The ST renewals are broadly the same time every year - there have been 'early bird' offers in the past though.
That said, our year end is 30th June - this is the key date for accounting/PSR purposes, so delaying renewal until our fate was known for 2 weeks is of no detriment.
Would I renew with a modest increase if relegated = YES.
That said, IF we get relegated, you wonder how many others would actually renew at those inflated prices - but with the window closing with 2 games left, the choice is somewhat taken away.
This could go very wrong - how many of those 11000 'waiting in the wings' will pay £700 for Championship football?
I've used £700 because this is the category impacted the most and whilst we 'could' move to cheaper seats, the renewal still has to be done before the window closes.
Theoretically, if we move to say Lower Trent End or Capital One Corner (as was), then the 'refund' is broadly equivalent to what we paid last year (excluding the increase for 'new' punitive youth category) & thus, the club have to refund monies!
Furthermore, if you pay on a credit card and then we get relegated, you can use the DCS protection of CCA and seek a full refund from the credit card provider, who gets reimbursed by the club.
As I said, this could become very messy!
What's worse, is that despite the backlash from most supporters groups - the silence from our supposed lifelong Forest fan Chairman is deafening. His disconnect is worse than that of Rishi Sunak.
