    Hardest decision I ever made....

    .... but proving to be the best.

    Going to the game this season must be like visiting an old relative who no longer recognises you, but, out of love you feel you simply have to keep visiting.

    You do all you can, take time off work, miss holidays and events and save your money up just to make the painful visit every 2nd week. The doctors tell you there is a real chance of a full recovery, but, despite a 10 yr vigil. It looks increasingly bad for your loved one. A little thinking outside of the box draws you to the conclusion that for a full recovery to happen, you must stop visiting as your visits confuse the patient.

    It is a gamble, because, if it doesn't work, you will never see your loved one again, but, should it work, those wonderful memories can become reality again.

    My relative is ailing, but the lousy doctor is showing signs of weakness.

    Hopefully we can get a new doctor in soon, and after a referral and a second opinion, there may be chance of a recovery and I may re-start my visits.

    But, I am putting my time to good use. I miss my loved one, but time is a great healer.

    I am still hoping it will all work out.

    Well put mate, my next door neighbour has 3 season tickets and their not renewing after 40 years

    You will find a lot of existing season ticket holders not renewing and there won’t be many new supporters buying into the current regime.

    i would never stop going to see an elderly relative
    not if i even couldnt afford the taxi or my missuus said i couldnt

    the real fanswill be able to look upon the plastics if and when we get a new owner who may do more than ash and may give more money to an manager with a clue and ask
    where were you when we were sh173

    im glad people such as yourself give your tickets up
    it means a more deserving fan can have your seat and do what a fan does
    watch the team

    not the regime


    to may money experts dot com and not enough real fans

    looser

    im sure you have been missed
