You are entitled to an opinion, but I still disagree.

 

There were very few games left, and ifollow seemed like a decent option at the time.

 

We all knew that by taking ifollow would keep money in the club, and we all knew that our season ticket was a sunk cost.

 

This season is different - but last, absolutely I disagree with you.

 

This season - i'm really probably thinking that it's going towards next seasons season ticket.

 

 

I wanted a refund for the remainder of last season. 

I want a refund for this season. 

And the last thing it will be going on is another season ticket.  I strongly suspect I'm not alone.

I completely disagree with you

 

1. Company sells something for hundreds of pounds
2. Thousands of people buy it 
3. Company then can't provide the product
4. Company offers refund
5. 55% of customers say they want a refund

And you think that's a lot?

I totally disagree with you

I'd honestly have expected it to have been in the high 80%'s at a minimum

I wonder what Chansiri expected it to be if he's saying half of people who spent hundreds of pounds and didn't get the product then wanted their money back is more than expected?

 

80% is high, especially with the option for club shop vouchers. 
55% is about right... means 1 in 2 wednesdayites has some common sense

Over 55% of Season Ticket holders chose the pro rata refund

 

These were higher figures than anticipated

Also don't forget that this is in the midst of a pandemic and mass unemployment....80% sounds about right

 

I wonder what % would want a refund for this season if the option is there?

Very interesting as you say.

I was one of the other 45% or so that chose to watch the remaining games last season - why they thought a significant number more than that would choose to do so based upon our results and performances between January and March, which were arguably getting worse, is baffling.

Mad innit 

 

Can't be proper fans if they're not giving their hard earned money to a billiionaire football owner to give to millionaire football agents to help them sign millionaire football players and pay them millions of pounds

Anyone who asked for a refund should get kicked off Owlstalk.

Proper fans would organise a fundraiser for poor Chansiri, Westwood and co.

Think the club think 55% wanting refunds is high as they were expecting more to take the options of club shop vouchers or watching games on the internet.

I didn't mind it last season but not surprised at all by the numbers who wanted a refund. I'm also watching the home games this season but I am really not impressed that the difference in what I put towards i-follow and what is then left will automatically be chucked towards a season ticket for next season.

The club must not have watched us play between January & March!

 

I'm currently sat on £25 of ticket vouchers as part of the option I took, goodness knows when the opportunity to put that to use will be.

To be fair I knew when I took the merchandise offer that it would only go towards a replica shirt sleeve but the £25 ticket voucher I was hoping to put towards a cup game this season or something like that, not likely now is it.

Surely there would be a record export function on the old system and a bulk import on the new system? That’s just basic database functionality. 

Depends on how it was built - if it was SQL yes or Oracle older databases are somewhat more challenging

10,000 at a £120 each would be an over estimation I’d guess. It’s only £1.2mill.

 

When you think of the money this club has wasted since DC walked through the door. It’s peanuts. It’s less than peanuts, it’s peanut dust! 

 

 

They didn't expect as many fans asking for their money back.

Well he fans didn't expect us to pay a player more than what is being asked for being sat on his arse.

[4evaowl]

I'm surprised more didn't ask for their money back given the wealthy owner and massive salaries of players...in addition to the appalling run of results and performances.
