| Who's renewed their season ticket?
Sensible got mine - he's now eligible for an OAP ticket. That's two season tickets for 2014/15. It's going to be another season in League 2.
What I expect:
Grandstand still standing. Wholesale changes. Yet more firsts in football - cheerleaders. Chris Webb to stand down close season. The PASB to disappear. Fan fests continue. Reid signed on a two year contract - injury pre-season, scores four all season. Pre-season friendlies against rubbish teams nobody cares about. An early exit from the league cup. |

| Exiled so not had a season ticket since I moved away.
Been given a pass for the Pompey game but not sure I should be committing £80 of the family's money to watch this shower of shite and a winners take all to see who can finish 12th in this dog shit of a division.
In the past I would never have foreseen a situation in which I would turn down an away game an hour away from home.
Our local football league club allows under 8's in for free if they are signed up to the supporters club (£6 a year). The children are beginning to show interest and for £260 per year I can take them to every game. The football's better and it is a walk from home.
Argyle are swiftly becoming the equivalent of a first love. You'll never forget them and you might have the odd jump (midweek away only) but in reality they've let themselves go a bit and you've moved on. |

| I've not had a ST for 4 seasons now and not likely to change. I'm quite happy to POTD and pick and choose what games I go to- when I had a ST I felt I had to go even when the football was abysmal (games like yesterday for instance). The actions of the current board (mini-stand etc) and lack of ambition don't appeal to me. |

| The last season tickets we had (me & my 3 lads) was the disaster season culminating in the Newcastle game - we had had them for the previous 9 years!! Now only me prepared to travel the 200 mile round trip and POTD - find the place a hell hole now and the infestation up top is something I will never whole heartedly accept!!
Brent & his pocket dwellers OUT!! |

| Nothing for me. Haven't attended any home matches this season and don't plan on attending any next season either. Infact I won't pay another penny to Brent while he is at Argyle. Away games with tickets pre-bought from the home team means Brent won't even get a % of the ticket revenue like he would if I bought them from Argyle. Win win for me, I attend the matches I want which are closer to home and Brent doesn't get a penny from me :-D Until Brent removes Webb as president and replaces him with someone who truly deserves it (Wotton, Larrieu) and until Brent shows some ambition this will remain the case. |

| Used to get a season ticket, then white membership, now POTD. My family who used to travel 100s of miles for a game now support the teams where they live. |

| I'd virtually given up when they lost Holloway. Haven't been to a game since Oxford away, two seasons back. Even drove through Plymouth at 2pm on the day of the first home game. Wise decision. The reason isn't even the pathetic team and management.
The club is now at the mercy of a so called property developer, aided and abetted by tent dwellers with a penchant for fame at the village avivafest.This situation has been building for many years. Only difference is they shake rattles instead of bells. |

| Not managed a game this season.
Had tickets for me and my Brother for the Wycombe game but my Daughter was taken into hospital that afternoon so couldn't go. He took his B-I-L and loved the Brasil chants from the Argyle fans.
Hoping Wycombe don't go down with Torquay so I can go next season. _______________________________________ I'm one of the common people so says the wife!

| I didn't renew my season ticket when Brent took the keys to HP. I had hardly missed a match for donkeys years before that, I used to take my boys until they grew up and before that it was a trip with my schoolmates. I watched Argyle all through the dark days of Macauley, the bad days of the M7 and now I've had enough. The superfan enablers, apologists and subversive wannabe Tory boy arse kissers are actually keeping me away more than the owner. Brent is a cnut, it's not his fault he was brought up that way, lying and stealing comes as second nature to his ilk, obviously he leaves stealing food from shops to the poor proles, these guys steal tracts of land in public parks and obtain DEALS from dodgy councillors behind closed doors, dividing up the spoils of a once great nation. The fact that he has been ushered into HP as though he was the second coming by ACTUAL ARGYLE FANS make me want to vomit. NEW BROOM! NEW BOARD! POODLES OUT! BRENT OUT! |

| I never did have a ST due to wanky shift patterns. I have no intention of getting gone either with that bunch of incompetent baffoons running, or is that ruining, or both, currently clusterfucking the club over.
I'll pick and choose games that fit in around MY leisure time, Thank you.

| Have part of our family one. Think we've had at least two for 30 years now. My dad sits with the sme old moany codgers he always has. I mostly go just to see everyone now (plus I still 'love' watching Argyle - bizarre isnt it). Was there yesterday. Load of absolute tripe. You wouldn't think that there was still a long shot chance of making the playoffs. Something (lots) not right at the football club at the moment. |

| I'd agree with that last bit Dougie, something isn't right. Has Shez been told that his budget for next season is going to be cut? That would tie up with the stories that the club cash flow crisis has been sorted out, Wrathall money to fund shortfall this season, budget cuts to help next season. Or has there been a major fallout in the dressing room? Personally I think that we only have about four players who are any good and other teams are just playing around us. When teams like Oxford and Fleetwood seem to have better pulling power than Argyle you have to ask yourself what the reason is? Maybe we could get Macauley back? |

So after the club was saved following very near extinction, you refused to buy a season ticket on principle? I thought I was the most miserable Argyle fan going, and even I was singing 'there's only one James Brent' at Cheltenham. |

| Bought my last ST the day Risdale toddled off. Didn't bother this season as the direction of the club struck me as all wrong. Been to one game this year, Oxford, and the team I saw was a reincarnation of the same shower of shite that's been treading relegation waters in this awful division for the last few years. Few people I know are downgrading to white ST's for next year. The pleasure of watching Argyle is becoming a distant memory.

Edit. Actually got a ST the following season as well. My mistake. |

what an excellent contest that would be ! seriously though personally despite or in spite of exile I used to be a 25 game a season, im sure if I lived in Plymouth I would have a season ticket and like others I know would be downgrading to white membership. this season 3 games are all I could muster this season, last season it was 8. |

| Renewed mine, although I do wonder why. Shift patterns make turning up really difficult. I turn up as much these days for the social aspect because to be bluntly honest the football isn't worth watching most of the time. |

| I gave up season tickets for myself and my wife when we were in administration. Sadly my wife passed away on 13th April and I considered buying a ticket, if only for something to do and keep me occupied through the winter.
Thankfully the thought lasted a short while because there must be hundreds of better options then wasting £380 on watching that every other week. |
