Don't renew

my choice is to be pissed to the point where im done with it but then the shit “I bet he’s a mag” comments come which I love laughing at

I’ve not had a go at anyone who isn’t renewing. This moron decided to have a go at me for renewing. Calling me a “mug” and “thick” for doing so.
Go back through this thread and you mentioned name calling first not me , when it comes to support if you wanna criticise mind over the past 35 year that’s not a problem as I know mine likely pisses all over yours (albeit age depending),my opinion now is that as of this season
I’ve had enough and won’t be renewing,for the me the people who choose to renew are being taken for mugs but that’s their problem
 

I'm not defending today's performance. It was pathetic. But all this " the world is ending" shit is beyond pathetic. I'd got that crap out of my system before my teens.

I know some people go OTT but always been that way mate, same when we win a game. I tend to mentally block some comments unless it is from someone I respect.
 
I have had a season card for 20 years and got one as soon as I returned to the North East. I went to my first game in 1969 and attended many, many games until I moved away in 1990.
I have had the same seat for 18 years and have made good friendships with people me who have also supported the club for many years. They have seen my kids grow up, and vice versa. We are loyal supporters, not glory hunters, who support our club and obviously hope for success.
SAFC is the club for us, and we will decide when to call it a day, be it under this ownership or the next.
It has never been easy supporting SAFC, but I have learned to tolerate the bad times and enjoy the good.

I have no problem with anyone wanting to renew, I guess they have their reasons.
Personally I think it would be better to wait until the summer they you will have a better idea of what you are renewing for.
 
Baffled by some of the comments in here about not renewing. Fair enough it's your choice but some people have a short memory.

The same people running our club got us from league one to championship and championship playoff semi final last season.

This season has been a shambles, extremely frustrating and disappointing as the club broke up a squad of players that were a tight-knit group and took a gamble on replacing them with youth which has completely backfired along with their managerial decisions.

We can only hope they've learnt their lesson and that next season serious changes will be made to the model and the way the club is run.
 
Thanks for the advice.

I would pay to watch Sunderland if they were in the Wearside league. I am happy with the cost and consider it decent value for 23 days out with an extended group of friends. Hope this helps.
Fine. Don’t come on here moaning then. It’s folk like you who enable these jokers to do what they like.
 
Bang on you have. So why you acting like one. 35 years and this is the last straw? Not 2017? Not 2018? But this. Bullshit. Can see your lot a mile off.
Bullshit aye? You wanna meet me in person for me to prove which club I’ve supported for over 35 year? Got tattoos about sunlun all over me arms,fingers,chest etc , in 35 year I’ve seen about 7/8 good seasons and yes 17/18 were tough,really f***ing tough seasons but this season with these owners had done it for me and that’s my opinion,just like it’s yours to renew next season

Any time 👍🏻 You can not renew all you want I don’t care. But as you’ll know, if you’ve renewed 35 years in a row it’s not that easy to just walk off and no one is a “mug” or owt else for renewing
 
The fact the club have sent out representatives to certain areas today picking out individuals that have not renewed and asking why tells you all you need about what's going tohappen come the end of the season.

We will be back down to around 23,000 season ticket holders next season.

The club are a complete mess from the top down. I heard someone asked why they weren't renewing and they replied"i put my money in at a percentage which is way over what I can afford to live on, who's doing that at the top"

Silence.

I’m outside the colliery tavern most games ,cant miss me ,and no it’s not easy to just pack in now but there’s only so much everyone can take and for me it’s this season ,all my family are still renewing and I’ve called them mugs/idiots for doing it aswel,maybe all
These years supporting them have left me angry/bitter/stuborn and maybe I’m being petty but for me it’s justified 🤷🏻‍♂️

Well said 👏👏👏

Judging by the comments from the latest meeting with the fans groups they’ve learnt fuck all and still have the arrogance of knowing better than battle hardened fans.

There is no suggestion things will change in the summer or next season.

We’ve had enough of chancers being in charge and having the piss taken out of us.

We've had two good seasons, 1 bad season and the other half a season was not bad considering they arrived at the club in December/January/February that season.

Can't just throw toys out the pram because this season hasn't been a patch on last season.

Will most likely finish around where we are now. By no means happy but it'll give them a wake up call that if they want to get promoted to the premier league then they need to do a lot better.
 
We have a very young group of players who will get better. I reckon for e.g. we have better players than say Blackburn. How many natural defenders were in our starting back four today?

How many would have been playing there if we had a fully fit squad?

I wrote the season off as a dud about a month ago and the games are just days out now. Still doing Leeds, WBA and Watford mind and enjoyed Cardiff immensley. I suspect those who moaned about the tickets at Hull and Rotherham will not be doing any of those games mind as given our form they are all likely to go down to season ticket holders. When they said they wanted to go to away games but can't get tickets, they didn't mean THOSE away games did they?
we really don’t have many players better than Blackburn .
