Maybe that should be an option they make for the fans to click, to donate all or some of the money they are due to be refunded to the NHS. 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. The government has piled millions and millions into the NHS these past few months, if football fans can/are financially able to also help then they could be given that choice potentially with the click of a button, however it shouldn't be donated without the fans authorisation as they may be in a completely different financial situation themselves now. Football comes second to people's lives in my book so would just be nice to see it as an option. |

Different subject entirely though. |

I wont be asking for mine back either. Out of interest would the Bury game be included as that was just as much no blame on Rovers as Covid19

The 4 remaining matches would cost about £50 on a pro rata basis for season ticket holders, of which I am one.
I will be asking for my £50 to be refunded. Or at least £50 discount on my next season ticket.

It's only Oxford that have done that. No other team in the league including us have done anything from what I've seen. |

Rovers kept the renewal price the same (instead of putting it up) in lieu of the Bury game Of course Covid struck and the price has been froze at that for everyone |

I just cant understand how fans actually have a case to request a refund for games affected by COVID19, but not the Bury game?
Both situations out of our control although the club did vote not to play the season out...

I won’t be asking for a refund on my ST and I’ll still renew it for the following season.
Quite frankly, CV19 has created so many terrible situations for many people that quite frankly, chasing for a 4 game refund is not on the list of importance and I would rather the club keep the money.

If so, we would have had a hard job to vote already. |

The Evening post were stating that Daniel that we wanted to end the season for the fans, and to give Ben more time to assess his options for next season, too many teams will vote to end it now. |

The Evening Post isn't the most reliable source of information these days. I'm not one for club updates on everything usually but I feel in these bizarre footballing times that we could do with one here. What is the clubs position on trying to move things forward? It feels like we are stood at the back of the group with our hands in our pockets waiting for everyone else to sort things out. They've give us no word at all on this season but they expect us to go ahead and buy tickets for next season first. |

How about the club give free access to season ticket holders for the remaining games home and/or away on follow, if the games are played?
Personally the money I paid for my season ticket has been spent and accounted for, so do not need it, though completely appreciate not everyone is able to do this.

Anyone know if the tents are still up? Do we still rent them?
I suppose it will indicate how things are progressing if they go.

Agreed we have one week left to reserve our seats, but there is no prospect of seeing the new season anytime soon, did the share scheme for many years so my time of just handing over money for nothing has stopped, |

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. Manchester United are a class club. As for 'Rovers it is interesting that on the forums it has been stated that our club needs the money they have received in respect of matches yet to be played, and also that the club will be voting to play the remaining matches behind closed doors at a cost of approx half a £million. Surely both positions cannot be true? Whilst there are 'Rovers ST holders who will be happy to lose the money they have paid, there will be many who will miss or even need that money, which concludes me to believe that it would make sense to offer refunds to fans who would like a refund rather than spend a vast sum on pointless (sorry about the pun) matches, or if we are really that well off why not do both? |
