The Humble Realist Posted June 8, 2020 Report Share Posted June 8, 2020 https://www.bcfc.co.uk/news/remaining-201920-league-fixtures-confirmed/ I like how the club 'respectfully 'asks us not to contact supporter services yet doesn't treat us with any respect by giving us an update on what is happening (or a timescale e.g. by the end of the week ) for when they will announce a refund policy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The medium is also unhelpful for all but the simplest messages e.g. "CHINA" because it's limited length and time limited, it flows out of view quickly. Honestly twitter isn't really good for much meaningful communication. On here you'd have a much higher success rate and be able to explain things more fully.

Loco Rojo Posted June 8, 2020 Report Share Posted June 8, 2020 1 hour ago, Steve Watts said: If you can switch off your emotional attachment to a club and start supporting a rival are you even a fan in the first place? What a bizarre question to ask him LR. The suggestion of supporting one of their rivals was said tongue in cheek. But I dont think it was bizzare to question if it is the right club for him when you consider the tone of the words/statements he uses. If the current owners are there for long run and that's how he feels, it might be time to move on and have the love of the memories of better times. Fair enough, now I know the context of the owners situation and what they are doing to the club but if I felt like him about City if the same was happening I think I'd pack it in.

Nothing as of yet but I'd imagine they will have to offer a FULL refund. Season ticket holders get to watch all 9 games streamed where the rest of us have to pay £10 if we wish to watch the NON TV ONE'S.

SC&T Board Members Blagdon red Posted June 8, 2020 SC&T Board Members Report Share Posted June 8, 2020 Fulham now the latest Championship club to declare their hand on refunds. I make it ten so far, as follows: 1. QPR pro-rata season ticket refunds will also be made available in due course 2. Derby County Option 1: 17% Pro-rated Refund for 2019/20 Season Option 2: 20% Discount for 2020/21 Season Ticket Renewal Option 3: 10% Discount for 2020/21 Season Ticket Renewal Plus Free RamsTV Subscription for Home andAway Behind Closed Doors Matches Option 4: Vouchers for 4 x 2020/21 Season Home League Match Tickets Option 5: No refund required, please consider it my contribution to the club 3. Huddersfield Town The Club hopes that as many 2019/20 Season Card holders as possible take up the option of the iFollow pass, but the option of a pro-rata refund will also be available 4. WBA Full details will be announced across our media platforms on Monday, which will include the opportunity to claim a refund for those season-ticket holders who wish to do so. 5. Swansea Please note that this free and exclusive offer is not available to those redeeming their season ticket with a partial refund on their ticket. 6. Sheffield Wednesday Other options will include a pro rata refund 7. Hull City 2 month payment holiday on their annual ST scheme, equivalent to a pro rata refund of the cost of 4 home games 8. Middlesbrough To all our Season Card Holders who have missed out on the final four games of this season, we are offering a pro-rata credit on your ticketing account which can be used against future purchases including Season Cards and match tickets. This process will happen automatically, and confirmation will be sent. If you do require a refund instead of a credit please contact ticket@mfc.co.uk 9. Fulham From today, Season Ticket Holders will be able to choose one of four options: Access to watch all nine (9) remaining league matches – home and away – live on FFCtv; or A pro-rata credit towards a 2020/21 Season Ticket; or A pro-rata refund for Fulham’s remaining home league games; or A donation to Fulham FC Foundation 10. Millwall (No refunds) The club hopes that this compensation package represents a fair and reasonable settlement for all season ticket holders in what is an unprecedented and financially challenging predicament completely outside of its control (though The Athletic reports that they are now backtracking on their 'no refunds' stance).

Twitter really does seem to be the better place to me. This place is better for gauging fan views in my opinion. Twitter's character limit means that debate becomes clipped and things can only be discussed in summary. The club are wary of this place (imo) because they've been held to account many many times. Often in intelligent ways that they cannot/don't want to respond to. It's an incredibly busy forum, at a guess maybe only WACCOE and possibly OwlsTalk are busier for championship clubs.

CodeRed Posted June 9, 2020 Report Share Posted June 9, 2020 There's an EFL update on the OS, mainly concerning L1 and L2 butwhich goes on yet again state that BCFC are going to stream all the games on BCTV. The sheer cheek of this paragraph in City's statement https://www.bcfc.co.uk/news/efl-update-outcome-of-extraordinary-general-meeting/ With the 2019/20 Championship season returning behind closed doors, Season Card Holders are reminded that they will be able to watch all nine of City’s remaining fixtures for free, including any which are selected for broadcast by Sky Sports, on Robins TV. For Free !! So that would be games we've already paid for ,to watch the stream sold previously by the club for £14.99 per monthly *pass and now being offered (imposed) in lieu of something fans have already paid for (£88) in my case. They owe me 88 quid and are offering something that was £14.99 (for free!) - the £14.99 pass has now been conveniently repriced at £10 per game. * In the FAQ's on BCTV there's a question : What if there is no game scheduled during a particular month. Answer : Basically tough...no refund because if there are more games due to re schedules etc we don't charge any more. Except they do don't they? The rules have been torn up and the £14.99 to watch every game in a month is now £90. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are not charging season ticket holders to watch the games, so therefore it's free. You seem to be working on the assumption that the club will not be refunding season ticket holders for the remaining games. I think it might be worth waiting until the club actually confirm this before getting so angry And as for the price, games have always been £10 per game for viewers in the UK. The only monthly option was for those living overseas. So, it hasn't been increased at all. I just don't understand why people are getting so angry about a lack of refunds when the club haven't said anything of the sort. If you want to get angry about the lack of communication, that's entirely understandable, but no point kicking off about something that's not been confirmed.

The season ticket holders have already paid approx £80 - £100 for this part of the season. So it's not free. The only way it's free is if they refund everybody and still offer them a free stream.....which they are not doing. EFL clubs who have offered refunds state it's one of the option available - you can't have both. So it's not free. There's no scenario where anybody is getting anything for free.
