Have to say that if things don't improve I doubt I will renew my pass next year. I've had a pass each year for the last 25/26 and seen some rubbish in that time, but I've never seen a squad which earns around £75k each on average play with so little enthusiasm, exhibiting so few of the basic skills of the game, with so few ideas on how to play attacking rugby. We have a squad full of plodders, put together by 3 successively mediocre coaches and I've had enough of watching one dimensional rugby.
It's not even about winning, it's about coming away from a game having been entertained and feeling like I've had my money's worth.
My big concern now is that they'll sack agar, appoint sharp as an interim, we'll win a couple of games and he'll get a long contract. You just know it will happen.
Big changes needed at the club or fans will be walking away in droves

I'll be getting one. Still good value IMO. However, I suspect there will be a lot like you who are wavering. Massive off-season for recruitment and retention decisions as I think this will influence pass take-up as much as performances for the rest of the season. Some tough decisions required I think.

If we carry on for the rest of the season as we are then season pass sales will definitely be well down next year. The thing is unless you have a reserved seat pass in the middle 2 or 3 blocks of east stand then for viewing purposes its hardly worth investing in any other than one as these blocks as they are the best if you want a view from around the half way line. If i wasnt bothered about where my seat was (at present, middle of east stand) then i very much doubt i would get a pass any year. The west stand doesnt sell out so there will be plenty on that side too even more so next year with the non probable take up of corporate seating.
As I dont tend to buy mine until after the season I will as normal decide at the end of season if I am buying one or not. To make a decision now is a bit hasty.

Are you really saying this is worse than the Sharks era where we came away from the Boulevard happy if we'd only lost by less than 10???
