Main reason was because I have for years, almost automatically. Also, the 3 divisions of 8 looming, which is when I definitely won't be doing, so it feels a bit like the last act.

| Quote: @airlie_bird "Its becoming easier to walk away. My first game was back in 76. In 90 I moved to London and have remained in the south ever since. In that time I have always been a regular. Was a season ticket holder until we decided the corporate pound was better than the ordinary fans pound and started playing on Fridays.
Following Thursday night I have decided for the sanity of me and my family I will become a glory hunter. I will also be proud to be a glory hunter.
I have ploughed thousands into the club. A club I love dearly. But like AP did in 2011 I have drawn a line in the sand. Thursday epitomised how the club has been going since the move to the KC. Thousands on the terraces paying good money over to follow a team we all love. How are we rewarded? We ain't. It's as simple as that. 2005 was as good as it will ever get. I have had many many lows since 76 but I always felt the boys in B&W were trying no matter who the opposition or how big the stars were in the team.
What I see now is a squad that has a handful of 100% players ( Horne, Whiting being the main two) but the rest who really don't give a SH.. When you shell out as much as I do for petrol alone to get to a match and always fearing it could be the side who don't give a SH.. Who are going to turn up you have to start to make decisive decisions.
I have a choice crry on with low bank balance and raised blood pressure or provide a better standard of entertainment for my family and I to enjoy.
Thursday was that moment I made the choice. I will still look forward to my dream Wembley win. I just might not have seen many of the players that do it eventually play.
It means the money for shirts and other merchandise that I buy for myself and 4 kids will be saved. It will be FCLive saved on and most of all my sanity. That is until we have a squad that competes and puts in 100% for the club every week. I don't care if we get relegated, have to go part time etc because many do the same. In some respects it might be more enjoyable.
But I can no longer justify walking away from grounds feeling disappointed when its costing so much. That for those of you who blindly follow and will be there at all costs is the reality of the situation. I foresee the Friday corporates will drop off and it will be then that the club needs its hardcore fans. In my case due to a number of factors I feel it won't be there to pick up the slack.'"
Genuinely gutted that fans like you who've made such commitments are turning away but fully understand and support your right to do so.
It's a great shame that such a well supported club have been starved of the success the long suffering fans deserve but hopefully a long-term focus on youth will see us build the kind of foundations Leeds and Wigan have built their recent success on.
I think we'll just have to accept a few years of finishing 5th-6th in order to build towards having our own dynasty in the late 2010's that win 3-4 GFs in a 7 year span.

Your certainly not the only one. I too have had a Season Pass for years but as things stand won't be getting one for next year. Fed up of paying good money to come away from the game feeling disappointed and downbeat.
We don't have a 'right' to win every game, but we do have a right to expect the team to at least be motivated & committed. Our defeat to Wigan at home was actually one of the highlights of the season despite the result, because of the quality of rugby on display from both sides.
Some of my current mood isn't all of the clubs doing, I think the standard of SL in general has dropped and there have been a lot of forgettable games this year. For example the playoffs so far have only had 1 good game (Leeds-Saints) and I suppose Hudds-Wigan was watch able, the rest have been dire.
all in all that spark and passion for the club and RL as a whole just isn't there for me at the moment. Hopefully a good World Cup and changes at the club will get be back in the mood before 2014.

Go on then help me and the rest of us out. What do I need to get a grip of. I really need to know before I go off into the sunset. I might just be saved.

I think in all honesty my general apathy towards the game is a problem. It's far to sterilised and sanitised compared to many years ago. It's simply a war of attrition. The off the cuff play is almost dead. Probably why Chase is so well liked as he is the only one that tries anything different. The reality being that he isn't actually that good. Simply better than average and prepared to do something slightly different. If he was that good the NRL would have snapped him up.
The standard of refereeing is very poor. Again on Thursday Mr Ganson showed that he fails to understand the off side rule. (I am not using it as an excuse for anything that happened on Thursday, but the Giant was clearly off side and the RL world knows it) Sadly he will continue to make howlers and his colleagues will which baffle all of us.
As for the WC its almost a forgone conclusion which is why the country as a whole has apathy towards it.
Maybe we simply need a good off season free of RL and then some convincing friendly wins against lower opposition to reignite the Bel13f.
I am off to get a grip.

Eh ?
Got my passes the other day before the Gentle out scenario. I've never bought my passes based upon who is or isn't coach or who is or isn't playing. Other people differ - that's fine we all make our own choice. I'll probably get to just over half of the games owing to where I live and the difficulties attending on Fridays. Whilst I hear the argument that if people just keep buying things will never get better, my own feeling is that if people don't buy the problem will soon be one at a catastrophic level.

| My decision to buy a season pass won't be based on who we sign or who the coach is, I buy one cos FC are my team. Money may be an issue for buying a pass or not living local or working shifts etc. Who the coach is shouldn't be a factor.
