| Interesting to see only 7K at Hull City tonight despite a good win for them at the weekend. Yet again shows how the economic situation is hitting the City IMO, if the games aren't included in the season pass a lot of fans can't or won't go.
I am really concerned for our crowds next year, if we don't sell passes then I can't see people getting out of their armchairs to pay on the day unless we are on a blinding run of form and playing a top side.

The same "Rovers fan" who came out of retirement for a derby, smashed into them and scored a fantastic prop's try?
Odd, there's 2 Rovers fans in the current team. I take it you'll be applying your moronic logic to them too?
Another "fan" who moans his way through the year and pokes his tongue out when he disagrees with something. You'll be missed.

| I've been a passholder for many many years. My inclination up to now on a personal and emotional level is not to renew for all of the various strategic reasons mentioned and the fact that I've just not enjoyed most games this season. BUT on the other hand what I want is a successful and entertaining FC side that I can enjoy watching. How does withholding my £235 help to achieve that? The players and perhaps the coach have let us down but AP has sunk his money in and has let no one down unless somehow the choices he made in McRae and PG and potentially Radford are considered to be letting us down. I don't think so , you could argue about his judgement but he's surely doing it only because he believes it's right and it's his money. The consequence of the clever strategy of saving say £100/£150 by not buying a pass and paying for a handful of games is that there won't be the money coming in to keep AP interested/solvent let alone allow him to do what we want him to do which is to buy players in , pay top dollar , improve our facilities etc. So perhaps if it really is a matter of principal rather than economics then it's probably better to buy a pass and pick and choose your games , avoiding London , rainy cold nights etc , saving some time , putting family first whilst still retaining the right to have your say. Unless that is the object is to punish AP for some reason and increase his and our club's problems. I don't believe that anyone , other than some players and agents are in sport for the money - football is not a sport - and most owners and fans are just investing in their hobby albeit at different levels. AP is currently the only chance we have to get what we all want and he needs our support , especially financial I would say , more than ever.

| I have been a supporter of the club since the 1960s and been a season passholder for many a year. I to wont be renewing my pass for reasons already said in the above posts. AP should really listen to the fans.

| I really really hope it turns out well for Radders, as we all want to see the club doing well.
The people who then haven't bought season tickets will hopefully then be regretting it. I think it is just an excuse for some people; times are hard and I can totally understand people wanting to be more careful with their money.

| I don't believe this is the right choice, think Peter should have been given another year. But I have bought my pass, and I will give Radford my full support. I just hope the gamble pays off, and we are not sat here in the Championship next year.

Well I'm make him an offer BUT I want 100% commitment!! My pass has already been renewed, I have a lot of respect and faith in Adam, I know how he works and manages things (my brother in law worked for him). Believe me he will get us there, after 144 years he was the only one to get City into the top flight. Once he gets his teeth into something nothing (or no-one) stands in his way.
He will have weighed this situation up from day one, he will have seen that Gentle was not up to the job amongst other things happening. We have had a lot worst coaches in the past and still carried on supporting the club, lets just get behind the coach and team and see how we go, I'll say this, if it is'nt working it won't be long before there is another change, you can bet your life on that, because Pearson does not mess about or suffer fools!

| Well, I emailed the club to say I and my family will not be renewing if Gentle isn't removed.
They did so we're now buying 5 passes at the end of the month. Whoever they picked for head coach would still not be good enough for some on here, so let them go to watch Hull City.

I don't mean to spoil your party but he never took city into the top flight
He was involved in bringing them down though, funnily enough through a poorly timed change in management

Just to be clear its ok for you to not renew your pass because you don't think the coach is upto the job but its not ok for anyone else to do the same thing?

| A few days ago I was adamant no passes for me next season...I am now however thinking very hard on this decision. I liked Gentle, thought he was an honest guy but reading between the lines Gentle by name may also have been Gentle by nature. Maybe one more season just to see if Radders can deliver in at least getting the team to play for the Shirt.....mmmmmmm thinking hard.............hahaha.

| My impression of the way this all happened is that it was extremely underhand (it may not have been of course) so I'm finding it extremely difficult to put that to one side and renew my pass. I'll be leaving it to the last possible moment to make the decision.

Without Pearson City would not have been anywhere near getting promoted to the Premiership, he also came back and saved them when Duffen and Walker made a pigs ear of things. I'm not partying yet but feel a lot better about our future then I did with the old regime of the Hetherington era.
