Alex_BCFC Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 They will offer options shortly no doubt - likely to be on a similar basis to how it was for end of last season. In which case I think a lot more will take the refund and wait to see what happens before paying for games. Personally id like for club to keep my money and move my ST for 21-22. Then I can decide what games to watch on bcfctv or whatever it’s called. I would go back to games now if given the choice but I can’t see that happening sadly (as long as you don’t have to wear mask). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope they tell you to do one, you are deluded What are you talking about? You’ve paid for a product that the club literally can not provide you with. Of course you should have a refund whilst maintaining your option on that seat. It’s getting on for six months since I paid in full for 2020/21 season and it’s not looking likely we will be able to attend games during that time. Why shouldn’t I get my money back when the club can’t provide me with what I’ve paid for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
man in the middle Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 I want a full refund if I’m unable to attend all games and don’t care if I lose my seat or not. I’d rather have my money back and save it for games when it’s all back to normal again. Hope to go to more away games than home to be honest.

But hopefully the jobs market will have picked up by early next year should people who have been pushed into financial hardship by this pandemic lose all rights to their seat for the season after just because they need the money? I will not be seeking a refund as I do not need the money currently, but if offered I will take it and I have no desire to keep my seat for the season after as frankly I am considering chucking the towel in and giving up on City all together.

I would go back to games now if given the choice but I can’t see that happening sadly With my ticket, each Robins TV game cost about £12.5 , that's before you take into account the games on Sky. If I paid per game it would be £10 each, so I will probably take the refund when available . I can't see crowds back until there is a vaccine, and even the 30% attendance has it's own problems. The Gov already backtracked on an early return to live sport, rumours of a second wave when schools return etc. There must be a real doubt over this entire season, it would seem the sensible option.

westonred Posted August 11, 2020 Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 I think all clubs will have to issue refunds to season ticket holders. What are the options TV Package I'm not paying £500 to watch it on TV. If only 5,700 fans are allowed in per game how could that work I am unable to get to evening matches due to work so if i was chosen for evening game i couldn't go anyway. People would want to see the bigger more attractive matches so this wouldn't be fair which ever way it was done. So through no fault of our Club the future looks bleak at the moment and they will have to issue refunds for services not provided I am sure this is why we went for the cheap option for Manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am very disappointed with the appointment of Dean Holden, so this makes me even more tempted to potentially accept a refund if the offer is there. I can't see us being able to attend ALL games this season as mentioned... Thoughts? They know the feeling of the fans, and what most people will now do, so will probably not give refund as an option.

Chappers Posted August 11, 2020 Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 To me it’s quite simple. Some people will have economic reasons for refunds, fair enough. Some are having a giddy fit and throwing SC out of pram. Fine, your choice. Most of us will support our football club, and see about 2 in 3 games at a guess. Until capacity exceeds existing number of SC holders, no more SC’s should be sold. Why should the loyal fans effectively be penalised if the club does well.

Snufflelufagus Posted August 11, 2020 Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 Why are you all so concerned about retaining your seat if you ask for a refund?

Atyeo's Love Child Posted August 11, 2020 Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 If we are not able to attend any games next season, I would happily accept a 50% refund and access to Robins TV for all 46 matches. But there is no way that I’d let them keep the £500 I paid for my ST for that coverage, I’d rather just watch the games they show on Sky and listen to the rest on RB.
