One Thing That Isn’t Going Up Or Down .

Should be half price. ******* rip off.

 

They should extend the young person category to 19-25. Even those young people who manage to find a job straight after they finish their education will struggle to pay the full adult fee. I raise this with the club every year and every year they politely tell me to f***off.

 

The only thing going up at Watford next season is my blood pressure.

 

Where's your ****ing waiting list...
Repeat

 

My kids want to go, but I might get a ST to Watford Ladies instead.

 

I expect I'll renew as it's £611 for a family of 4 in the Family Stand. Kids are £35 each so barely the price of 4 games.

I fully expect sales to drop overall.

Remember when the club started posturing about season ticket holders skipping games, threatening to stop renewals...

 

Haha. Duxbury is watching you.

 

This season I have stopped going, the football is insipid and there is a feeling of disconnection with the club.

The utter contempt that gino and duxburry show towards the fans and their incompetence in (bordering on criminal) running the club has me make a very sad decision. For the first time in 23 years I shall not renew.

**** the Pozzo.

I shall return once gino leaves, whatever lowly division that will see us in.

 

Well, at least they're polite about it.

 

Don’t forget about our debt!

 

Wasn't it skip 2 or more games and you got a warning?!

Half the ground looks empty most games nowadays!

I still email the release my seat address every time I miss a game. I'm not entirely sure they even do anything with that information anymore. Do they re release it, mark me as non attendance?!

Who knows.

 

Can't believe any of our fans have been going for entertainment value!

I blame Zola for getting peoples hopes up.

 

Wonder what our actual attendances are, rather than the official ones that count all the empty season ticket holder seats?

Definitely been a few this season where I'd estimate closer to 15,000. Sell all our best players in the summer and think we could easily be looking at about 12,000 if we're plodding along in 13th/14th next season.

 

It was a problem though. It's obviously highly ironic given where they're likely to find themselves on season ticket renewal numbers come July. But as someone who didn't have a ST in the 2015-20 PL seasons I can only say it was farking annoying to have to scrap around and pay a premium for the dross seats at the bottom or hanging off the end of a stand, just to see loads of decent ST seats sat empty game in, game out. And frankly the people it was most likely to poke in the eye were the "I support Arsenal, Watford and Saracens" hangers on, so no harm there.

 

I reckon we've been in the 13,000s for a couple of home games I've been to recently. Wigan especially stands out given the low away attendance.

 

I agree with all of this, but those of us that do not renew (myself included) will no doubt just be labelled as "Fair weather supporters".

 

I'll be renewing as I imagine I will every year until I'm physically not able to go. Things not good currently but football has changed as a whole and not just at Watford. Blooming fair weather supporters

 

That’s not true of our fundamental issues though is it? For starters having 3 managers every season is somewhat of an outlier in football, ask anyone why they aren’t renewing and you’d be hard pressed to find someone saying “because football has changed”. It’s fine that you don’t want to renew because you can see past this, but don’t brush it under the carpet as what happens at our club being the norm for those who don’t want to, it really isn’t.

 

Direct debits keep rolling so make sure to cancel after June payment so stop any more of your cash going to Pozzo!

 

In a few years time every club will have three managers a season. Gino, as usual, is ahead of the game.

 

And every club will have at least 25% of PL clubs managed by their ex managers, it’s just modern football.

 

Football in general has changed with all the money and the cheating etc. That's what I don't like. The manager thing at Watford is completely ludicrous but I see people saying they won't renew because of the lack of connection to the club. That's not just Watford, that's more like the norm now and probably won't change even if Gino left and we got a new owner

 

That’s not the norm, that’s called self deception.

 

But who is the more deserving fan here, someone who had the wherewithal to pony up and buy a season ticket even if they don’t go to every game, or someone who just wants to go occasionally?

From the clubs perspective It looks especially daft to have treated the former in such a way in hindsight, when they’d chew their right arm off for them next season and there will be plenty of seats for the fair weather fans.

 

I'd say neither is more deserving. Both should have the opportunity to book seats if they want them. Why should I as a genuinely long term fan (who at the time couldn't justify having a ST) have to sit in a pisspoor seat for (say) Cardiff at home while all around there are empty ST seats, a proportion of which would only have someone sat on them if the billy big b0llocks teams are in town?

I get what you're saying but my comments weren't aimed at season ticket holders who don't go to every game. The people I'm talking about aren't here now, let alone next season. They cancelled their season tickets the second we went down as there's no top 6 teams rolling into town to watch any more.

 

I was completely the opposite. Cardiff at home? Great. Do I want to see Sterling rip Cathcart a new one? Less so.

 

‘Here’s to you Pozzo Family, Watford loves you more than you will know’

 

Makes getting my tooth pulled out for £300 this evening seem cheap. Will probably be more enjoyable as a season at WFC as well..

 

Unfortunately I think it is at a lot of clubs. You only have to listen to any football phone in radio show to hear other fans saying much the same thing. That isn't to excuse Pozzo Jr or his slimy sidekick, Fuxbury, but I don't think we're unique in no longer feeling engaged with the team or the people running it
