Nope and I wouldn't because that wasn't the deal and I'm honourable - unlike anyone who has and is suggesting it's a legitimate course of action because everything isn't great right now.
Of course, when renewals come round I think a lot of people have every right to annul. But not before.

Yes because attempting to cripple the club financially is the correct method of action when you're club needs your LOYAL support a fair bit right now. Some of the topics on here are just getting ridiculous. You would support the club if they were on the brink of the playoffs so support the club unreservedly when they go through small turmoil... its not much to ask.

No, I support the club through thick, thin & thinner and have done for 40 years.
No, and not planning to.

It's not a ridiculous topic of conversation and if where it would fit right in to NSC! I fear if a lot of people so this then the club won't allow this option next season. So don't do it. You're as bad as Buckley, Poyet Bridcutt etc

Have you ever written a banner for Ipswich fans?

Cant believe any true fan would cancel their Season ticket because we are going through a rough patch. Even if we get relegated i will still renew my two tickets.

I've supported the club through worse times than this. Why on earth would I cancel?

The bitter end was 17 years ago.
Supporting a team when they are doing well is easy. The true test of a supporter comes when a team is going through a tough time, as it is now.

I agree it's not great at the moment but if you think 6th from bottom in the Championship is worthy of cancelling your ST you haven't been supporting this club very long.

What next demanding a refund everytime the team fail to win a game by at least 4-0, or if any of the goals are scored in the last ten minutes after you have left the ground.
LOL
I think, the recent poor run of form not withstanding, that my season ticket represents remarkably good value compared with some of the alternative ways I might have to spend 40-odd quid a month. If anything, despite the poor results, I've enjoyed the matches I've seen this season more than those I'd seen by the same period last season.
In any case, the only way in my view to get real value and enjoyment from following and supporting the team is to stick with it for the long haul -- in my experience you enjoy the good bits even more, if you've been there through some of the bad bits.
So I would have no intention of cancelling my direct debit (even if I did, I think I would still be contractually liable for the rest of the season's payments). Likewise, assuming I'm not made redundant in the meantime or face some other financial catastrophe, I will renew next year and subsequent years, even if the team is relegated this season (which I don't think is likely, by the way).
As far as I can see, the Championship is an extremely close league, and two teams with very little difference between them in terms of quality can end up separated by some distance in points terms, just on the basis of a run of good or bad luck. It's currently going against us, but even with a slightly worse squad than last season, I don't think that will necessarily continue.

Silly old bat
Why would you cancel your direct debit when you've have to pay in full, in any case?
Seriously, are you just a good time fan?
