    If the season was declared null.and void and we were still in the championship then I think I'd be less bothered than if we got relegated! Tbh, that money has already gone from my bank account so I wouldn't necessarily feel I'd lost out. That's my feeling right now but it could well change.

    Too bloody right I would.
    Otherwise the "owners" have got away with yet another one.

    Nope. Wouldn’t want a refund. It doesn’t do the club any good either - as that money will have been spent.

    If we end up being still in the Championship next season because of this, then that’ll do for me.......

    Yes, irrespective of whether or not we are relegated I'd want a refund. Been a sh*t season on and off the field and we've watched some absolute dross.
    On top of that I have a young family and would now rather spend money on them than lining Conman's pockets.

    Nope.

    I love the club, and they're welcome to my money.

    I shop at Tesco out of convenience - it doesn't interest me whether they thrive or die because I can always go somewhere else.

    But I can't change football clubs. I want them to do well, and I want to contribute financially where I am able. Keep it, and let's hopefully go again in August.

    More fool the owners for spending money that's come in from games that haven't been played yet.

    4 home games at around approx 15 quid a game that's sixty pounds so around 20% the cost of a season pass for next season. Luckily from the Dane Murphy statement he won't expect us to pay for a product we haven't recieved.

    Not unreasonable to have accounted for season ticket money already received. Completely unprecedented having to refund part of the season.

    That's my thinking too. It isn't taking money from the club it's not giving money to our self proclaimed billionaire owners and getting nothing in return. If I give them money and don't even get a match for it then I've just gifted Paul Conway his obscene wages

    Did they spend it on football costs or giving obscene pay to our owners?

    At most a pro rata discount for next season on the games that haven't taken place. Something like a fiver a game for the ones that are left would be a nice gesture but if they didn't I wouldn't care. We have played the majority of our home games. If they become meaningless is not that much different from if we go down.

    Its a tricky one I cant expect any refunds for matches that already took place even if they are later declared null and void. The 4 remaining games I have paid for so by rights I should get a refund of approx 20% of my ticket so around £80 for me. But in reality I am not too fussed I probably could only have got to 2 of the remaining games anyway as Millwall on Tuesday is a non starter for me and I was planning on skiing at Easter so would have missed the Wigan game. Skiing isnt happening now though - fortunately I never booked it. Also it costs me at least £80 to drive up and back for a game so if its cancelled I am not really out of pocket- though I also visit my parents every time I come for a match. Might either be forced to cut those down or decide to voluntarily anyway in the coming weeks. I'll have the refund on my QPR ticket if the game never happens though

    No....it's just one of those things...life and health are worth more than worrying about getting back a few quid you've already spent.

    Fans don't get refunded for games on their season pass they cannot make due to other commitments, so would rightly be allowed a refund on games they can not attend through no fault of their own.

    You might want to check out how much other CEO or directors get at other clubs for obscene.
    WBA just over a million as an example

    Most don't perform as absolutely pathetically as our owners have. Nor do they claim not to take money out of the club

    No. I'll make a huge saving next season, but I've already willingly paid for this one.
