I had mine since Sellout Park, 22 years. Haven't renewed yet, wanting to change seats. Two different seats since our return. Lower North & Upper North.
38 years continually. Trainspotter that I am have kept all the 'stubs' too, 'ground' ST holder everywhere until we could only sit down after standing was stopped. The odd season or two before that. Regular attender since 1963.
Think I got my first one in 76-7, funny enough I was round my parents house at the weekend and my Dad had unearthed a couple of my S/T books from that era. Seem to remember not getting one one year at Selhurst as I forgot to renew it or was skint at the time. It didn't present that much of a problem as there was no difficulty getting in on the day for games down there! Been in the North lower and upper since we went back, used to stand/sit all over the place pre-selhurst as I used to get a ground S/T which let you in everywhere bar the West Stand - which always looked like it was going to fall down in those days.

this'll be my 30th Year on the bounce.....have had s/tkts in the following areas.
1) original valley West Stand with Dad 2) 'ground' s/tkt (anywhere but the west I think you could go) 3) Shitehurst sainsbury's terrace 4) Shitehurst Arthur Wait enclosure 5) Upton Park North Terrace 6) North Lower Block E (same seat since valley return) 7) ......soon to probably be North Upper (although I do like the view from the NW quadrant)

since our return to the valley have sat in north, east, west upper and north upper.
Due to money reasons only managed to borrow mateds or get freebies for quite a few before that
However prior to season 2004/5 my family clubbed together and I was treated to one for my daughter and myself as birthday present.
I have (somehow) managed to pay for them every season since including the one to come.
I know someone whose had one every year since 1964
Never needed on before that to be honest

Its only a general question I'm not asking anything personal like how old you are?
LOL!

That sounds quality !! I wish you could do that now, I'd sit in a different area every game !
