Would you renew if relegated?

serious question, how many other season ticket holders would renew their tickets if the worst happened?

Think I would give it a season but not 100% on that

No mate, I'd find another Premiership team to support, no way could I support a team in the Championship

Since I ain't living in the U.K, I watch all the matches via paying to a boardcast company. Oh If Everton go gown I just can't cancel the service because I signed a 3 year contract...

It makes me laugh that people have a go at others and claim to be bigger blues. Each to their own I say and different people have different circumstances. This BIG club of ours has delivered one trophy in 20 years and that is just not good enough in my eyes. I don't see not going the match anymore as being dis-loyal after the money I've spent year after year on them.

What I do know is that I've been supporting Everton all my life and always will do but I'm trying to save for a house at the minute and the brand of football that I'm watching on a Saturday afternoon these days is seriously making me fall out of love with Football all together.

Me and thousands of other sat there on a cold Monday night and had to endure that garbage then we learn the next day that the players are being taken to Qatar for warm weather training which makes me sick to my core. If I was throwing half hearted performances in work then I very much doubt that I'd be taken away, free of charge. This club, right the way through is a joke at the minute.

Over the past few months, I've seen a lot of comments along the lines of 'I haven't watched MOTD for weeks now, don't see the point'. Relegation would mean many would probably stop watching MOTD altogether, and unlikely to tune into The Football League Show at midnight either.

This attitude would absolutely start to seep into match goers as well. Sure, folk might like the idea of winning every week, which I don't think we would, but you'd find a lot of ST holders thinking 'Hmm, Rotherham this weekend, don't think I'll bother'. ST holders may remain but actual attendances would certainly fall. I can imagine we'd struggle to top 30k for most home games.

I admire the commitment expressed by many on here that they'd keep up their ST through hell or high water, but you can guarantee there'd be thousands who wouldn't. Open ticket sales would plummet as well.

I would keep supporting Everton, they are my team. But we won't get relegated anyway.

If i had a season ticket i would renew.

But because it is the mark of proper fans to be on the terrace when things aren't going well. If we went down then as devastating as it would be, we would all need to be there cheering on the team to get promoted the following season. True football fans,

Last time i checked that was how you describe us.

Everton is my team...end of

I think you might find reality will shock you. Not a chance that we'd see 80%+ renewal. Folk would jib it off in their droves.

Nevermind the 'R' word; after last season there was a massive uptake on season tickets, even if we remain where we are ( 13th) how many of those newbies will renew after all this sh*te play and rumoured off field carry on

If we go down and prices drop, that could be my time to finally get one.

I disagree. its easy to see that they would but when you look at leeds / newcastle and teams like that they still get full houses despite going down . (not sure about leeds now).

If in 3-4 years the club has gone into disarray then fair enough but straight away the fans surely would be standing by the club

It's when the club would need us the most, so probably yes.

Yes but i would hate every minute of it, just like this season really!

Two clubs who are not renowned for their permanent top flight status. EFC fans will not be prepared to accept lower-league football. Not all of them.
