Not sure that’s true. You can have a credit, not get the streaming, and still be considered a season ticket holder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also doesn’t make it clear that I won’t be affected discount etc wise next season. Dolls, you have to consider this seasons’ ticket and next seasons’ ticket as two entirely separate entities. The options laid out refer to this seasons’ ticket only. If you ask for a refund, you will be given a partial refund on this seasons ticket - nothing to do with your season ticket for next season whatsoever. In receiving a refund, you effectively cease to become a season ticket holder for the remainder of this season and therefore lose all the benefits associated with it. But that all restarts again with next season’s ticket, which you aren’t being refunded for. It does mean you wouldn’t automatically be entitled to a Wembley ticket, but my guess is refunded STH would be first in line after those who didn’t ask for a refund, and before members.

ChippenhamRed Posted June 12, 2020 Report Share Posted June 12, 2020 Don’t know if this has been mentioned already, but note the credit option is valid up until May 2021, which means it could be used towards a season ticket for the 2021/2022 season.

optored Posted June 12, 2020 Report Share Posted June 12, 2020 I can't see how it is legally enforceable that you have to claim a refund by midday Tuesday. You are entitled to a refund for any service/product not supplied. It's not up to Bristol sport to decide when you apply for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As there is considerable doubt at present that fans will even be able to attend games at the start of next season, then I would say that scenario was of the incredibly optimistic variety. They simply cannot say how next season will play out, I have shelled out in excess of £500 in advance for that myself but don’t expect them to start making any decisions on that at least 2 months before it will possibly start.

ralphindevon Posted June 12, 2020 Report Share Posted June 12, 2020 Option 1 is the only option that will have money going to the academy, so i think i'll chose that.

The Humble Realist Posted June 12, 2020 Report Share Posted June 12, 2020 This all bodes well for how they handle the inevitable need to offer refunds and streaming options for 2020/2021 season. I'm going to take the cash refund , I have sky so can watch 2 matches plus any more that get added e.g. a crunch last game of the season v Preston. Il purchase streaming on a week by week basis depending on how the season pans out. Unfortunately the club (and they are not alone) do nothing to help fans when times are good so I don't see why I should go.out of my way when times are bad. Out of interest, why would anyone select option 1 instead of option 2. You get your name on the shirt in option 2 . It's not like you get any benefit from donating to the academy , the club will just put less in themselves so I dont see the point , did I misinterpret this ?

dunsteral Posted June 12, 2020 Report Share Posted June 12, 2020 Why would anybody who is not claiming a refund choose option 2 over option 1 ?. If you dont want a refund you would presumably choose option .1 so that the money you are forfeiting would go to the academy. What happens to the money produced by option 2 ?

"We need your money to keep paying overinflated contracts and now might struggle to pay." From Jon Lansdown (Son of Steve Lansdown - Billionaire) It just doesn't have the same ring to it does it? It's all corporate detached marketing which sums up modern day football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt they budget and allocate so much to each part of running the club, but money from one part is covered by money coming elsewhere so it’s all pretty much the same thing.

Your last point is exactly my question. I must be missing something as to why the money isn’t available for the academy . Surely the cost of shirt print etc is governed by demand and they make a profit if they sell them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
