I do not anticipate renewing at the moment but that may change, partly dependent on any club ownership change. However my main reason would be financial rather than football. Driving from NE Hants will be very expensive next season with petrol prices likely to escalate to unbelievable heights with the unrest in the middle east. I will down to a few though and local (to me) away games.
For richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, I'll always be a Green and so will my two boys. Three renewals next season.

Not the simple question it may seem, Immediate answer is Yes of course I will renew, they are my club, and have been the focus of my weekends for years, and the beers before and after, the banter on the "free" bus, have all shaped my Saturdays, and I would miss all of that.
But then I think how completely wretched I felt sat there at the Tranmere game, I left that game vowing that I would not attend the next, without guilt, as they have had my money, but I can choose how I spend my time. I then found out it was forces day, so as son of RAF, ex RAF, and with a son in the RAF, I cannot turn my back on this one!
I just hope that when the dust settles, we have a new beginning, albeit in L2, with the current bad smells blown out of the place, and can again enjoy the anticipation of a new season of being at least competitive, and actually look forward to going to the football, instead of thinking of it as smething we must suffer for the cause!
Onward and Upward - see you Saturday (and most likely next season!)

do new owners have to honour the 5% year on year decrease?
Surely a league 2 season ticket will be cheaper anyway? We're still playing championship prices as it is.
I was angry monday and considered not renewing but the truth is i don't think i can do it.
I think a number of factors need to be weighed up.
Firstly it would depend on who is in charge. If it is Stapleton, Ridsdale or both then its a definite no.
Secondly the price is important. I wasn't happy with the price of season tickets at the beginning of this season. However I still paid up. They should have been a good 20% cheaper than they were. Taking into account this and another decrease for another relegation then only a reduction in price of at least 40% would persuade me they were value for money.
Finally, do I enjoy watching Argyle anymore? The answer in short for the previous 3-4 years is a resounding no. Having a season ticket has forced me to go along when really it was the last thing I wanted to do. Tuesdays nights for example are a horrible rush and I often end up missing kick off anyway.
In conclusion I am leaning towards not renewing my season ticket for an 11th season. My current plan is to attend about 10 home matches and a couple away. That way I only have to go when I actually want to and I might well end up saving some much needed cash.

I was hoping for both a reduction and 10% discount, but I guess that's about as likely as £500k from Japan. I actually didn't bother to go to the Tranmere game, partly because I was squeezed for time, but also because I am reaching the end of my tether. So I'm now paying not to watch Argyle.
I'll be there for more punishment on Saturday, although in all the 40 odd years I've supported the club, it's never been as bad as this. I have no confidence in the players and even less in the management and I have no reason to see any improvement next season.
I'll renew.
