Mox Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 I've renewed purely on the basis of attending the England game at home and will make a decision on the other home games closer to the time. I won't be renewing my membership next time round for sure however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radian Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Depending on what our qualifing group for Euro 2020 is will influence my decision on renewing next time. Euros is our best chance of seeing Scotland in a tournament so if we get a group with a realistic chance we'll qualify I'll give it one more go. Been a member since the 04 campaign and it's getting a bit expensive for nothing in return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been a member since the 04 campaign and it's getting a bit expensive for nothing in return. Agree Euro 2020 is possible, but what has dawned on me in the past few years is that even if we qualify for a tournament I will never have enough away points to get an official ticket (currently on 3 which is more than normal) What am I paying for then? A guaranteed home ticket? Has there been a game in recent memory where I couldnt have got a ticket from somewhere.... Not to my recollection, in fact even well attended games in the last campaign had hundreds of away fans who had scooped up Scotland tickets easily enough, so they are obviously not worth the premium that supporters club membership requires. When I joined it was a friendly travel club with some good perks, now its just a way of the SFA paying the wage bill. When combined with the ridiculous ticket prices it wasn't that difficult to walk away this time around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That pretty much sums up perfectly my thoughts (and many comments I've heard/read) and why I've not signed up again. Sad but true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddardStark Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Me and the lad renewed. Not sure why other than a guaranteed ticket for both England games. Doubt our points total will qualify us for the rest of the away games in the campaign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fringo Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Has it been mentioned already and/or has anyone noticed not receiving any emails from the SSC about membership elapsing ? Plenty of email notifications about matches and promotions etc but as renewals come round no gentle reminders etc. Not that I mind, but you'd think that any organisation trying to retain memberships (and the cash cow) would do something like that.

Franky, the less crap on any subject received from the SFA's Marketing Arm, the better. Out of over 400 e-mails received from them in the last two years, about twenty have had any relevance to what I signed up for (away games).

It's just seems strange (or maybe not with their recent track record and disregard) at their lack of interest in trying to remind current members about renewals.
