So have i..
@Baldybonce_JNR has now got what it is to be Charlton and i want to be there to share it with him.
we'd still like Roland to bugger off though.13 -
Yep i weakened as well.
At the end of the day this is our club not his .
Total respect to everyone who has renewed and all those boycotting we all want the same thing and he won't be here forever.8 -
I'm still holding out - nothing to do with a 450 mile round trip!!
(will be going to the Pompey game though)1 -

I must admit that I am really weakening and feeling the pull of a season ticket increasing almost every day even though I have only been too two games at home in 18 months1

You are a sillybilly;)Sillybilly said:Hope it isn't against my better judgement but I am once again a season ticket holder. I've really enjoyed the start to the season and have persuaded myself that this is for me and not for Roland. Have to say the ticket office were first class. Discounted the game I've already paid for and done and dusted in five minutes. We travel hopefully.......
I admit it's tempting.
Great start and by the sounds of it, good performances, had it not been for the Plymouth blip, we could be top.
But as the transfer window showed, Roly clearly doesn't want to get his purse out to cement the promising signs the team are showing. Had he done that, then I may well have been joining you.
Early days and let's hope it continues, if it does then.............. but not a season ticket, that's a step too far.0 -

The protests have not gone away they are merely being put on hold until needed3 -
I think RD has facilitated an excellent squad at a reasonable cost, surely better than having a comparable squad that may have added millions to the debt ?sillav nitram said:

I honestly believe we went for Grigg, Taylor and had a deal agreed for Godden, only for Stevenage to welch on the deal and massively hike the price on deadline day. So I'll respectfully disagree, in as much as I think we've done excellent value business and the fact that we didn't get our final striker was down to Stevenage and not us.
I may be wrong, but that's what I believe, based on everything I've read.7 -
Must admit I'm under increasing pressure from my boys to buy season tickets. I'm just filling out paperwork to send them off to boarding school.19

I don't think anyone deciding to buy a season ticket should be vilified. It's everyone's own choice. I am not going back to watch Charlton at the Valley until they're gone. But it's up to other people to do what they think right.
However, I do think it's utterly ridiculous to try to defend RD in any way whatsoever. The guy is cancerous. He's a dangerous parasite. He will be the sole subject of the chapter in Charlton's history that looks at the biggest, costliest, stupidest, most avoidable mistakes. For anyone trying to defend him on the basis that - somehow - Charlton have managed to assemble a half-decent League One squad, that is *exactly* what I would criticise him for. Charlton are at best half decent and we're in League One. And it is *all* his fault.
So, by all means go and support the team - your team - our team. Sympathise when they lose and celebrate when they win. But please don't give RD any credit for any of the successes we might have in this league. Before he arrived, we weren't in this league.35 -
I don't get the rush to commit to a season ticket after a few wins and I've had one for years before this season. Not really difficult to get tickets at the moment if you want to.4

We did that last season and probably gave them more than if we'd bought season tickets.Nug said:I don't get the rush to commit to a season ticket after a few wins and I've had one for years before this season. Not really difficult to get tickets at the moment if you want to.

I think people hugely overestimate the number of fans who are 'boycotting', and in turn the depth of the 'never go again until they are gone' crew.
To get to the latter its the most extreme of reaction, generally one of the responses of those who also love the club the most to then generate such an angry response. It seems magnified because these people are died in the wool fans and more likely to be active on social media.
But the actual number that fall under this category are relatively small in the grand scheme of themes

How small? What proportion of the thousands that have stopped buying season tickets are in the category "not going again until they're gone"?AFKABartram said:I think people hugely overestimate the number of fans who are 'boycotting', and in turn the depth of the 'never go again until they are gone' crew.

Like you and everyone else, I don't know. But just on my own experiences of people I know and observing this forum and Twitter, I think it's quite a small number.Chizz said:

People have drifted away in their thousands over the last few years mainly because the turn out on the pitch has been consistently poor and been magnified by the off the field problems. But those that fall into the 'that's it, never again till their gone' camp I think is relatively small (i.e. in their tens not hundreds).
Just my view, maybe wrong6 -

When Katrien starts poking her nose in again will do for me.0 -
But they are poking noses in.
I shouldn't think it was Robinson's idea to go it alone with one striker who for the next few months will be missing games for international s
Ok we have a couple of other strikers but how many games they played between them0 -
The football starts in a minute..0

Sorry, I thought you might have had some kind of survey data and that CACT or @Airman Brown might have had some insight.AFKABartram said:

Can't argue with your perception. But mine is that it's very much more than tens or hundreds.1 -
I'm going to the next Tuesday home game at my daughter's request. I'm looking forward to it because I hope we play well and win, but just as much for old time's sake.
No season ticket though.0 -
I was thinking that the title was about another protest in Belgium but no all about season tickets and people slowly drifting back into The Valley once again. 6 months today we marched on Roland in his home town,it will happen once again Roland. Make the most of the good start we have had its only time until you cock it up again.
Only seen 3 home games in the last two an ahalf years but been to many away games during that time.
Do what you think is correct for you and your family.
