What's peoples thoughts on the season ticket situation should no more games take place or a reduced amount of games. Personally I would not want a refund for my season tickets. I paid last August for it so the money has well gone now. I would also happily continue and pay for next year this August. I have also recently set up an additional 2 lines on the lotto. Every little helps. The club will need its supporters to continue supporting during these tough months/year ahead.

I work a rotating shift pattern and this was the first time in three seasons that the way our home fixtures dropped made it viable to buy a season ticket so sods law this has happened.
The money was budgeted for though so I won't be after a refund even if the club offers one, if my couple of hundred helps us have a club next year then it's money well spent as far as I'm concerned.
Not everyone's in the same boat as me though, I've been classified as a key worker so so far I'm still getting a steady wage, I fully appreciate others may need every penny they can get though and may need the money back.

It was said about the football that clubs wouldn’t be obliged to give refunds/partial refunds as it’s an act of god. It will be a tough one to sort, hopefully it will only be a couple of months missed and the club could offer challenge cup and play off tickets for the season ticket holder who have missed out on games.

I wouldn't ask for a refunds too am classed as a critical worker and I bought my season ticket last august,i would hope though if the season is scrapped then some sort of offer on next seasons ticket would come to play, say half price, for instance but I do fully understand if people do seek refunds when the time comes, money is going to be tight for most if not all of us.

I. do though think come hell or high water they will try and get the season played though.

A noble gesture, but as yet I haven't seen the same from within to take a pay freeze/cut.

I would think that any home games that aren’t played this year could be offset against next years season ticket. If we lose four games this year then it’s a simple calculation of. Season ticket price divided by total home games is £££ amount per game.
Multiply this figure by the amount of games lost and deduct this figure from next years season ticket. I probably went around the houses there but hopefully you get the gist

Then we lose more money as a club next year.

But you would keep the majority of season ticket holders. Whether it’s right or wrong some people will expect some kind of refund. I’m quite happy to pay full whack next season, there’s another option then..give people the choice whether to take the refund or pay full price.

The vast majority of the Season Ticket holders will earn much less than the vast majority of the playing and coaching staff.

Where is the logic in the poor subsidising the lifestyle of the rich?

If it keeps the clubs head above water i am happy to take a hit. It is down to the individual person to make the call i suppose. I think anyone paying monthly will have a different view and probably rightly so. Even if the club offer any form of a refund or discount for next year i wouldn’t take it.

Not every ST holder will be able to afford to lose the money. Those that pay by DD for example would probably welcome the money from this season back if the season doesn't happen to allow them to pay for next years upfront and not lose £30 a month for 6 months or whatever it is (I don't know as I pay in full usually) or receive some form of discount.

Thankfully so far I am "as you were" during this and so hopefully would be able to write it off if it came to it but not everybody would so I think the club (and all clubs really) needs to give the fans a reasonable choice rather than make the decision for them or they risk losing ST holders and fans next season or whenever we next get back to it.

How they’d just have to budget better for it,the clubs will hopefully know their fan base is suffering too,they’re duty bound to offer a cut in price as compensation,they are a business not a charity after all

I thought I saw Man Utd saying they would?

They are yes. They can afford it. Others won't be able to.

Would lose money because they would not get as much money in from season tickets if they reduced the cost by any missed games this year. By budget better do you mean buy a lesser quality of player? Which then gives people another stick to beat IFL with because he isnt signing top players? I just don't get why anyone who has already paid there money out months ago would ask for it back? Like i posted before i understand the ones paying on the drip might not want to continue there monthly payments but am pretty sure they will be legally bound to do so. I am sure the club will offer something back, personally if i was the club i would offer everyone a voucher for the shop,say £100 voucher, that way then the club don't lose as much but the fans gain something.

If the club didn't do anything then there is a chance that they will lose a lot more money as fans would feel as they were being conned (again) and ultimately not buy a season ticket for next year. Hopefully none of this matters though and we get to see all the games being played albeit by an extension to the season, who knows we might get a Wigan v Saints boxing day match yet

I'm not going to comment on the issue regarding season tickets and people wanting mo ey back etc.
Every club, every season ticket holder, every situation is different and there will boots of difficult decisions to be made moving forward.

But what I will.comment on is the statement
"If the club didn't do anything then there is a chance that they will lose a lot more money as fans would feel as they were being conned (again) "

Conned again?

I know this is going to turn into a long thread and my reply will not help, but please, do you really mean that?

I haven't "lost" money. I have paid for something which I might not get, the money has already gone and the club need it more than me.

I'd rather sacrifice a couple of hundred quid and still have the club around in years to come than any other scenario, each to their own though.

You know what, my plan worked a treat and that’s all I will say on the matter.

Well done
You must be so proud











I'll know from now on that anything you post you dont really mean

Who ever does what in the long run the club is going to loose money big time . What worries me is this weeks paper headlines that Quins would be willing to pay big money for Jackson Hastings will be music to Mr Lennigans ears as NRL clubs might not be in a position to splash the cash for a good while . The books need to be balanced some way .

Well we were conned in 2017 into paying for more home games than we played

If peoples expectations are too high they will always be disappointed.
And knowing how pessimistic you are I doubt you planned for play offs

It does make me laugh when we get the usual suspects on here moaning about prices to watch the rugby when there's no rugby to watch!
Love it!

Me? Pessimistic?
