It's nothing to do with Mr Moyes or the performance of the team, we have no right to win any game, never mind a trophy, it's a protest against the board and its total lack of any plan to move the club into the 21st century.

I have spoken to several of my Evertonian friends and almost to a man, they are not going to take up their renewal for next season. Maybe, just maybe, this form of protest will wake these people up, but don't hold your breath. There is an agenda here that I cannot understand, allowing a once peerless club to become a laughing stock, with onlookers scratching their heads in disbelief.

Tony, I haven't had a season ticket since I lived in Manchester in the 1980s but imagine that anyone who is not renewing goes through a bit of soul searching first.

Before I turn this into a board issue, I have followed Everton through thick in thin from relegation into Champions League, least to say I love the club. However, the club isn't moving forward not least because of Kenwright.

I love Everton, however, we need investment; until we receive this, I will not be following an Everton game; however this does not mean I don't support them ? it means I don't support the regime! COYB

I did actually e.mail the club in respect of what a lot of people are saying and actually got a good response. I will not publish it as I said I wouldn't. But I felt better for doing it.

As others have said, I support Everton and can't give it up, but understand why some people feel they have to.

I too will not be renewing my season ticket, the reason being that I am no longer prepared to put my hard-earned cash into OUR club whilst people with ownership of OUR club will not put any of their masses of money into OUR club.

It is my opinion that the people who own the club are allowing OUR club to survive solely on supporters & other outside revenues (Sky, league etc). This safeguards their asset at our cost.

I have been a Blue since my father, also a Blue, took me to Stamford Bridge in 1966 for my first game and, to top it all, I was carried on the shoulders of my lifelong hero (Brian Labone, RIP) after the game.

I have experienced both highs & lows (too many lows to remember) ? the nerve jangling and stomach churning of the Wimbledon game; the heartache of losing to the Shite at Wembley... But as Blues we just persevere.

I have to pick myself up often skiving off work to make the 400-mile round trip for mid week games in all kinds of weathers. My heart is crying at the moment at what is happening to my club. I have all the problems of job uncertainty that a lot of people have and a recent letter from the taxman saying I owe him the equivalent of ten season tickets for my son & I (despite me knowing that this thieving tory Govt are wrong).

I shall somehow find the money to fund my son's & my season ticket in another part of the ground ? because I live in hope of the glory days returning again. I don't give a flying fuck for Kenwright & his cronies but I love My Everton.

Yes, support the club above all else, most would tend to agree. But the club seems to have lost all perspective under this regime, it has transformed into a different animal entirely. Does it still bear resemblance to any romantic notion we have of our once proud and great institution? What is left of it that you are showing support for, may I ask? The pride and ambition has slowly ebbed away, eroded and replaced by complacency and cowardice.

There's people who have sat by me for years, through the Walter Smith era, probably Mike Walker as well, and I have heard them comment on how dour and uninspiring it has become to watch Everton, and that they are considering giving up their tickets. Are they fair-weather? Ask them to their faces, but I'd probably make sure you're not within slapping distance...

I won't be driven away from my own club by Kenwright's shite stewardship and I will laugh in the face of anybody claiming to be a better blue than me because they choose to withdraw their support.

There is no right or wrong; it's your money ? do what you want.

Eugene, Kenwright has absolutely zero input when I think about renewing my season ticket, I want to watch my team playing live football, nothing more, nothing less, but this doesn't fit in with your witty comments though does it?

I have renewed and will keep renewing because I want to watch Everton play football, Kenwright will eventually be gone and guess what, I will still be renewing then too.

See you at the match lads, apart from those who aren't renewing. Won't make my matchday experience any less than what it is now.

I will still go, but when it's a cold night in November, we are playing Blackburn at home, 5:30 KO, on ESPN, then I will have a choice, especially if the board has decided that we have had another blank transfer window, they are not going to sort out that fucking escalator to the Top Balcony, the sausage rolls are now £4 each and Fellaini is patrolling the Arsenal midfield, with Rodwell starring for Man Utd and England...

That is the power of customer choice, I don't have that now and have not had it for a long time, but I will next season!

I can honestly say thats the first time I've given him as much as a second thought while being at a match.

Right now, BK and his cronies are laughing at people like yourself, they'll be rubbing their hands together after they've given you some usual spiel probably consisting of a sizeable transfer budget available to the manager, no players will be sold and another "watch this space" catchphrase or similar before the transfer deadline when no players have come in.

He's taking people for mugs, but fall for the trap if you so wish.

Tony J, people are sick of paying ridiculous fees to watch games that are simply not enjoyable anymore. Going the match now is like a chore rather than a duty.

I'm sick of the morons running our club into the ground who just refuse to engage with supporters about issues. The idiots who made Everton fans wait 2 hours outside Upton Park for their tickets purchased 2 weeks before.

I've just given up with being treated like a walking pound sign so I'm another one who will no longer be contributing any revenue towards Everton.

The two lads to my right were absent yesterday... around me, in the Lower Gwladys, I counted another 20+ empty seats, and several strangers substituting in others ? a sign to me that, as Chris (#37) says, some fans are finding it a chore, now.

My lad, a home-and-away fanatic for years, is now finding he has "things to do" for certain home games, despite having paid in advance.

If I renew (doubt was unthinkable in the past), Reason 1 will be to preserve my spec, as I'm gradually having the passion flaked away, season by season.

Many of my mates have never had a season ticket yet manage most games, if not all

And as pointed out, not having a season ticket doesn't stop you going when you want to, does it? It merely gives you freedom of choice.

If all our matchday income and future Sky income goes to servicing our debt and Moyes gets nothing for his transfer kitty, then it's obvious the current model is unsustainable. There is a much bigger issue here than pre- and post-match bevvies with your mates.

My main reason for going was financial. When all is said and done, in difficult economic times, I could no longer afford it. For those packing in, next season will seem weird. But you will realise there are other ways to follow your team and still enjoy the game without suffering ridiculous prices and kick-off times, as well as poor facilities.

At the end of the day, footie is entertainment; nobody forces you to watch it and it's your right not too. If you pay 500 quid for a season ticket, it doesn't give you the right to question where the money is going and the right to demand investment in the first team squad or the stadium. I personally would still turn up even if we were in League 2 and had a first 11 comprising of octogenarians. It strikes me that football acts as an outlet for people's grievances and anger.

I stopped going a couple of years back... I tried to kidd myself it was as a protest at the crap football I was seeing. But in truth I have realised since there where many other real reasons, partly my inability to get there by myself (for medical reasons), partly because I could no longer get to meet my old mates (those who were left) in the Oak or the Harlech, I miss those few (???) pints & atmosphere which were all part of the day, but truthfully it was also partly financial as well. Do I miss it?? You bet your fucking life I do. So will all you guys who say you are giving up.

If you can afford to renew, think very hard before you give up because, believe me, it's harder than retiring from work... My daughters and other family members still have their season tickets and they, just like many of you, keep saying they are packing in cos they have had enough. They won't... "I have taught them to well" ? I hope...

So, week after week, I religiously now wait & sit listening to the radio, using my imagination, or watching our occasional televised match and so many memories, just as if I am there shouting and, yes, moaning & groaning but most of all inwardly SUPPORTING EVERTON, wishing I was able to be there....

Most of you are correctly & understandably fed up right now but by next July /August you will be raring to go again and thinking "things can only get better"... May not be true... but that is what we all will hope. Why do I believe this? Because I have seen it and been through it all before.

But at the end of the day, you will realise YOU ARE BORN AN EVERTONIAN... no-one ? be it player, board, chairman, or whatever ? can take that away, and do not allow them to even try.

In the words of the only Everton Player I have ever held in contempt.....Once a Blue, Always a Blue... believe me, for 99.9% that is absolutely true. Yes, you might call me an old fart but I wish I could still get to every Everton game, good or bad...

Currently there is nobody that seems to openly show their love and passion for the club, it is all about the money! Saha, £50k/wk; Arteta, £75k/wk, they should be ashamed of themselves... and I am glad Pienaar just moved away after rejecting a £60k/wk contract. We can't build this club on blood-sucking vampires like Arteta, when I look at his shitty performance this season I am disgusted, now he can retire and live the good life by playing shit for the rest of his contract.

I agree with Moyes that there has to be laid down a strategy, currently we have NONE and that I think pisses most people off. I would, however, keep supporting this club or else it will suffer come summer when we need to strengthen our squad, and if people stop buying season tickets then the money we will get from our position in the league will count for nothing as that will go to wage expenses.

Think before you act, as this will destroy the club you know, the people behind it will live, and so will Kenwright!!!!

Every player struggles with form from time to time, things you try don't come off, the energy is inexplicably missing, it just won't happen for you... and if you can't see that then you've never played the game at any level yourself.

Big Dunc was never in Arteta's league as a player, although, on his day, he was unplayable. Sadly, he was rarely on his day. He was always first off the pitch and seldom came and acknowledged the fans who paid his wages, yet I don't see any comments about HIS retirement in luxury in Majorca.

I have felt this way for some time, but they made their own decisions, and we will miss our trips to the "Old Lady", but we can keep our good memories for free, at least we have some! I wish real fans and 100% players the very best for the future.

One more time... not renewing or purchasing a season ticket is a matter of individual choice and financial priorities. It doesn't mean:

1) You're not a supporter;
2) You're a "lesser Blue"; or
3) You won't go to the match anymore.

So, sorry to disagree, but I don't believe True Blueishness is relative to the money you give the club (or give Bill to waste).

True Blue, my ringpiece... the guy's a cancer at the club and the arguments of not renewing being the killer of the club is a disgrace ? the killer has been there for 11 years and counting and fucked up every one of those years.

I am suggesting that Everton shouldn't be all about the money kind of club and that we should get more players like Duncan who burns for the club and would almost kill to play in a blue shirt; loyalty is what football should be about, not money.

By the way, Duncan Ferguson is one of Everton's greatest players so for you to dismantle his worth is a sign that you are a part time Everton man or that you haven't followed the club for as long as I have.

I will admit that Arteta has been important up until this season, but I have no respect for his wage demands as he is clearly not that stable in his performances. I would want Moyes to find more young talents that have a loyalty about them. We will never be a pure money club in the way Man City or Chelsea are and that is a big part of why I love this club. Just look at Man City as they have spent trillions and stil have trouble being among the 4th best in the Premier League, this shows that you have to look at the player types not just their status and high price tag.

Having been going for that length of time, Ferguson is not one of Everton's greatest players, believe me, although he certainly captured the imagination of the younger fans and did have the ability to stand out as our talisman in those days. I was merely pointing out that Ferguson was very well paid in his days at Everton and is enjoying the thing, a comfortable retirement, that you seem to think Arteta's not worthy of.

I think we may well agree that wage demands and the money slopping about in football have devalued the game. I find it difficult to have respect for the likes of, say, Pennant, a bloke who can "forget" that he left his Porsche at a railway station for weeks. Too many average men earning... sorry, receiving, vast amounts of money for very average talent.

And we DO agree that Everton are, and probably never will be, a moneyed club in the same league as the Mancs, City or Chelsea. But we are in a league above them as far as class goes.

The year after Rooney burst onto the scene, most seat's around me had been reserved by season ticket holder's, kid's, women, Dad's and lads etc. There was a sense of optimism as in the the nil satis nisi optimum spirit. Now it has been replaced by doom and gloom.
