Very credible for the club to refund those s/t holders. Clearly they can find the funds to do so. Not all clubs are in such a position and most fans would understand why. Hats off to the over 750 loyal Gas fans who have already got ours. I can think of one club not so far from us that like Man Utd ought to be in that same position however that's there prerogative. So the question is should our club be looking to reward those S/T holder fans with some sort of recompense for the missed games? ie. reduce next seasons ticket or some way to show appreciation. Complimentary vouchers etc.

Yeah, I feel like the club should offer the money back, individually, coz they probably don't have a right to it. But if they send it back to everyone willy-nilly, they'll just be throwing money away.

Maybe something not involving refunds such as vouchers for the club shop, value depending on how much was paid for the season ticket. That way, the club would not lose so much money as if they did straight refunds. Personally, I'm not too bothered either way, more bothered about when/how my renewed season ticket will apply - that gets very tricky for the club if games for half the season are behind closed doors.

I think they should give the money to charity or the NHS preferably NHS 🌈

I’d prefer the club keeps the cash. It’ll need it to survive. Now more than ever

I hope the club don’t offer one, and if they do we turn around as supporters and say thanks but no thanks.
I’ll even be buying one for the new season. Appreciate not everyone can commit to that kind of thing, but whilst I’m a 25 year old man who still lives at home with his mummy and still makes his dinner for him every night, I got nothing else better to spend my money on 😌.

I mean we got most of what we paid for anyway apart from 4 games at the end, it's not like the season got cancelled 1 game in and we've all paid £400 to see us struggle to a draw against Rochdale.
The club need that money more than I, to them it's important to stay afloat but to me it's only £30-40. Appreciate that others won't be in the same boat though, Covid-19 will bring about hard times for a lot of people financially.

I'm the opposite of that. I wouldn't want a refund but I wouldn't want the club taking my money without saying anything either. At the end of the day our board treat us as customers and as a consequence of that I expect the same back. Vulnerable people shouldn't have to go begging for their money back when debt is snowballing around them, that would be shaming them at one of lifes lowest points. Be there for the community Rovers, be that community asset.

The difference with Wimbledon is that they are a fan owned club and so you are effectively refunding yourself out of your own collective funds as fans. Rovers on the other hand are run as an out and out business. The club should offer refunds for the games that were purchased, whether in season tickets or individual tickets; fans can of course feel free to do as they wish and if the club find a way of facilitating this great. I believe Everton are refunding their season ticket holders and giving them the opportunity to donate the funds to the club's community department.

I won’t be asking for mine back - I wasn’t going to renew for next season either - totally disenchanted with the Club as a whole frankly.

I’d rather we kept the money as a club. It’s important to remember that the NHS should be funded properly by the government and not have to rely on charity donations.

Want the club to survive so they are welcome to keep money for this season... Even harder times ahead I'm afraid with covid at large and here to stay...hard to see the club ever progressing...unless Wael can get a billionaire friend to invest. There are just other things I would rather so with my Saturdays than stand up getting soaked through all winter, watching a team struggle to beat likes of Accrington Stanley, Fleetwood and other small town clubs.
