Plonk Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 At the price they are they are good value. That won’t be the reason sales plummet, and they will, it’s the bloke managing( or not managing) the players that’s the promble. Don’t think I will renew mine if he’s still here 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyowl Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 I'll be amazed if there is any sort of refund. It will either be access to ifollow, probably free but wouldn't surprise me if it was just discounted and we actually had to pay more. Or money off future season ticket, or vouchers for the shop!

And yes I've already got mine. It’s interesting isn’t it. Even if they did go back on sale at the same early bird price would people buy with such uncertainty? It may well be that the stance taken this season could affect sales for 20/21 season. For instance if there aren’t any refunds and only a pass for IPlayer people aren’t likely to shell out +£500 for a season which could easily be wiped out by a second wave. Be nice to see the club set a precedent, a big push for next season but with some clear safeguarding and future proofing should 20/21 be cancelled/incomplete. As daft as it sounds the break could have done the club some good. A real opportunity to give people something to look forward to and a joined up feel good factor whenever the 20/21 season might start.

Half a weeks wages for the players Should our fans, many of whom are suffering severe financial hardship in this pandemic, many of whom who will lose their jobs as the economic realities are played out when the return to work happens, forego a refund for 5 games they will never see?? Or, should the club look to an underperforming, bloated, overpaid playing squad for that money? Or, to a Chairman who has fleeced our loyal fans for 5 years on the promise of building a squad for the Premier League - when we are worse off now than when Mandaric sold to him? I think its pretty poor form for any fan to point to another fan and suggest they should be leaving their money in the club. I may be wrong but i don't think I've seen posts from others saying fans should leave their money with the club, only posts from fans suggesting they will leave their own money with the club, Personally for me i see it as i spent this seasons money in March 2019 or whenever it was so its gone, but fully understand that everyone's circumstances are different and getting 5 games money back may help massively with finances. As for next season I renewed the early bird but as regards a refund I think we need to wait and see what the norm is going to be, at the moment we know we are missing 5 games so we can put a price on that, but we dont know what is going to happen next season until this one is done, they may delay it until we can go to grounds And regarding the price of season tickets for next season i have no issue with the club selling them at the same price as February, I think the different pricing is ridiculous anyway I see the earlybird tickets more as keeping the seat I'm sitting in rather than saving money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prem will play just enough games to ensure the scouses are mathematically champions, the season will be abandoned, and the EFL will do as they’re told. I don't think you're far off there pal.

asteener1867 Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 How would they word it tho'..If they wanted to keep your money? "Sheffield Wednesday Football Club announce the season will recommense on June 17th 2020. Although you can in no way attend the matches at Hillsborough..We are absolutely sure our fans will be with us in spirit..Therefore..We think it only fair that we are with you in spirit. To make the game seem more "real" for our wonderful football fans..We think you should actually pay in cash..rather than spirit...as we believe that this will make your "Matchday (that you can't come to)...experience"..... less err..surreal. We have also dropped the POTG prices to £5!!!!!....Some of you have oft said "Twenty is plenty"..We have gone beyond this....because you deserve it! You can pay your "special POTG" by debit or credit card at the club website....Terms and conditions apply...as below "In no way does your potg ticket allow you entry into Hillsborough on the respective matchdays you have already paid for..S.A.G have now got teargas and pepper spray..Leppings Lane will be closed..as will the ground....any fan who tries to gain entry by using the ticket he has bought to gain entry will be gassed , pepper sprayed...and possibly bitten by a police dog...." Enjoy the game...because its all about YOU! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep but it overrides the t&c's that are currently being bandied about. In writing it's a minimum required contact posted by the club.

Now that the Championship has announced it will resume playing, Wednesday know the score and are in a position to update all our season ticket holders on the situation regarding refunds, or other options that it will present to fans. Can't see any news coming this week. They'll leave it until after the new kit reveal I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
