    I know where they can put there early bird offer this season if they bother to offer it. I want to see the direction of travel the board take before I put any more cash into the club.

    I'm renewing.

    But that Birmingham home game has knocked the **** out of me. I was freezing cold, wet, and miserable as sin, all three things more extreme than anything I've known at a game.

    I've still not properly warmed up, and I haven't got over the sense of futility I felt that night. What am I doing with my time? My money, that I acquire by slogging through a job I hate?

    It isn't just Barnsley FC. It's life, and where I currently am in it.

    I'll do the home games, but I'm certainly not paying financially-doped Championship clubs in excess of thirty quid (and giving up half my weekend) to watch them cheat their way to three points by fielding players they can't afford (edit, away from home). Fvck them. And when the reaper comes for them - Sheffield Wednesday, Derby - then that's just so much karma.

    No chance. Never leave a game early. I was back in Sheffield before 5pm.
    Usually go to around half the away games. I’ve been to one.
    I don’t really blame the players, but i just feel the whole thing is pointless. The management take us for mugs.
    This week’s interview with Dane too little too late and just a token gesture.
    Never ever felt so detached. Just really can’t find any enthusiasm at all. Blame lies entirely with the management.
    Feel totally sorry for people like Beth who is doing more to promote our football club in her own spare time on Twitter than our CEO or those above. Not sure I’ll even bother again this season.

    I always said that I would renew, but after today I am very seriously considering my options. I travel a 150 mile round trip to watch them, and whilst there are others who I am sure travel further, the performance and commitment today from the team was severely lacking. I left immediately after the 2nd goal as I knew it was over as a contest, if that’s the right turn of phrase, because we never looked like scoring from the start of the game to that moment. I will have to do some very deep sole searching come renewal.

    I really hope that someone at the club reads your post, mine, and others like them. And then tries to make a difference. However, I suspect that the people at the club who care about the fans don't overlap with the people at the club with the power to make a difference.

    Whilst I'm well down after today's performance not renewing has never crossed my mind.
    I'm not bothered about communications or the lack of them from the board. I survived the Doyle era when I was much more concerned about the owner's motives so another relegation isn't a deal breaker.
    However if anybody with a nice sheltered seat in the ESL on the halfway line is thinking of not renewing then you should go for it.
    And let me know when you do.

    I'm in the ESL, back row, but I am definitely renewing. I know I am going to attend the matches (circumstances permitting) , so I might as well purchase at the cheapest rate.

    It’s a no from me but felt that for months, the owners don’t give a stuff about us, the club, the town. We’re just an asset in their portfolio for them to experiment at English football club ownership. I’ll still go to a few, its in the blood, but am not paying up front to fund their project.

    The loyal fans who renewed under the 'early bird' scheme last year have been absolutely and utterly shafted by this Board of Directors. I grow tired of hearing people say that there was nothing that could be done to prevent contracted players going elsewhere before suitable replacements were identified. It's nonsense. I hope that anyone renewing this time around will not be expecting to see Alex, Cauley, Jacob or Connor come August. Probably more chance of a giant bouncy castle being erected in the middle of the South Stand Car Park selling ale.

    if they have alienated you that much then it’s definitely serious.

    They could offer to pick me up pre match in a chauffeur driven limousine, ply me with the finest champagne, take me for a full English breakfast with hash browns and black pudding, take me into the players changing rooms to be introduced to our team, lead me into the board room whereupon a Sofia Vergara lookalike performed fellatio on me whilst a Jennifer Aniston lookalike mixed me a large G&T, take me to my specially fitted Layzboy seat in the directors box, watch us lose to Lincoln City 0-5 then take me around town for post match mingling with the great unwashed, pissed, sated, and full as a butchers terrier, ferry me home, carry up to feather, plump up me pillows and read me a story til I fall into a dreamless, restful slumber and quite honestly I think I would turn down the offer of a season ticket
