Re: From the owner
I think that is excellent given the circumstances we are in, there should be something for everyone within those options........

Re: From the owner
We have gone for option C, that way the club keeps the money and we get something also. Shame I have already pre-ordered my shirt.

Re: From the owner
Just reading on EADT that the most contentious issue is that the full refund will be drip-fed over 10 months.
Not for me to say - and some may really need the money - but if they bought the season ticket a year ago - wouldn’t people have mentally accepted the money was gone then? And if the season had ended properly, then would people have really got their money’s worth ( “we lost 3- 0 at home to Bolton, but at least I got my money’s worth”). I think buying a season ticket to watch football is totally different to, say, buying a new oven - you can’t really guarantee anything and you can’t ask for a refund if you’ve hit a bumpy road or have a long blip.
It might feel the club Is playing with people’s money, but if the club gave full refunds back at once, then it would hit the club even more. I can understand what they’re doing and I think most would accept that.

Re: From the owner
I agree entirely, that money was gone in the eyes of everyone who bought a ST, yes some may need the money back now and they will get it, its hardly life changing sums.

Re: From the owner
Yep totally agree. I actually went with Option B, as IF we get back to see live games i can get some "free" cup match tickets or take someone else along for a match or two. And if we dont get to see live matches, then the money is in the club and they dont lose out.
