Re: Next season??
 

as a one off situation i was surprised anyone took up the offer. however if a similar situation came about next season i imagine more would want a refund. if the club stated there would be no refunds on season tickets for any reasons then it will stop some taking them up. this is on top of people having no guarentee of even getting their present seat sitting in the same vacinity as other fans who they have sat with for years.

Re: Next season??
 

I agree with you on this monkey hanger I think most people were happy with a one off with not accepting a refund, we were all in uncharted territory and with no forceable income we were happy to help in a small way. This is now totally different and I think the club might be wise to come up with some various options on season ticket purchase,s, around how many games, I follow subscription etc:- , everyone has been affected in different ways with this awful pandemic and lockdown people,s finances in some families I can imagine are awful.

From midnight tonight Hyndburn back on partial lockdown no meeting of two household,s indoors this to be reviewed weekly, not good shows it hasn't gone away could put a spanner in the works with football planning if people don't follow the rules.

Re: Next season??
 

all the knobheads will not follow the rules, its that simple to me.

Re: Next season??
 

That's why a lot of football fans will be wary of going back because knobheads as you put it aren't immune from fans that follow any club.

Re: Next season??
 

I see the pilot schemes that were lined up for testing crowds at sports events have been cancelled for the time being due to tightening of lockdown easing, needs to improve quickly or October not looking good for return of reduced crowds at football.

Re: Next season??
 

Blackburn rovers announced they won't put season ticket,s on sale until they have a guaranteed return date for fans possibility Stanley will do the same as I think it is a more sensible process than just putting them randomly on sale as some clubs have. With the government now saying that at the moment we could be at the point were we have to limit what opens next crowds back hopefully not might not be allowed back this year.

Re: Next season??
 

I think we won'y have a guaranteed return date in advance, like all the events cancelled this weekend, even weddings on Friday where people have travelled and are already there, and being told it is off 12 hours before.

If we get a week's notice I wonder of the MD will be too busy to allow season tickets to be sold that week?

Hopefully there will be some online sale method as most already have our cards.

Re: Next season??
 

as long as its not too complicated i could live with that. not all of us are techy wizz kids by a long way. anything that needs downloaded or put on a device i do not posses like a smart phone would be a big no go for me.

Re: Next season??
 

I know the government at the moment is dealing with an ever changing scenario but as far as crowds go at football or other sports they should be making a clear decision October is only an if no good to any club trying to plan, it should IMHO be yes a good for go in October or if they are so unsure about local spikes or more serious outbreaks then delay until the New Year at least you then have a clue.

Andy,

It's just August !

Things change on the spin of a coin.

If the government knew what the situation will be in October .................

Boris Johnson is the Prime Minister not Marty McFly.

Re: Next season??
 

Didn't say he was just saying clubs need a bit of clarity some selling season tickets and some pausing as Sunderland have and others waiting as Stanley are. Nobody usually likes paying upfront for anything if it's not guaranteed could lead to messy refund claims and the like, maybe the government will decide what they want but already saying schools have to open in September and if that is at the cost of other things being reined back they will. All I was saying it would be better prepared than having these last minute warnings as happened on Thursday evening.

Re: Next season??
 

People moan when changes happen further in the future. (eg. Face masks)

People also moan when changes happen with no notice. (eg. Local lockdown)

Can’t win.

Re: Next season??
 

Not moaning but bet football fans will if they have paid upfront and receive a percentage.

Re: Next season??
 

then clubs I’m sure will refund.
let’s be fair, I can’t see it being a ‘surprise’ to anyone who misses a game or a few.

Lads back training tomorrow. Not all doom and gloom.
