Who's Renewed their Season ticket?

I've renewed my Celtic ones. I'm looking forward with dread to another season arguing with the man sitting behind me about the merits of the team and the manager.

What's surprised me most is that I thought I would be having second thoughts by now, but I'm not.
I'll be going to watch London Wasps (sorry Georgie, Wycombe Wasps) a few times next season as my Dad played for them many years ago.
I regularly go and see the mighty Sunderland as often as possible. And apart from being still,one of the worst places to visit out of all the London clubs, WHU is also the most expensive for away fans!!

I'm curious as to why West Ham is such a bad awayday? I've often chatted to Sunderland fans, before and after a game at upton park and they've never had any problems. As for the prices, couldn't agree more, however unlike at some grounds(Birmingham springs to mind) they charge the same for home fans as away fans.

Haven't renewed but I have got a season ticket at Nottingham Forest along with my old man.

Used to go to as many games as I could in previous years but now I've got a car and more money I can afford even more punishment.

I'll be going to Nottingham Forrest away this season. I havent been there since 2000 i think it was and the game eneded in a draw. 1-1 I love forrest for the ppl the've produced Clough, Pearce, Roy keane.

...And Luton !!

Got mine for 'Dale and even though we nearly managed the elusive "P" word last year via the play offs im not very confident of us doing any better this year.

Playoffs again at best i think.

I'll be making use of my Forest season ticket for the first time tomorrow.

The main feeling inside me now is somewhere between excitement and sheer terror.

Cheers mate, I fancy us to have another season of mid table mediocrity, as for Tevez he'll always get a good reception at Upton Park.
