What kind of football fan asks for a refund on their season ticket because the season isn't going the way they wanted? Is that why they have requested it? I have no idea Do you?

Like I say though pal, it hasn't clicked as of yet. No one was complaining last 2 seasons, he seems committed to getting it right. Support him?

Yep...nobody has died. He still shouldn't have made the offer, regardless of how frustrated he is. Seems like he's far too close to this and hasn't got thick enough skin to cope with the criticism. Perhaps a step back wouldn't be such a bad thing? It was a stupid offer made to an even more stupid request. As demonstrated by this thread it gives his critics even more ammunition to fire back at him. Bloody viscous circle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

@owlstalk Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 I'm more gutted today because I thought with the price of the cup replay game at £10, and the new manager and the new CEO and the invitation to fans to a fans meeting on Thursday, that the Chairman had finally started to get to grips with running our club successfully. I saw light where previously there had been tactical periodisation I saw hope that we could put all the tension behind us and crack on I thought there was to be goodwill at the start of the new year and whilst we're still in our 150th Anniversary Year Instead we get this 150th Anniversary Year Refund Offer GUTTED Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Striggy Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Well its a lively place on here today isn't it. Some of the arguments discussions do seem to have got confused and gone off at tangents somewhat, and there does appear to be strong vocal arguments on both sides. I am trying to summarise the main points in my head, but may need help Some fans demanded a refund on their season tickets, because presumably Carlos had not been sacked , the football was dire, and promotion was now a pipe dream Chansiri offered a refund presumably to those disenchanted people, not really for people who had found times hard and needed a cash boost, although i assume they could also take up the offer to ease their burden if they wished Chansiri added conditions, did anyone expect a £600 refund, a pat on the back, an apology and a see you next year hand shake? The disenchanted are free to accept or decline Chansiri's offer (to which there is no legal entitlement as far as I am aware), but would forfeit discounted season tickets and loyalty points for the future in return They would not be banned and could attend any time POTG I agree that the demands for a refund should not have been made, and if genuine and not a flippant protest statement, shows a lack of support. I also agree that the offer to refund should not have been made, Chansiri should have just kept his head down. But is anyone really surprised that there are these conditions attached? Thursday night will be interesting. Be glad when the game kicks off on Friday night. "nobody told me there would be days like these!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southportdc Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 1 minute ago, @owlstalk said: No That's why I'm not stating as fact either way their reasoning But people who want refunds for non-performance related issues wouldn't be offered them at any other club. So why is offering them with harsh penalties so despicable in comparison? I agree it'd be nice if everyone is dealt with on a case-by-case basis, and as I said before I think the club (and chairman) are willing to engage on that, but even if not, at least there's some sort of option there.
