Luke Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Rovers would like to reassure supporters that the effects of the Coronavirus on our community are of the upmost concern to everyone at the club and we appreciate that fans and their families will have been presented with financial challenges as a result. We also appreciate your understanding of the financial issues the club have and are currently facing, as a result of being unable to host supporters inside Ewood Park. Refunding supporters would come at a significant financial cost to the club, at a time when our revenues have reduced to zero, and would have a serious detrimental effect on the club’s operations going forward. We therefore believe the best value solution for both supporters and the club is providing season ticket holders with free access to all of the remaining live streamed games. In order to safeguard the future of the club, we would ask supporters to stand with us and not request cash refunds, which will ensure the club remains on the strongest financial footing possible in order to work towards our collective goals as #OneRoversTogether. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Better worded than Sunderland’s statement but nevertheless, doesn’t surprise me in the slightest to be honest Some clubs just won’t have the cash to refund people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post room0035 Posted June 11, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 11, 2020 What is going to make a lot of this hard to swollow for fans all over the championship, is they have fork out big sums of money to support their club and in difficult times everyone is being asked to chip in and pull together. EXCEPT The players who continue to be paid their full excessive salaries. 26 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agentwalker Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Also you've got to factor in that there's a lot thats families living in the same house. They only need one ticket to access the live streams so will request a refund on the others. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
room0035 Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 I heard today that if the Owls don't offer fans a full refund, before the Forest game they are going to boycott the first game back and not turn up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gypsyowl Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Chansiri is very rich, he'll keep pumping money in to keep us going I'm sure of it. That's one thing you can't take away from him, I'm not worried about our financial future being affected by Covid like others are. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northeastowl Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Is it legal not to give a refund? Disgraceful way to treat fans when players are earning what they do and that is paid for by the fans. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bladeshater Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 We are people debating on the goings on at Blackburn I have no concerns at all 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latemodelchild Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 What does my head in is we had almin abdi earning more in a week than many do a year, certainly more in a month than most in a year. My season tickets paid him less than a days wages. When chansiri belittled our contribution via tickets I assumed he was telling the truth. It amounts to hardly anything, yet some clubs are saying its the be all and end all. Which is it going to be with us I wonder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musn't Grumble Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Are Blackburn Rovers and each of the other clubs a business or a charity? I'm already confused trying to work out the difference between a fan and a customer. Basically, (1) I pay to watch and (2) the club puts on a show (more or less). If either of those two actions don't happen, then we have a problem. (PS There are four of us in the household with S/Ts and we've already paid for next season, whenever that will start).

Hamakua Pueo Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Surely this is a major P & S violation. 12 point deduction, embargo and large fine in order here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
