vulva Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 4 minutes ago, Morepork said: That's fair comment and I may have said the same in that position. Do we know if the club asked the players to take a cut? Obviously, it's contracted to pay the players, I suspect the T's & C's of a season ticket sale are most likely are very much in the clubs favour and the refunds are effectively a gesture of goodwill by the club....? We had players that we paid a fortune for 4 years that couldn’t give us 3 more games. Had the club not offered refunds then many people wouldn’t buy one in the future. They had to refund. Difficult situation, but it’s about time football got in the real world. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with that about the players, it's the epitome of selfish although the well used argument around what happens should they pick up an injury was always bandied around. Let's be honest, its a selfish profession in the modern era. I guess I was just acknowledging that the club and the players are separate entities, players still expecting full pay wasn't necessarily a club decision. Agree though, really the clubs hands are tied, no refunds only comes back to bite you on next seasons tickets. That said, we may not be selling any at the rate we're going with Covid.

I would have done the same if the performances were better since New Year and some kind of sign that things would get better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logistical nightmare tbf. I have had refunds back from Test Match tickets I had for Edgbaston. Game was called off, within a week they contacted me by email to ask how I wanted a refund repaid and 10 days later it was in my account. They probably had over 50,000 people to contact. Its just another instance of the club being shoddily run. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a full refund on the T20 England-Australia game, including the booking fee, without any fuss whatsoever. In addition, to regular updates, Yorkshire CCC members were asked to forego their 2020 membership and if they did, the members got a package which included future free ticket upgrades, complimentaries, recognition in the Yearbook / Annual Report / Long Room and a day watching the squad training. This is why, so far, the vast majority of members have not asked for a refund and are happy for the club to keep this year's fee. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logistical nightmare tbf. They could easily just refund the money and send an email saying its been paid back onto your card. It's not a difficult process. The club are taking the p155. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tiny few who paid by cash or cheque can be sent a cheque. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
