| Everyone is obviously entitled to make their own choice whether to buy a pass or not. However, that doesn't automatically grant immunity from people questioning the reasoning behind that decision (either way).

Paid for mine too,these times are a piece of cake compared to some of the times in the 60s and 70s.when there was winter rugby, ginger groups, club on the verge of extinction.Sure we have had a poor season (again) and so it is up to the individual whether they buy a pass or not.

Here we go again, back a couple of days and causing grief.
Nobody is celebrating mediocrity. We've been largely awful for seven years and it es us off but if wasn't for people continuing to part with their hard earned cash supporting the club through the turnstiles there'd be no club left.

how is having an opinion "causing grief"?
as I say, pay your money if you wish, but don't be blind as to say we're anything other than a poor team. A poor team that pay TOP DOLLAR for some rubbish players.
We all hope 2015 will be better I am sure.

Two trophies up for grabs each year. So 12 or 13 "companies" that don't deliver, surely?
I'm not celebrating, the season's been poor. I want FC to succeed. Adam Pearson doesn't have bottomless pockets. I want to contribute to our chances of success. In my opinion the best way I can do that is financially through buying 4 passes. To spend hours slating the coach and banging on about not buying a pass achieves what? What evidence do you have that this "statement" is delivering the change you want?
Your support of the club is conditional, I get that. Mine is less so.

You bandy about words like "celebrating mediocrity" when clearly no-one is doing anything of the sort.
I've never suggested that we're anything other than a poor team.
It would appear that we have made some shocking decisions with regards contracts in the recent past. Hopefully things are changing.

change doesn't happen by accident, it needs to be encouraged, I guess there is a middle ground somewhere

| The decision to buy a season pass or not is a personal one and nobody has the right to criticise somebody for making a personal choice. I'm fortunate enough to have the disposable income to buy a pass and the personal circumstances to allow me the time to attend games. However, watching the Rugby is one of many leisure activities for me and in recent years the appeal has diminished to the point that the main reason I go is for the social element of me and the wife meeting up with the father-in-law and a few friends. The number of away games we attend has already dropped off but I suspect we will always continue to renew our passes. It's all very well saying true fans (whatever that means) will always buy a pass but for a lot of people the rugby is not an obsession but a leisure activity and they will drift away if the product is poor. I'm sure AP is well aware we have a hardcore of support and to a certain extent he can just forget about those (whilst fully appreciating them) and concentrate on the floating support. That floating support see the rugby as a leisure activity and not a passion so telling them are not a true supporter if they dont renew is meaningless. Get the product right on the pitch and they will allocate some of that precious leisure time to the rugby. Get it wrong and they will look for other things to do. It's already happening.
Having said all that I'll be renewing this week.

| Well my form is sent away for my new season ticket. Already looking forward to the new season, 150 years to make it that little bit more special. Also, my eldest lad(8 years old) came to a few games with me this season, only seen his side win once in 3 times of going and he wants a season ticket for next season...so Offy and Mini Offy will be there singing in the east stand again.

See even as a Rovers fan I agree we don't support mediocracy. We support the team, always have always will. I can give you a thousand reasons Standee why we question our sanity every time our teams are fecking woeful and we say never again. But we do and always will. Its a passion that just wont die. Its a bitch.

So if nobody pays to watch and the ground is empty the team will be more successful. That's what your saying?

any business needs to learn what the customers want, not sound bites and rhetoric in the press.
