    Yes. I'd feel guilty but at the end of the day, I could overpay it into my mortgage, or put it towards food shopping or whatever. I don't really have money to throw away out of the goodness of my heart. I know I'd already spent it but I um and ah over the cost each season anyway so I'm not going to spend the money on nothing (the word 'nothing' is presuming it's a proportion back for games not played of course).

    if ST holders are refunded then those who pay match by match could claim a refund...….if they still have their ticket!

    If the season is declared void, then season ticket holders should be entitled to a refund.

    more of a worry for clubs is whether sky, and BT in premier league’s case, demand money back. Suspect clubs will find a way to finish the season if that happens!

    I think it would me the most selfish act ever to demand a refund in the midst of a global crisis

    4 home games left, so what would the average refund be £50 ?

    Most selfish act ever? Give over. Life goes on. There's no shortage of money in football. Lower league clubs might be struggling, but if larger clubs are then it's largely self-inflicted.

    £390 / 23 x 4 = £67.
    Why would I not want that back? I'm under no illusions when I pay for my season ticket. I know I might be shelling out to watch a relegation season. I can live with that. My only expectation is that I get to watch 23 games.

    The Powers That Be have been happy to turn football into a product. If you can't deliver the product, expect to pay back the money.

    However... I'm willing to be rational about it. if Dane Murphy presents a full, transparent financial case for keeping the money, if the refunds will seriously damage the sustainability of the club, then he can keep the money with my blessing. Is that fair enough?

    What about if that global crisis means people have no money as they work zero hours or are self employed and their business shuts? You never know people's circumstances.

    It is but I’m thinking in the grand scheme of things.
    I’ve just been out for a few beers and everywhere is dead.
    It’s not about me and you but the planet in general. No business is in a good position right now.
    Reputable airlines and hotel groups have stepped up to the plate but if anyone didn’t feel like they were taking the piss if they claimed against BFC, then in my opinion that’s down to pure selfishness.

    Don't make the mistake of taking a wage. As opposed to taking a Divi in shares. Unless you know different.

    If anyone loses their job over this virus or loses out on their average earnings in any way then that is completely wrong and unjust.

    I have never experinced anything like this in my 50 years and no one should suffer financially because of it as people are or could suffer in otherways and that should be enough.

    With that in mind i expect not to get a refund as this is no fault of the clubs who will miss out on pay on the day gate sales etc and so shouldnt have to issue refunds on season tickets aswell.
