Not renewing mine and the wife's, season tickets for years now, but can't pay it next season for what we have to suffer, Adams resigns could be a different case

They have a billionaire owner subsidising them and building basically a new stadium for them + increased TV money, whereas we need every single penny of those season tickets.
I have to admit, after many years as a season ticket holder and regular attender at Home Park I have found myself seriously questioning the level of enjoyment and value I get from it. I probably will renew, but I have never felt anywhere near as close to not renewing as I currently do.
To be honest, it actually matters relatively little to me what division we are in - I just find watching Argyle under Adams a terribly dreary and frustrating experience despite the side playing, at times, some of the best attacking football I have seen at Home Park for years (the fact that they can do this but so frequently don't makes things SO much worse). We have had glimpses (runs of up to 10 games) when we see so much potential and then it all deflates so quickly back to utter rubbish. It's really been VERY, VERY crap being an Argyle fan for the last 10 years or so. Even when (arguably) we should have won things we didn't (play-off final, League 2 title, League 1 play-off place). And whatever the outcome of this season (League 1 or League 2), we're faced with ANOTHER summer having absolutely no clue what sort of side we will have come August. We've not seen a single player come up through the youth set-up and establish themselves in the side in recent years (at least I can't think of one off the top of my head). We've not sold a single player upwards for money in recent years (something that whilst annoying when it happens and you lose a good player nevertheless brings in money that can help to finance the squad). we've had a squad full of players who virtually never play (Wootton, Moore, Wylde, Ainsworth, Fletcher, Dyson etc.). There's no getting away from it, it's just rubbish really. We even have the most depressing, dull, green colour that you could possibly imagine - no other club could do that.

Cheer up. It's a long tunnel but there's always a light at the end. (I hope).
You're not alone in questioning the financial and emotional value of committing again though.
Has anyone else tried to use the new finance company yet?
The club site says it'll give you an instant decision, yet after my application I just got a page saying "We will review your details and get back to you"

That reads like a polite way of saying no to me... [I'm joking]
I guess it all hinges on your definition of 'instant'.

It's made worse by some of the people I have to sit near. There's one guy a few seats to my left who anytime an Argyle player gets the ball in a yard of space within 40 yards of the opposition goal shouts 'SHOOOOT!'. I have to mutter 'No, don't do that' under my breath each time just for the sake of correctness.
