What if refunding season ticket holders was the difference between the club surviving or going under?


Exactly, I for one will certainly not be demanding my money back, if the club decide to reduce the cost of a future ST as compensation fair enough. Thats if i,m still around to get one.

As far as I am concerned if needed I am more than happy to write-off my ST if it helps the club.

Most of the remaining games worked out for free anyway.


When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

It won’t be. STH will need refunding for the games that are being held behind closed doors. We have 5 home games remaining so that’s 5/23 = a 21.7% refund.

I appreciate some people won’t like that. However we all pay for a service and it that isn’t provided then customers deserve to be refunded for the part of the service they didn’t receive.


The club need the money (which left our wallets like 10 months ago) more than ever. Whatever happens now it belongs to them as far as I am concerned. Rather that than not having a club to support at all.

Why would the club refund the money? It’s not their fault. You’ve already paid the money out so you’re not missing something you didn’t have

It's not the fault of the season ticket holders either. All League One season ticket holders were refunded (one way or another) for losing a home match because of Bury being expelled.

Personally I wouldn't expect the money back as a refund if the remaining 5 league games are played behind closed doors. I would be happy for the money to be discounted off our season tickets for 2020/21 season.

It wouldn't be. Season ticket sales were around the 2,500 sold / £550,000 mark this season. STHs would be entitled to refunds totalling around £120,000 if games were either cancelled or played without fans.

£120,000 is not going to make much difference to a club given that every season Fenty takes £200-250k out of the club to repay his "benign" loans, the PL have agreed to forward future solidarity payments for next season early and as soon as we're back the club can start selling season tickets for next season.

Remember also, the club has reduced running costs through the shutdown by furloughing all staff.

Belts will need to be tightened. Ex-Chairmen will have to wait to take further funds out of the club. But the clubs isn't in danger of going under in the short-medium term.

Depends what in the t-c's.
I'd be very surprised if they are legally obliged to.
Tickets for postponed games are typically valid for the rearranged date.
If you can't make it possibly refund or credit etc.

Another question arises. If games restart in June and July (whether with crowds or behind closed doors) would 3PM be a suitable kick-off time? Would a later kick-off time be more appropriate for the time of year. Maybe 6PM to avoid the hottest part of the summer days?

Of course the club will legally be obliged to refund ticket holders should matches be cancelled or played behind closed doors.

Incorrect.

Behind closed doors is according to t & c's
