For me, I'll still be rolling up to every home match I can get to as well as the odd away one.
Having supported Malone through a lot of rough seasons over the last few decades, I suppose I'm used to a degree of failure along with the occasional good year. But I'll be at Gibson Park and Ravenhill until I die (or my brain is fried, whichever comes first).
SUFTUM!
Fact is Rocky, if I were about here for the season I would renew without question. For me, meeting friends is a big deal to go alongside the match, indeed over the last couple of seasons under the reign of the clown it's been the highlight of the night, but I suppose many of these miscreants who are deserting the ship are first cousins of Norman Nomates. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Genuinely shocked and saddened by the numbers saying they won't renew.

I’m genuinely shocked that anyone would admit to watching the Giants.
I’ll renew, as the fruit of my loins will be returning from Lioneland after finishing Uni and he has missed his Friday nights spent with his aul Da at Spanners. I’ve tried telling him how bad things are, but he refuses to believe Ulster Rugby don’t care about the supporters enough to fix the omnishambles which they created. So I’ll be buying two season tickets.
I’ll admit to a perverse curiosity in watching at close quarters our Club fall apart year on year. I take no pleasure in it. On the contrary, it’s painful to observe but part of me thinks this clusterfeck can’t be illimitable.
I live quite close to Spanners and it’s not such an effort for me to get there, but I can see how those supporters who travel long distances, at quite some strain on their walking around money, would be considering throwing in the towel. On the other hand, they live in cheaper houses in Culchieville and pay buttons for their rates, so they should either toughen up and stop gurnin or move to the leafy suburbs of East Belfast like sensible people.
I’ll wait...

I'll probably renew bit want UR to sweat for a while. Stupid i know but they are my team. They need to get the message however that supporters can't be taken for granted and that all the periphery stuff is just noise. Having no band, no prosecco bar, no q radio $hite will not affect numbers through the gate. It is on the pitch that matters.

I genuinely don’t know. 50 odd of us head up from Jenny Watts and by the sound of things, a 16 seater might do next year.

I’ll keep my powder dry until the end of the season to see if there are any green shoots of hope. I’m like Baggy in the sense of it’s a social thing but the atmosphere is dung. I’d do time for the bloody band.

They are thick enough to think that they need MORE of the periphery stuff like QRadio, bands, WiFi etc to entice supporters back.

Rugby is secondary, get the bins sponsored.

Most of the off-field things that annoy me about matches are the club trying to copy The Giants. Why would I want to stop the rugby and instead go to see them?

Nothing stupid about that Jean, they are my team too and whilst there is much heart-rending and panty soiling about things being terminal, I don't believe that. Indeed the numbers of those who think things have come to total disaster probably suggests too many bought into Terry WD Slogan's WD bullshite. Ulster are in a crap place but we've been there before.

If folk, not FOLK, are only interested if we are contending permanently for tin pots, their choice, but hardly suggests support. We know that things are changing, the question is will they be the changes that will make a difference. I need to see Terry gone & want to see what happens with the two young gentlemen, then whatever the new structure will be, I'll decide finally then.

I understand people like Snipe making a fair ould trapse to watch it and wondering if it's worth it, people within easy striking distance less so. Each to their own I suppose at the end of the day & the going down of the sun.

For me, a rise to simple mediocrity would probably see me interested again.
