Popular Post mdogg20 Posted October 11, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 11, 2021 So I have just received a refund for my 2020/21 Season Ticket after taking the club to the Small Claims Court. I wasn't happy or proud having to do that but the club, or rather its current owner forced me to do this. I don't accept being told by the club to take my credit as a League One Season Ticket or as merchandise (however have nothing against those that did take the option). It was done on principle as I don't accept the club not adhering to consumer law even though they threw out new lucrative contracts left right and centre to players and decided to try to shaft fans out of money to fund it. The buck stops with the Chairman for mismanagement that ultimately cost the 6 points which relegated the club last season (even though the team were poor we would have stayed up on points without the deduction). I wasn't planning to go to League One games as I knew it wouldn't be a case of walking the league and I had lost the desire to watch a poor product (the Chairman chose the Managers and to chop them frequently). Should the club go straight back up (which I hope they do) I don't see myself going straight back to games as we would be no more competitive in the Championship than we were before - thus going round in circles and wasting time/money with the Chairman's vision. I will be back one day - fans last longer than owners. 19 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ll cya good riddance support the team not the regime There's just no need for it. You disagree, fair enough - no need to be spiteful. I disagree with you as I don't want to waste my time and money for the next two years trying to get back to what we were before the Chairman grossly mismanaged the situation. Minimum this year and next year paying him to get back to mid Champ... and watching players get 20k+ per week while fans are screwed over by him. The team will be gone when they stop getting paid from your money. I support Sheffield Wednesday, not the players when their contracts are over, not the Chairman. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got to the point where, more than a year after requesting my refund I felt the club were mugging me off. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdogg20 Posted October 11, 2021 Author Share Posted October 11, 2021 (edited) They applied for the claim deadline to be extended by 14 days and then paid days before the deadline. **** housery of a level not seen on the pitch.

Did you get the fee back? Interested to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have been doing that for 50 years, time to learn from repeating the old mistake and stop being sat at away games wondering why I bothered. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent three letters all unanswered, plenty of time given on each for them to respond - each one was received by the club. Didn't want to start proceeding but club fobbing me off and not communicating forced my hand. Have got fee back and club officials note on MCOL filing is that they admit the claim in full.
