No its not pathetic in any way. Its how this gentleman feels about the whole shitshow that is Huddersfield Town.
I wonder if a poll was put up "How many are buying a season ticket for 24/25" what that would throw up.

Just because someone expresses their opinion doesnt make them "pathetic" or "attention seeking.
Maybe you should show a little respect to someone who has shown dedication for a very long time (probably longer that you have been alive). There comes a time in all apsects of life where you have to say "enough is enough" - that takes courage. Especially when you are a life long supporter.

[Big Ern]

I'll be waiting until the last possible moment to decide on renewing because I ain't paying a penny to watch these players again bar maybe 3 of them.

If we have a complete clear out and bring in some quality then I may be persuaded but otherwise not a fucking chance. The rot will not disappear in league 1. The players need to leave for the sake of their careers and we need to get rid for the sake of the club.

[Captainslapper]

Think we'll have a pretty big clear out. Id expect a new manager too...no loss there from what Breittenreiter has done here.

In his 11 games hes averaged 0.9 points a game...the same as Moore got, both only marginally worse than the 1 point per game Warnock got ( thanks largely to having the easiest fixture of the season in Rotherham at home )
Ive not seen anything in the performances or tactics that make me think it's better than it was under Moore either.

Just shows how hard it is to pick a successful manager. His CV was so impressive..after Watford everything pointed to us staying up comfortably...but no, hes been an abject failure like the previous two permanent managers this season.

The club needs a re-set. From 2017 and our promotion to the PL it's been a club thats used to losing way more often than not, barring that one season where everything seemed to go right for once..until Wembley.
For this group losing is now a habit..it's like theyve forgotten how to win. they dont know how to.Even if we take the lead in a game we are in top of, we'll find a way to not win it.
The only way we'd have scored yesterday was if a Swansea player sliced it into his own net. And even then, there'd have been a Town player on the goal line to accidentally clear it.


A season ( hopefully just the one) in league 1 might turn that around. At a weaker level, allow us to get a group of players together who get used to winning and take that mentality back up into this division with them.
We might look back in 3 years and see this relegation as being a good thing, you never know.
Ever the optimist!

But if I could Id renew tomorrow.
In terms of what I like to do with my Saturdays every other week, it makes no real difference whether Im watching us play Orient or Cardiff.

What difference does it make what divisions you are in? You either support the club or you dont.
We go up sometimes, and we go down sometimes. It's part of supporting a club like ours.
The club is in nothing like the shit state a lot of these older fans have seen many many times,,, nowhere near ,,,so its odd to me why this is the time they claim theyre stopping supporting the club.

each to their own though. It's not compulsory. People will do what they want to do and so they should.

My mates a Bradford park Avenue fan. They've just been relegated for the second season running down to the 8th tier. Hes gutted but he'll be there watching them next season because theyre his club. End of story.

T To me your club is like an extra child.
If they disappoint and end up working stacking shelves at Aldi instead of that accountants job you hoped they'd get then do you disown them? No, you carry on loving and supporting them as best you can. Because theyre your kid and always will be.

But like I say, each to their own.

I made a similar analogy not long ago, your club is like being married to someone you can never divorce, you might want to. but you'll always forgive them.

Using your analogy, I’m having a trial separation next season and will see how it goes.

£100 season ticket for us old timers might just do the trick. Our transatlantic friend came with promises of great football, instead our fans got one of the worst seasons on record (malc and mick included). So, if he wants a chance to prove he's not all mouth and trousers he needs to curry favour with the fan base. If we get an inflated season ticket offer, after what we've just seen, he will get the response it deserves.

You'll be back, it hurts and we all feel shit tonight but football changes very quickly. Hell, it may even change next weekend! My Dad gave up his season ticket at the age of 93, he'd have missed the Schindler penalty in the play off final if he had given up at 77!!

I am not renewing for the first time since I nought a season ticket
Enough is enough

When was that 2018? If you’ve followed town as long as you say you have seen worse seasons than this. I hope your the guy sat behind me, a right negative so and so, be really pleased if he doesn’t renew.

Are we going to get an announcement on here for every supporter that isn’t renewing?? Maybe as well a refreshing the squad we need to refresh the fan base.

1978 /1979 it used to be buy 2 and a child went for free
So my brother and me did exactly that and my lass went at 8/9 years old
my last response on this subject

[dxterrier]

Totally understand the feelings, this season has been a complete s**tshow, made worse by the fact we totally didn't learn the lessons from last season and before. That is nothing more than a major failing by all involved in the running of the club, that failure is an absolute insult to the faith we, as fans, give freely to the club we love and right now its been made worse because we have gone down without putting up much fight.

I think there is a part of all of us that wants to walk away, but underneath I know I won't, I can't. There is something about your club, your team that lodges in your heart, your soul and gets in your blood. For me thats been there since one tuesday night in 1980, the first time I got to the top of the steps in the old main stand at Leeds Road and got my first ever glimpse of the pitch under the floodlights, heard the noise. As a wide eyed 5 year old it grips you and never lets go. There has been good times and there has been bad times, it a rollercoaster, but its a true love that no matter how much it hurts at times, you can't leave.

Really doesn't feel like it at the moment but the highest of highs are always worth the lowest of lows, thats the life of a town fan

[goodbet]

It has been a long hard season and we are looking at dropping down a level. This has been another season where we just keep getting worse and worse since our our last promotion.

We keep selling any players who we could get a few quid for and and invest it in old Ex-Town players, prospects from the lower leagues and lots of injury prone players. We needed players for more than one season that we did not try to replace like ball playing midfielder, striker and full backs.

No thought seems to have been on building a squad, gathering players that will fit together just players at a lower cost. We got rid of well over 20 players in the summer and brought only a few in.
Managerial selections have been abysmal and we kept them on too far too long when it was not working.

Football in general is going to the dogs, a few Premier League clubs force through the decision to scrap FA cup replays and they have been slowly skimming off as much money as possible and leaving the rest to rot. They introduced VAR and implemented it in daft ways when we can all see how well rugby has used the system.

All this and no involvement for the fans, it is all too easy to see why some may have had enough of football for a while.
I expect that if we have a decent summer window some will be back next season no matter where we end up, but clubs just can't take fans for granted though most seem too.

[Wingman]

I don’t hold a season card and haven’t for many years due to circumstances, but have attended more regularly this last couple of years with game by game tickets. I still enjoy going; the walk down to the stadium, the pie and pint, the chatter going back to the car.

There’ll always be that part of me that enjoys it. I even miss away days.

However any ideas I had of purchasing a season card next year are well and truly on ice. Right now I’ll still pick and choose when I go down the games, and that doesn’t make me a fair weather fan, just not prepared to throw well earnt good money at spineless shirkers rolling over to have their belly tickled.

We got rid of a lot of dross who weren't going to offer the 1st team anything,,plus a couple we shouldn't have got rid of when we did ( Holmes and Rhodes.. two of your ex players we signed coincidentally)

We actually spent a lot of money compared to most in the division. Balker, Wiles, Bojan, Healey...all around the million pound mark. The loan for Matos probably cost similar.
As is our way though they have all not worked out really for one reason or another.
If we bought Jude Bellingham he'd be shit for us. hed be injured or ill or just lose all his form.

Same with the managers...I'd have expected Warnock to do better in both the transfer market in the summer and his games in charge. Moore had a strong track record and was a total failure..breitenreiter had the best CV of any manager weve ever appointed and he's been a total failure.

Im not sure what lessons we could have learned from....unless the lesson is 'make the right decision instead of the wrong decision'.

With fans like you there'll be little wonder when Kev ups sticks and sells up.

Some folk have a different idea of supporting a club than me.

If you just want to attend when things are good you can get to Man City in 40 minutes. Tickets are easy to come by and the lager/pies are good.

[westislandterrier]

I’ve stated on here several times that if (heaven forbid) that Huddersfield Town fell to The Vauxhall Conference League that I’d still be there all things being well and down twice a season to see them compete and still be shelling out hundreds of pounds on merchandise...

My attitude has always been that a footy team is for life and not just the festive season at Christmas time and that’ll always stand from ma point of view - Always...

I’m also a very liberal lad and understand that folk earn their cash and it’s entirely up to them how they see fit to spend it or otherwise so while it’s disappointing to see fans ‘chuck it’ -  It’s their absolute prerogative to do that wherever and whenever they choose to -

But one things for sure - I’ll bet that those surviving players who sunk HTAFC from Division 1 (Premiership) to Division 4 (League 2) in the relitavely quick four year period of 1972-1975 inclusively are bloody relieved that there was no social media forums available back then !

And at least the poor HTAFC fans that witnessed it all had very very decent chart music to help drown the sorrows over a drinking session or two ! 🥃 🍺

Making the right decision would be a step in the right direction

No matter how much we spent we did not strengthen the team or the squad, we would have been better off keeping the players we got shut of.
When we put someone who has been away from UK football for years in charge, we can all now see what we got.

This has been a long, slow, painful decent, let's hope that we start building again sometime soon.

[willo]

I genuinely wonder what the uptake on season cards will be next season? Will the bottom drop out as seems very possible if you believe what you read on here or is it all a lot of hot air? Are we looking at season card renewals being down to circa 9/10,000 next time around? That’s likely 1/3 down, a big drop.

[wildbillthetownfan]

After watching Town for 58 years from an 8yr old i will still be going because i wouldn't know what else to do on a Saturday afternoon but i will probably give a night game in February against Stevenage a miss

Season card holders have not been turning up to games this season so unless we start building a team early in the summer, I would expect a lot of people not be renewing their cards.

Maybe you should show a little respect to someone who has shown dedication for a very long time (probably longer that you have been alive). There comes a time in all apsects of life where you have to say "enough is enough" - that takes courage. Especially when you are a life long supporter.

I have been a Town supporter for nigh on 56 years, this year is the worst I have witnessed football wise, not results, we have no gelativity as a team as a whole, Worthington gave me hope he brought back the good feeling factor, then after that it has spirraled beyond belief.

My question would be who is to blame, the players, the manager, the owner, coaching staff, Mr Nagle must be fuming at the predicament we are in, the next few months will be very interesting what happens.

I will renew next season, as surely things can only get better.

Personally, a relegation could be useful for the club. Players even still in contract may push for a move away such as Aard and Rhodes.

Fine, if you’ve had enough that’s up to each individual, why the need to start a thread and announce it?
We’re all pissed off but I don’t see why suddenly this has become the tipping point for some folk (especially the older generation).
In my opinion you’ll never be fully done when it comes to properly supporting your club.
These folk saying they’re done will soon be back once (if) we start winning a few games again.

I think it's too easy to blame Cartwright for everything. Hes become the new fall guy..we need someone to blame and its him.

Just because decisions didnt work out, it doesnt mean they werent reasonable decisions at the time they were made.
And I think that applies to most of things that have let us down.
Keeping warnock to see us through the summer and into the season...appointing Moore, Appointing Breitenreiter ,,buying the 3 players we did in January , loaning the highly rated matos.
All those decisions had logic behind them and were reasonable...yet all have to one degree or another been a total flop.

I dont know, its just become a repetitive thing that whatever we do, however reasonable and logical it is, even how ambitious it is thinking about the money we spent in January..it just doesnt work out for whatever reason.

If Cartwright needs replacing, then he needs replacing...but hopefully its with someone who's luckier...because I swear thats the biggest factor in whether decisions and choices are a success or not.

I did almost nod off on Saturday, first time that has happened since Chris Powell was manager. Could have been embarrassing as our row was so empty there was nobody around to dig me in the ribs 😆.
