Let's have a poll.
This poll will run for 30 days. You are able to change your answer during that time.

Do you plan to renew your season ticket, and feel free to add comments as to the way you've voted.

I always think fans who stay loyal by decently supporting a Non League team are a very special breed as in general always be more rough times than good, walking away would never be on the cards for me, its never been about what happens pitch thats glued me either just as much people who've I've got to know well and sharing a pint and away trip with, its addictive, its what most of us look forward to every working week, we somehow believe one day were win this League for all what it takes.

Supported them for a long time and will continue to support them.

Doesn't apply to me as I live too far away, but I always renewed when I lived close by.
That said if I was living down south I would have to wait and see what this mobs real intentions are. Next year is going to be tough with players coming and going, but we need some kind of stability at the club. It's no good just slinging a load of players together and hoping for the best, us fans never know whose playing from one week to the next. I'm not saying the board should bankrupt the club he we need stability regarding players and their contracts etc. We need a squad of players that know eachother.
Most of all we need a manager to gel that squad and get them playing. Unfortunately I don't think Young is that man.
It also depends on us not getting relegated which at the moment looks more and more likely as the weeks go by.

Haven’t had a season ticket for about 15 years due to shift work. But if I had I wouldn’t be renewing, enjoyment has been sucked out of the club. I’ve hardly been this season, and done more aways than home.

We're a fickle lot really. Those who genuinely don't really give a shit would have buggered off years ago. I'll renew but it doesn't mean I'm enjoying it.
Yesterday I thought was actually quite a good performance, I think we'll survive but the season has been awful.

Not renewing after having a season ticket 30+ years, too expensive when the owners want to be cheap. Can’t seriously expect people to pay the same price for a much inferior product? I’ve missed more games than ever this season mainly Tuesday night as I can’t be bothered to drive 45 mins in rush hour for nothing. Also, as someone said the soul of the club has been completely sucked out of it in recent years and I can’t see any improvement in that with the current owners in charge. I’ll come to the odd game to catch up with people and watch some football.

Can’t see myself renewing as it stands, not that I’m not going to attend games I’m just missing at least 6 home games a season, and with recent form I most probably wouldn’t have gone yesterday but if anything it was a reminder of how good we can perform, if the owners and management show as much commitment I might change my mind

I've missed more games this season than usual, 3 or 4 so far I think.

I don't mind us being a bit rubbish, we've been that way for years now. But a lot of what I loved about the club has gone. And to be honest a lot of what I loved about lower league football has gone too. It used to be people who played cos they loved it and now it's people who are the very bottom of the professional game and who don't really want to be here.

I really don’t want to renew but I think I will. I know come 1/2 o’clock on a Saturday my thought process will be F IT let’s go football. Buying a season ticket means those horrible cnuts get less money out of me.

Of course I'll renew you either support the club through thick or thin or you don't - providing you have the means and are available for most matches. It was only a matter of weeks ago we beat two league teams away in the cup and the league leaders 7-1. I would rather have an experienced manager and the imminent departure of the so called Sporting Director but I'll think we'll stay up - just- and I think things will change radically next season for the better in terms of the ownership and general management of the club. Just my hunch!

I think like many clubs we have a hard core number of supporters that have been around for years that will continue renewing their season tickets come what may. Also, most of the people I know do not even look at this forum let alone post on it. For that reason, although this poll is of some interest for regulars like me, it will be a far from a fair reflection of the mood of fans, because not sure of number of season ticket holders we have, but would be many hundreds and probably only get a tiny number on here voting.
Just a point of interest and will probably get some stick for “stating the bleeding obvious.”

I won't renew if we get relegated.

Totally agree with Dagdale, I will be renewing as I have done every year since 2009. I can’t bear to think off not going to watch the Daggers on a Saturday home or away. It’s habitual and addictive. Plus I sit in the Sun Jaxa stand with a great bunch of blokes and we always have a laugh and a joke during the games.

Doesn't directly answer the central question, but I didn't renew this season after moving to Essex... Planned to get the ST next year but this last couple of months has likely made me revert back to following this season and going on an ad-hoc basis again in 2025-26.

If I did get one back I am certain it wouldn't be on the early-bird offer as the prospect of next season's squad to start the season terrifies me.
