We have to sign some type of jobber whether Engish or Scottish, but a 21 year old on a 3 year deal thats proven in our league is about as good as it's going to get. All depends on how much you are willing to pay. There could have been cash in the coffers ....but that is gone now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To ask us to pay full price for a 3rd season, that may not allow the fans in to the full extent, dependent upon the Covid situation is just ripping us off once more. Not even a mention of free FFCTV if you cant get in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They lost the revenues from the lost games. i think they’re legally obliged to offer refunds but why not just forget it? Here is one for you. I know a guy who shelled out for 3 season tickets last season for him and his kids which was nearly a grand, as a goodwill gesture to the club. All he got was a curtailed season on FFCTV ....which occasionally buffered and also didn’t work properly for the last match. So...he should just forget it and do the same? The club have offered him zilch, nothing, nada as an incentive to renew. There were so many things the club could have done to enhance our experience. They haven’t even thanked us for our support last season. Bitter? Me? ....you better believe it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not seen anything about this bar on here. The SFA. It states in relation to refunds.....”where football clubs, as service providers, are not compliant with consumer law, they may risk action by the local authority or any other enforcer under consumer protection law. .........consumers can also take action themselves, through the courts if necessary. It is important that all parties are aware of how the law applies” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely. 5th in the Seaside league after being so far in front. Then Deans saying “it was an impossible task for Holt” to get more than 3pts from 5 games would be just laughable, if it wasn’t so soul destroying. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadwell Dog Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 The decent and sensible thing to do is to offer a refund. It's then up to fans whether they take that option up or not. We should be making the offer though and not sweeping it under the carpet. At least then you aren't seen as taking the piss. A lot will say I've paid it don't need the money but there may be a few that need the cash in current circumstances. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PedroMoutinho Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Any refund potentially due would only be for the 5 games that were not played. It would also depend on what the Ts and Cs of sale were- it may well be that the club simply offered access to ‘all home league games’ rather than a specific number. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which manager would have joined us in League 1 that would have caught your attention? That's not the point I was making. The Rawlins have come in taken control with a small investment some how and some people seem to think there's been a new broom and different direction this season but I just don't see it. We haven't done anything so far that we couldn't have done before they arrived. That's the point I'm making. When will we see what they are bringing to the table as so far it's just more of the same. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
