| Who would carry on going? Who would buy a ST?
I would expect and hope for prices to be slashed in half, if not more.

| I couldn't afford this year's ST, but still bought one. If we're relegated, and if my financial situation hasn't improved, I definitely wouldn't get one. Just go to selected matches and pay on the day.
Which would feel really sad, like the end of a love affair. |

| I'm away from Plymouth every other weekend and when I'm home it's not always easy to attend owing to other commitments, but if I could attend on a regular basis I probably would buy a season ticket as long I was convinced that the owners had their heart in the right place. Ask me again on Tuesday after the January transfer window closes! |

| May get one but not if Carl Fletcher is still the manager. |

| I would have gone to HP and followed a reborn club owned by the fans trying to claw it's way back up through the non league. I won't turn up to HP to support a rich banker owning Argyle in the Conference ... while his main interest in building hotels. |

| No, I didn't get one this year because of the Riddlers presence and what a liberating experience it's proved to be. The decision whether to go now is totally mine and not influenced by being a tight git and having to go because I'd paid for it. The next ST will be when there's some glory to be seeked. |

| I'd seriously have to re-consider following a football team at all.
It is hard enough as an exile following Argyle, confused looks from anyone who asks, lack of knowledge about any of our players (I wouldn't even be able to tell you what colour skin Jake Cole has), financial (screw the replica shirt, screw travelling long distances to games to watch Conference football) and time constraints (how much of my time do I waste on here?).
After the last 4 years we've had, I just want a break. |

You just have to learn to control it, so it doesn't hurt too much. If you're an Aviva, where there's no sense, there's no feeling, you simply enjoy the ride ! Geddon yuh Janner ! I view the pics on GOS and it's increasingly becoming a repetitive freak show. Right Big Dave ? Right burrrrd ? |

| If I was staying, then yes. To be honest, I'd find non-league football quite a laugh. The way the game in general has gone since 1992, being a football fan just makes me feel dirty. The best times I've had at football this year were at Stranraer for a Scottish League III game v Alloa and Bodmin in the cup tie against Godalming. As it is, we'll try and get down three or four times a season, take in the northern away trips, whether its Gateshead or Morecambe and explore the Scottish options... |

Would the BBC have the rights to the Conference? No season ticket for me, Not only for the football but CW and his side kick as a big part in it for me to fine other things to do. As a old union rep you follow the will of the workers not force it on them. Trying to be the mouthpiece of management on one day and the workers of the Post Office another. Who pays his expensive? The union, Argyle or Post Office.

| This really pains me to say,but if argyle are in the footballing equvillant of a black hole-the conference,I will be travelling down less from Newton Abbot.Watched Torquay for a couple of seasons in the blue Square,at best there are 5 or 6 quality teams the rest are pretty shit.Coming down watching Stockport on a rainy night with 20 or 30 away supporters does not appeal particularly if the Gulls are in league 1.I'm Argyle through and through but my loyalty will be severely tested if it's non league fare.unfortunately as the games remaining dwindle the above scenario looks more of a realty. |

Exactly the same for me, I'd had one for 11 seasons up to this. I toyed with the idea of getting the half season ticket, but totally inept performances from the management and team persuaded me otherwise. There were some (thinking about it it, it may have been a lot of) games (in the last 3 years) where I'd rather have been somewhere else than freezing my bollocks off, watching dire football at Home Park. I get the feeling that no-one will be signed today- maybe I should be listening to Saint James on Sparksy! |

| God forbid anyone should give some of you a puppy for Christmas.......... Yes I would buy one for me and one for my son who I have forced to endure Argyle since he was 6. No ifs or buts just call me Aviva and I look forward to the giant pasty. |
