Promised myself I wouldn't renew the season ticket - uneconomical, given I've missed about half a dozen games this season; games are getting moved around constantly, meaning the fans are getting mucked about all over the place; plus the product on the park doesn't really justify £405; if RanNewCo is born and admitted to the SPL it makes a mockery of the whole thing.
However 3/4 of a bottle of a lovely Argentinian Malbec has me wondering if I should put all this to the side and sign up for another season of what metaphorically equates to domestic abuse.
Anyone else in the same position - almost the eve of the early bird renewal deadline and sitting on the fence?

Yeah, I've missed at least 3 home games this season, and may miss 1 more if my train home from London on 7th may is delayed. The cash is a stretch, and I have almost hated going this year. It's been a real chore.
BUT
I know if I didn't get a ST, I would probably start to go less and less, I enjoy the pre match socialising, and things can only get better eh
So, me, my son, my dad, 3 uncles, and cousin have all renewed, and I know that the 4 we drink with pre match are also all renewing.

I'm going to renew on Thursday, you just do it hoping this is the year. It would be a better question to ask who isn't renewing just to gauge a feel for how many ST holders we're going to loose. I dont think I want to know the answer to that though! We're all pee'd off but hopefully despite the prices and performances we can stick by the club we love...again. Last time though

Will be down at the Stadium tomorrow to renew for me and my daughter.
Thinking that Pat will need some funds to wheel and deal in the summer.
The Early Bird package is a good deal in my opinion, and I've always renewed on the basis of making my small contribution and the convenience that a Season Ticket brings

Not renewed, but sent off my PP application today, hope it arrives before the early bird deal is done!

Yeah, pleased to say I've renewed. It's a habit I first got into in '71 and think it'll stay wi' me 'til I pop my clogs, especially since as of last Tuesday I qualify for old codgers' season ticket rates.
This could be THE year ...

I renewed, given the amount of games I missed this season and going from a student to adult season ticket it was a difficult decision. Though the membership would have been a better option but in the end renewed. Looking forward to next season already.

Wasn't going to renew until very very recently but decided to go for it online tonight (4/4/12) and pay the whole amount only for a message to come up saying check that you have one of the recognized cards- I have indeed got a recognized card, but something tells me that Hibs are so backward that they still don't accept debit cards, which in my opinion is an absolute disgrace. I'll try and do it over the phone tomorrow and if they tell me the same thing I definitely won't be renewing.

Yes, i renewed because the penguins told me to. Last man standing from the original group of eight. Brother will come out of hibernation for the SF against the Dandy Dons and my one man recruitment drive to fill section 43 with all singing dancing happy clappers is ongoing

Will renew again by Friday for about the 25th year in a row. It's what supporters do.
Thats if the sanctimonious droning on the Rod Petrie thread hasn't put me into a coma before i get down to the shop.

I'm still not sure if I want to renue or not. £405 for a season ticket is pretty steep, especially for what we have been watching for the last few years, and as many have said above, when you miss 4 or 5 games a season, you start to think it might be cheaper to just PATG. I'm not really buying the whole early bird offer either. I don't have kids, free old firm tickets is not benefitting me. The free top offer was possibly the only thing that interested me.
Was also a bit gutted they don't have the interest free payment plan anymore, but to be fair to hibs on that one, I think it might have been quite hard to run.
No doubt I'll be down at the ticket office tomorrow...

I renewed, WHY i asked myself !!
Then i thought i make charity donations through the year so why not to Hibs and I live in hope I will see HIBS win the Scottish Cup one day

Renewed!!
Both mines and Dad's.
I am confident that PF and his team will turn this around and we'll see the real Hibs next year.
Glory glory

2 of the group of 6 who sit together in the East have renewed and I've got the forms for the other 4 to hand in today.
Renewing in hope rather than expectation with the caveat that if the huns go into liquidation and get straight back in the SPL then I'll think really hard about trying to get a refund and chucking the whole thing altogether. Even with sanctions for the huns the whole set up would stink."Washing one's hands of the conflict between the powerful and the powerless means to side with the powerful, not to be neutral.' - Paulo Freire
