They have played less that the two teams that they would leap frog by winning the game. Whether or not they would win the game in hand, they still need to play it. Completely unfair otherwise.

Subscriber Pyfish+ Posted May 18, 2020 Subscriber Share Posted May 18, 2020 This guy is getting a complete battering on Facebook. Asking for a refund on his season ticket. Everyone else has said the club can keep the money and they would even be willing to donate so that there is actually a football club to go back to when all of this is over.

Maybe he needs the money at this time. If he needs the money, fair enough. From the way he has replied to some of the other comments, he believes he deserves a refund for the 5 matches that won't be played. I can see both sides of it but he should take it up with the club privately and not publicly moan about it otherwise he is going to get the negative comments back at him.

So is it equally greedy for companies to be purchasing tests for their own staff to use when they have symptoms? If that’s the case then let’s shut everything down. As long as the tests aren’t being taken away from NHS staff and people living and working in care homes then I have no issue with it. A footballer has as much right to a test as a B&Q worker. That’s for the government to sort out when it comes to the right people getting prioritised for testing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their main services are books and stationary. Are these anymore vital than Football? A book is for entertainment, as are arts and craft supplies. I don’t really wanna get into this sort of debate, as my only point coming into post was on Villa’s situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Football will be the last thing you care about if you’re financially on your arse. Great if you can afford it like, but I’d rather feed my family and keep the roof over my head than fund a football club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree but it's the way in which he's demanding his money back like he's been wronged by the club. He's asking for (or rather demanding) £330 which is nowhere near the value of the 5 matches remaining for 3 season tickets. I understand that people have different circumstances and this is a new experience for everyone. The club are trying to work out the best route ahead to stay afloat. They've already said they will contact season ticket holders about reductions for next season (whenever it starts). The last thing the club wants to be doing is shelling out money to people who are being petty about the 5 games that are left. If they did that for every ST holder, they'd be £200k further in debt on top of the lost revenue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think fans should be entitled to the match value back, and that’s about it. Is he asking for the full season ticket to be refunded? If so, then he’s a bellend.

That’s the thing though, the FA/Premier League will be buying tests that, lets be honest, should be going elsewhere long before the entertainment business even thinks about getting back on its feet. You’ve got thousands of people returning to work now and using public transport not through choice, more necessity and these people are, likely, not tested. I’d put them well above the entertainment business and football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding is that the test machines Premier League clubs will be using are different to that of the NHS and the cost of them means that there's no demand for them on the NHS.
