ok I misunderstood - I thought you were implying that you don't go purely on the basis of the glazers. I can understand the other stuff because yes, obviously the 'matchday experience' has been more or less completely diluted at OT, I've found my own attendance (being a non-ST holder since 05, big game red) waning more and more - although that's also for external reasons. Generally though I find things to be what you make of them, I have plenty of mates who wouldn't dream of giving up their ST for any reason.
I've stuck with basically just doing euro aways (and domestics, the once-every-3-seasons i get a ticket) because the whole experience is vastly more enjoyable on the whole than OT for me - I accept it's very different of course, but the 'sacrifice' of not spending £1k on an ST (plus the additional costs of transport/food/drink 19+ times a season) and using that money for the euros is one I'm happy with. I still get to see the 'big' games for face value (aside from Madrid and Swansea where I had to pay over the odds for the first time in my life) and any other matches I fancy or happen to have the cash for.
