I'm not renewing. Despite my front row seat that some other wanker will snaffle up. I'll go to the odd game. No more. When this bunch sell up I'll buy a season ticket.
Yes it's a ball ache some asshole (including free passes) may take your seats. Possible anyway.
I'm with @Sillybilly and multiple others on this, the risk is low someone is going to nick your seat and the prize is high...
My wife and I are West Stand ST holders and Millennium Suite members. In protest, next season we will be moving to North Stand Lower with no lounge. Loss to the club of well over £1000.

In my view this is a much better gesture - the lower north pricing is something to be encouraged/taken advantage of. 3,400 of us in the lower north next season is a win/win scenario and far better than just more empty seats where the football world will just think the absentees are fickle fans, not 'boycotters'

Sounds good, but a high chance you are moving to someone else's seat. This action could create panic and a higher take up and is still giving money to Roland. Hopefully new owners will allow supporters to upgrade tickets but I do think we should all support the boycott of buying ST. Completed survey for me but not able to include other4 I will not be buying.

It ain't someone else's seat if they haven't renewed !
They are not offering anyone else's seats yet....only current empty ones
Point taken. I was wrong. But the point has validity because I suspect that quite a few were looking to move there, especially those who purchased the East stand value tickets last season. If everyone does not renew we will all have the chance to buy the tickets we want when a new owner arrives. No support = no club. Administration or selling will be the only options. We have to risk all to get our club back.

First come, first served. If fans want to take advantage of the cheap season ticket in the lower north they should do so. It's a positive move to price it at that level. Hopefully it sells out and if sales are shit in the rest of the ground Roland then drops the prices in those stands as well. And as for the bollox about risking all, ffs, I thought the protest was all about trying to move the club forward positively, not destroying it.

Sometimes, to move forward, you have to take a step or two back and take risks as I am by not renewing yet.
1700 so far - about 1300 of which are current ST holders. Statistically a very robust response, but be good to get many more
I am not doubting you at all, but just wondered how acurate these figures are? Im actually surprised that, that many have already been sold to be honest. With League 1 firmly staring us in the face surely we can't be looking at more than 4000 being sold in total?
Looking at the most recent stats i can find on season ticket numbers for all clubs, that would put us on par with Doncaster, Chesterfield and Swindon.

So if you haven't yet, please spare a couple of mins: castrust.org/2016/04/season-ticket-renewal-survey/
Is there anything which can be shared already?
Please continue to encourage people to do it -trying to reach as many as possible, especially those not that engaged on forums/ social media.
