Hope that link works - like people say a different approach to last year

Thanks, it does. I'm not a solicitor but I have studied contract law (the ticket is basically a contract between the club and the buyer). I can't understand how they can exchange a service for money, not provide that service, then refuse to offer any remedy for that. Maybe they'll offer a discount off the following year or free extra tickets for later games or something. Or they could just be saying it as a gentleman's agreement that people won't ask for refunds, rather than a legally enforceable position. You can't just opt out of the Consumer Rights Act because it's not in your interests to offer refunds, otherwise it would happen a lot more.

Those FAQs seem to cover last season

ive just spoke to some Leigh fans and they say pretty much this as they had the buy in from fans

Maybe we look at the possibility of selling either a half season ticket or maybe even an 18 month season ticket which will act in a similar way to the auto renewal system? In terms of getting some early money in.

Ultimately it’s going to rely on 2 things;

1/ The Gvt ‘road map’ to recovery which is due to be announced in the coming weeks

2/ COVID numbers v vaccination levels

Only when the vaccination level is above the COVID levels, by some way, will we see fans back at stadiums IMO. I don’t think it’s wise for any clubs to be releasing ST details when there’s still a huge chance fans won’t be in stadiums this season, after all there’s still a big question mark hanging over the RLWC and I’d imagine that decision will be made imminently too.

Wigan are being wise by not announcing anything to do with ST yet. It’s pointless.

i think the clubs who have already released ST details and sold them, may need the cash more than others. I agree with Wigans approach as it may save a lot of un-necessary admin if they need to issue refunds or go through the same process as last season, plus the ticket office isnt open cos of the debarcle with the Latics / stadium etc

For the clubs who have already sold ticket, if they are banking on fans paying, with the possibility of not receiving anything, then they may be onto a short term winner in cash flow senses. However, the chances are that the fans will want something back in return, whether that be investment in players on the pitch, free replica shirt or whatever it may be.

i personally didnt renew my ST last year as i had an event planned which was going to take up all my spare time, so was unlikely to attend any games. The event i was doing last year was deferred to this year, but i will be happy to buy a ST this year, despite being unlikely to attend either for Covid or personal purposes. i dont want to see the club go bust (as with many on here) so would prefer to spend the money on a ST, if it means that there is a club in future
