The Humble Realist Posted June 15, 2020 Report Share Posted June 15, 2020 https://www.bcfc.co.uk/news/options-for-201920-season-card-holders/ The club have removed the FAQs which details how to get a full refund. This now implies you only have three options. The FAQs are however on the article john lansdown has posted which has a much better tone. Why have the club removed the refund bit from the main article? That article is now very misleading for fans if they dont read John lansdowns message. At least the email supporters received included it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SC&T Board Members Blagdon red Posted June 15, 2020 SC&T Board Members Report Share Posted June 15, 2020 24 minutes ago, Redemption said: Yes, had the same. Sent two separate E Mails for a pro-rata refund for my sons and mine. Received just the one automated reply to the first E Mail. Think others have had the same, so I guess their system recognises this and it will be the same for everyone. incidentally, I’m still waiting for a refund for 2 Blackburn away tickets despite a phonecall in early May and 2 follow up E Mails. maybe if I turn up In Blackburn on Saturday they might take pity and let me in My personal guess about this: I suspect this is as a result of the settings they have used for their 'auto reply' function. By default I think most auto-reply functions only reply to the first mail received from a given e-mail address (that's to stop you receiving zillions of 'on vacation' replies while a work colleague cc'd in all mails is on a 3-week holiday; you just get notified the first time you send them a mail that they are away and are not notified again if you persist in sending them mails / cc'ing them despite knowing they are away). If that is how City have the function set up, it would explain why people are only getting one reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alandicks Posted June 15, 2020 Report Share Posted June 15, 2020 Just rang the club, after being on hold for 45 mins. as stated above they only auto reply to one email. In fairness the lady on the end of the line was well pi??ed off but still very helpful. One of my season ticket holders had not received an email and she informed me of the option on Jon Lansdown's latest statement and sighed deeply !! Thought she did remarkably well to keep herself from swearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lenred Posted June 15, 2020 Report Share Posted June 15, 2020 Very good to see them admit they got it wrong first up. Ill criticise when they have got it wrong imho but also very happy to congratulate them when they get it right and it’s always good when people admit mistakes and rectify so good on them for addressing it - makes the situation a lot more palatable and forges a sense of togetherness. Let’s hope that continues in all areas moving forwards as, as much as there is a lot in the ‘together we are stronger’ saying that we as a club could learn and benefit from.

Bristol Rob Posted June 15, 2020 Report Share Posted June 15, 2020 The reason I never got the mail was down the the club having an email address i had almost 25 years ago associated with my account!

Dynamite Red Posted June 15, 2020 Report Share Posted June 15, 2020 I am glad JL has come out with pretty much an apology for this absolute mess and the shit-fest of a statement Friday, at least he has added some much needed care and understanding in his statement. If he had done that on Friday the club would happily have my money, unfortunately I hit the refund option as soon as I read Fridays statement in utter disgust, hopefully this is a lesson learnt by the club.

Have received that sickly email. Not genuine, in fact clearly a reaction to criticism on here and about as insincere as it could be. The claim that Options 1 and 2 make you a "Legend". The fact that Option 4 was a refund, but was hidden in the small print and not even presented as Option 4. Just one word for it. Deplorable. In any case why anyone would want to donate their hard earned wages to subsidise players wages of £10-£20k pw or whatever, beats me. Almost 40 years ago I happily bought shares for what, for me then, was the equivalent of a weeks wages, money which I did not expect or want to receive back. The club and football in general is nothing like what it was. All in all not a difficult decision to confirm refunds for 6 tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Rob Posted June 15, 2020 Report Share Posted June 15, 2020 No later than Friday.... so if you don't get your code, you won't be watching. If they said, 'no later than Thursday' it would give them 24 hours to help those who are/were waiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
italian dave Posted June 15, 2020 Report Share Posted June 15, 2020 Can't do wrong for doing right springs to mind. One post criticises JL for being an 'amateur' trying to run the club, another for (supposedly) getting a professional to write something. And I reckon some people wouldn't be happy even if JL arrived ta their door on bended knee, with a handwritten code for every game and a free season ticket for next year. The first email wasn't great: they've had the balls to admit it, hold their hands up and try to put it right. (Some humility that maybe the likes of Dominic Cummings could learn from). JL is a City fan, I listen to him on the OSIB podcast they did with him last year, and he came across as someone who genuinely wants what's good for the club, and who knows what being a fan means.

Have they changed this? Most live streaming sites eg Twitch restrict access for under 13s. I suspect something similar for the T&C for Robins TV. Could probably get round it by asking parents to sign something, but whether they have the ability to do this I don’t know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there was another option where they could put credit on your season ticket. Let's say 10% off your credit each time you purchase food and drink, club shop or coffee shop. That would have been the option I would have gone for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And of course the club would have acted the way it ulrimately did if not a squeak was heard from fans.... Like **** it would. The "mistake" was thinking people would bend over en masse and take one for the club. No mistake, simply arrogance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My question would be if thr person who purchased the ticket bought one for someone else with a BS number do they apply for the refund for both or does each person have to apply for their refund individually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrrr Posted June 26, 2020 Report Share Posted June 26, 2020 Just an observation on another club, Swansea offered an option of a 'lucky dip' where fans were given several items of kit/training kit/leisure clothing in exchange for not getting a refund, probably a good option for those with kids as an exchange for the cost of their season ticket if they can do without needing a refund.
