    I don’t blame you with that. Times are tough and people’s circumstances change.

    Hopefully we get a few good recruits in the next couple of weeks and we can pick back up again.

    I agree. I dont think its a case of 'Barnsley always do this/we always have up and downs' as some are saying. We are in gradual decline here and people should wake up and smell the proverbial. If things continue not to be stabilised and addressed we're div 2 next year at worst, bottom half L1 at best.

    You want to try and think how tough it was for US old timers in the 70s and early 80s .
    We didn't have a flounce and chuck our teddy's out.
    Yes it's tough following BFC , we know that.
    But we're still here that's what fans are, not glory fans for the good times.

    Well at least I hope that you will now stop complaining about BFC performances.

    Given that you will accrue no financial loss (which seems to be the most important thing to you) by watching us perform badly, and given that you will not be there in person to actually provide a portion of the income that any football club needs to receive to survive, it might perhaps be better not to bother providing your opinion.

    Remember that if we'd all secured a refund, there'd be nothing at all for you to spend your time griping about.

    Im quite happy to spend my money on us, it’s my club & I couldn’t imagine supporting any other! However I’m entitled to be unhappy with how things are being run behind the scenes by folk with no real connection to the club (Jean & James aside) , so much so that it goes beyond “thick & thin etc” I am entitled to vote with my feet given the support I have provided over the years. And above all I am entitled to still follow & be critical & of course praise the club when they get something right.

    The support that you have provided over the years is of no relevance.

    You paid your money for each particular season, and either got value or not. It does not transfer to the next season. As indeed you are demonstrating by withdrawing the financial support that the club relies upon.

    I should nod at this time with gratitude in the direction of those who seem to go to many an away game, no matter what. They are a breed without equal.

    It does not in my opinion look well upon you, to announce your withdrawal of funds from our club with some sense of achievement.

    I tend to restrict my interest to what we see on the pitch. We are in trouble at the moment and you are right to be unhappy.

    I mean it depends on your criteria. If you think that the team not playing great = a good reason to get a season ticket refund, then yeah great.
    It’s not helping the team either though, is it?

    I get the financial side as to why ppl can’t afford a season ticket but to have one and then choose not to go any particular season because you disagree with how things are being run or because the team are playing bad is just a crap excuse.

    Maybe season tickets were never for you in the first place because this is how is it underneath the premier league chaps.

    You get good seasons and bad.

    Luton we’re in the 5hit 10 years ago.

    A far worse place than where we are now too.

    All seems a bit fair weather to me. No doubt if the club ever had any success you’d be there gloating in it.

    Will never understand other than financial reasons why ppl give it back as a refund or choose not to renew based on opinions. That’s just my thoughts as like I say……I’ve seen it all.
