Keep the pressure on the regime to sell , DO NOT RENEW. Another significant drop in sales will mean attendances will be more accurate to the announced figure and Roland will have to set the sale price of the cloob at a more realistic level.
If CARD call for a season ticket boycott I will not Renew if no call for a boycott I will renew
You need to make your own mind up. I didn't renew & won't renew until Duchatelet has sold up. That's my decision, I wouldn't presume to tell you what to do. I doubt CARD will either.
From my perspective, one last push to help encourage Duchatelet & confirm his decision the project won't succeed. Holding off on the season ticket purchase will help that along IMO. He will not think his strategy is at fault but will blame it on the 'vinegarpissers'. Don't care about that as long as Duchatelet sells up Asap & takes Meire with him.
Although I'd like people to completely boycott, I think CARD encouraging fans to hold off until July/August would be best! Least then people will be more inclined to listen as there's the added value of "we may have a new owner in August" etc

Why do you need CARD to tell you ? They didn't tell us to in summer 2016 & yet 40% of season ticket holders refused to renew because that was what they chose to do. Come on step over the line it's easy, you can always renew when our new owners arrive. In the mean time there is so much you can do to fill up empty saturdays.
I don't think CARD should call for a boycott of ST's as it is happening anyway. What might be an idea is for CARD or protest fund to hold a register of former ST holders who commit to renew on new ownership. I'd be happy to lodge £100 with the protest fund to be held by them.

Don't think that would be a good step for CARD, would go against support the team not the regieme stance
I have no idea what CARD plan to do, but feel it's gone beyond that now, and a full boycott might just be enough to tip RD over the edge. Is there any point in supporting the team when no money is being spent on it, and the best players flogged off to increase his bank balance?

We won't be using the Protest Fund to collect pledges/deposits for future STs. We are keen to keep the fund to its original purpose and wouldn't want to muddy the waters or have to track which payments are intended for which purpose.
CAS Trust took "pledges" to renew STs under new ownership last year so may well look at that aspect again.

It's your choice not theirs.
PS I'm not a part of CARD but I chose to not renew my ST.
Up to you but seems an odd excuse.

They recommended S/T holder's hold out for as long as possible before renewing, to send a clear message to the owners.
Some CARD members attend & pay. Some attend and don't pay and some don't attend.
It's really up to you mate, there is no right or wrong. Do what you want to do.
Are you currently boycotting or not?
Are you are saying that if Card instruct people to boycott then you will attend? I don't really understand what you're trying to say.
I'm going to re read your messages to see if I'm missing your point.
If no one calls a boycott I will renew hope this helps
Decision made.
You're quite happy to renew, but if a bunch of people calling themselves CARD tell you to boycott, you're happy to go along with it?
Grow a pair and get behind the team!
1. a new owner that seemed like a step up
2. a 20% across the board cuts on all adult season tickets and 10% decrease on concessions
What does everyone think might happen with season ticket sales? Would sales go up the 30% necessary to offset the price decrease?
If RD sells, and we get ambitious and competent new owners, the feel good factor would boost crowds significantly anyway
