    I wonder if we would be so happy to renew our season tickets if we were struggling at the bottom, l wonder if we would be so happy if we had sold Mowatt/Styles at Xmas instead of close season, as expected. I wonder if we would be so happy if we weren’t so euphoric with the clubs present status. We have either a very clever, or very lucky board.
    The cynic in me says that the one months early extra time for earlybird tickets is to pull in as many ‘holders’ as possible while we have a sniff of ‘premiership football’. After all we have paid for one season of ifollow football already, would we be happy to pay for a second because this could still be a real possibility.
    They say it’s to reward our loyalty by giving us more time to save/plan. Really!
    There’s also no mention of the ‘extra’ game tickets carried over from 2019/20 we accepted instead of a refund.
    Having said all that the prices are great value, and l shall of course renew, but the jury is still to reach an agreement re the sincerity of our board.

    I'll renew regardless but I think prices are very fair for Championship football and that is the minimum guaranteed for next season.

    I'd have renewed whatever the situation. I want my club to survive. Loyalty is what is required as and when people are able to.

    We will fight, fight, fight for Barn-ser-ley till we win the Football league :)

    For years there’s been negative comments about late confirmation and offers and now they do it early you’re seeing that as a negative?

    Of course, like with any business, they are making the offer when they are most likely to sell based on current feel good factors but it’s not as though they’ve made up some strange 10 year offer like the S6 brigade.

    damned if you do, damned if you don’t I guess

    I would have, i'm so bored i'd have renewed my ticket even if we'd lost every game 10-0 as it would give me something do next season.

    I, along with many others, bought 20/21 season tickets not knowing which league we would be in so either way I would have renewed for next season. There are not many teams in the football league who have been as good as BFC have over the last 12 months and that alone deserves my loyalty.
