I was to buy a ticket for the game. And I'm one of those people who look forward to the game on a Saturday regardless of our performances or form. Some of the displays have been abysmal this season, however it doesn't prevent me from going every week and I'm gutted I can't make it to the Oldham game.

    Definitely. There's been plenty of goals at Oakwell this season and in the most part turning up has been less of a chore than in recent years.

    Would have been better for me to have got a season ticket ive shelled out more on going games paying on day spurr of moment. Which is strange because I havemt been for past two seasons much in championship think its because then I always expected us to lose now I expect us to win and at least be competitive. A good second half and Ill be aft one for next season.

    Yes. I'm enjoying my football at Oakwell as much as when I first went down there as a kid in the 1960's. I believe that the current policy of recruitment is the right one for the long term benefit of the club, although it can be a little frustrating at times short term. I enjoy the company of my friends at the games, even if I don't always agree with them. Also, the savings achieved by purchasing a season ticket are huge when compared to pay on the day prices.

    Definitely. 12 league games so far at Oakwell and 44 goals. 3.6 per game. And despite the hammerings we've taken, we've scored more than we've conceded, 23 to 21. So just less than 2 per game scored. I wish we'd won more, but it's football, we've no divine right to win. We've now won as many as we've lost at home and I'm hopeful, with the new additions, we can now make Oakwell a bit of a fortress. There were a few games when the injuries kicked in that weren't up to much (Scunny, Donny and Chester) but for the most part the entertainment has been bang on this season and we've played well in the majority of games. We've defended poorly at times too like, but I've enjoyed the games and seen some positives even when we've lost.

    Out of interest, as a non season ticket holder how are you entitled to answer this question?

    I've enjoyed many a game at Oakwell this season, already more than last, so value for money wise it has been worth it.

    Most definitely. Like the way the club is going and I have bags of patience for the young lads starting their careers. Get annoyed with our boo boys - but they've paid their money and if their view is their boos will assist the players so be it.

    We may not be pulling up many trees, but I am enjoying it and hopefully things are taking shape.

    And I am happy that it appears that my money is now going to a longer term plan, than the short termism

    It's not renewal time yet. When that comes around we can all say how rubbish it's been and demand a discount.
