As kc has said nice and clear so all we have to do now is wait for the refund options to be issued which i assume will include giving you the ability to not take it. About £3.5m all in all I would estimate if everyone claims it. I don;t have a problem with the club having an option for people not to claim any refund provided its just an option. Ultimately then its up to people what they do. I do though, hope that if fans do help the club out then it is recognised moving forward and we are not rewarded with further dubious cash making schemes like the away membership.

Jim i don't know how you arrived at that sum and am not suggesting it is incorrect but remember there are a fair few thousand coffin dodgers like me plus juveniles who are on a concessionary rate not forgetting of course corporate season ticket holders which must number several hundred.

Capt. Pants 4,231 Posted May 12, 2020 Furlough scheme extended by 4 months, presumably non playing staff still included? The club may have to decide on a simplistic approach regarding the options if there is a lack of resource to process them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yorkshire Canary 118 Posted May 12, 2020 (edited) Difficult to say how much it all will cost the club i would have thought about £2m. On reflection i will take mine. The already have my £600 for next season for an adult and junior and it is becoming apparent that sadly it may be years rather than months before we can return to watching football like we used to. As for next seasons ticket money i guess we will only get it if the club is solvent. If we were league 1 or worse i would be more minded to let them keep some or most of my cash this time around but with the millions spent on wages and expenses i have no enthusiasm to do so.

Casual match tickets (2019-20) Fans who have purchased a casual match ticket for an upcoming home or away league fixture, and or the home FA Cup quarter final tie against Manchester United, will have their match ticket automatically refunded by the end of May. The refund will be automatically issued onto the payment card that was used during the purchasing process. Those who purchased tickets via any other method will be contacted by the club’s ticket office. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its back of a fag packet stuff Til I will admit (i.e. not factoring in concessions and corporates) but essentially based on each ST holder being due around £130 (£2.8m) and 27,000 tickets for Man U @ £30 = £800K. Obviously, I will have missed some bits and pieces. Kids tickets would bring the number down but corporates probably push it up. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They probably didn't sell 27,000 tickets for ManU though as they pulled the sale [well] before the end of the window for season ticket holders to claim their seats. Like many others I was pretty sure it wasn't going to happen and didn't claim my seat. It therefore never made it to even home membership sale. Still, you're right that the ManU game alone is going to be quite an amount. SB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As you asked so nicely.... Zoom board meeting 12/5/2020 Webber: So guys, we've put out the presser about how we're going to rebate the fans, but you know, we need that money. Any ideas? Kensell: We gotta be careful boss, you know the sh.tstorm caused by the away membership fiasco. Webber: Yes, we need to be a bit more delicate with this. Delia, what are your thoughts? Delia (after her 11th gin of the morning): We have the besht fooshball shuppoters in the world. Kensell: Quite. Well boss, why dont we ask the fans to donate to the academy. That's probably the least contentious way of going about it. But here's the kicker - however much they donate, we dont need to spend on the academy next year. Mwahahahahaha Webber: Brilliant, quite brilliant. Delia (after misplacing the gin bottle): We need a 12th drink, where aaarrrrrre you? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Give it chance, people will find something to moan about. Already being accused of still being a lighter form of 'begging' on another thread... They could put 10 years of season ticket cost in every fan's pocket, make us all honorary Hall of Famer's and declare free beer at every home game next season. People will still find a problem.

Hoola Han Solo 448 Posted May 13, 2020 The club treated us as customers with the ludicrous membership schemes at the start of the season, so I’ll treat the club as a normal business and claim everything I’m entitled to. Norwich City is a business after all, not a charity. PS, I’ve told everyone what I’m doing, and I don’t care if you don’t like it 😀👍🏻 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I will wait until I see the options available before I decide but unlikely I will waive my right to a refund unless players/exec reciprocate by forgoing some of their salaries. This is going to cost the club a pretty penny! I Agree. I do feel that the players wages which are very high compared with Jo Public and are draining the clubs finances. Surely it wouldn't hurt all players to take a big hit on their income to help our club out? It's only for a few more months. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
