So you can deduct at least one from the attendance figure announced at the ground!

It's unlike you to not be "In The Mood". XD

I will be renewing - Whenever I consider not doing the wife tells me it is her only respite from me and insists i carry on regardless.

I remember doing a post a couple years ago about now being the best time to be a Miller....new stadium,football in the 2nd tier,a manager who cared,etc,etc,I think one or two agreed.
So now it`s not so good,but it isn`t as bad as some would have you believe,just remomber most of the 70`s and a fair bit of the 80`s,plus all the sh`t we went through earlier this century,I think we have been spoilt for the last 12 years.
I`ve got to renew anyway as I turn 60 in June,so I`m not missing out on the old B*stard discount !

I don’t see myself as a customer, I’m a fan and supporter. like a family, they are for life.
Will I be renewing my season ticket, of course I will.

Things will not change until the club has new owners. Tony Stewart has used up all his goodwill.

I noticed John 2 is not replying to your post ! Perhaps he goes or maybe not ? The point is it?s been a chore dragging yourself to the games this season and that follows on from a shocker the year previous. Surely we watch football for the highs and lows, pleasure , enjoyment,disappointments, drama ? It?s been sadly missing this season ? Apart from a great performance against Charlton and a good one against Bolton it?s been poor ? How many games have we never looked like scoring, Barnsley stands out, 10 minutes stoppage time never resulted in an effort on target ! and there were many games like this ? being demolished with teams such as Burton and others in the bottom 4.
Fundamentally I can?t see any likely improvement next season, our budgets blown with two year contracts for the likes of JCH, Kelly and Dawson who have managed only a handful of of games between them. Hughil weighs heavy on our wages, the only money we will get to spend is the wages of Oddofin, Humphries, Green and Wilkes who will all be leaving this summer?
SE has managed to oversea a totally unbalanced team with no wingers, no natural goal scorer, no pace anywhere in sight and a real dearth of defenders ! We have been playing recently with three midfielders in the back four and even if Raggett was fit, we would only have one spare defender, put simply it?s a shambles,
How can it change next season ? we have nobody left to sell to raise cash and no prospects coming through ? never been as bereft of ability going back as far as the last 40 years?

and who's to blame for ALL of this over the past 3 years?

Like Millersrus, I too will be renewing as always.

Before anybody renews their season ticket, we should at the very least, have an explanation from the club, why this manager is still here.TS has sacked previous managers for a lot less while we were in the Championship, which was a tough league.We are now playing in a very poor league but still struggling to win games even at this level, with no sign of progress at all.The club needs a complete change in the way it is run.Fans are not convinced we will see any changes under the current ownership but we live in hope.

And some folk don't care about communicating or the way it's run as long as we win games and are getting promotions...
Some fans are happy with TS running the club as long as we win games and get promoted.
Nobody in the stands likes SE as the manager. But would be happy if we win games and get prompted.
This season we go from booos to Steve Evans red and white army.. simply by going from pizz poor to playing well
The last 12 years has spoilt us as millers fans where we think we should be and in reality where we are.
Fans who want a youth system and stability of young players who can be sold for a profit are delusional. This has never happened at rufc and never will.
Again the last 12 years have seen us sell buy and develop more than we ever have before and still fans are not happy.
