cityloyal473 Posted June 1, 2016 Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 Guaranteed money back? You heard it here first: no chance they get a rebate. In reality (although I'm sure they will) they can't invest that ST money - why would you - you may have to give 50% back at the end of the season. But let's say to try and keep their word they spend big in the summer and then don't make the play offs. Can you see Cellino stumping up 50% of what will essentially have to be his own money (he's spent the ST money remember)? Not a chance. For this to have any legitimacy that money needs to be ring fenced in bank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are legally bound to do so if those are the terms on which the season tickets are sold. Apart from that, the backlash and bad PR would be catastrophic if they didn't pay up.

You are aware of Cellino's history, right? I stand by my claim, despite being 'legally bound' - they'll not see a penny in return. And as for bad PR and backlash - Cellino doesn't give two hoots for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben4BCFC Posted June 1, 2016 Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 I imagine the money will come back to the fans in the form of a discount on next season's ST, with some cleverly worded, legal explanatory statements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, I can see this happening too. The price for the season after this will increase to cover those costs. Say they get £180 quid back then the price will rise by £200 at least for that season, promotion or not! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd give two hoots when the fans refuse to renew season tickets the following year having been lied to and effectively had money stolen from them. That would be an almost inevitable outcome to at least some extent. There would also likely be legal repercussions and he wouldn't have a leg to stand on.

It says refund. Surely refund can only be money back on something you've already purchased? If it said discount.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
