Simply put, if you can afford to write it off it will greatly help the club, if you cant then there should be no issue. Each individual fan will be in a different position financially.

At that level, it guarantees that no money leaves the club (fans will likely spend more than the voucher value in the shop) resulting in a 'win-win' sitation both the fans and the club. Anyone wishing to could just take a refund then spend it in the shop if they wish. Saves the club a hell of a lot of admin keeping track of vouchers which some people may take months to spend or indeed never use....

Deano Posted June 4, 2020 Report Share Posted June 4, 2020 Have the club set a deadline to apply for a refund? Then they would know how much they have to invest in the team for next season and we could be talking about all the new signings 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee_Eck1979 Posted June 4, 2020 Report Share Posted June 4, 2020 What happens with this cash ref tax for the club. The reason I'm asking is would it be financially better for the club to issue a refund and the fans then invest that money in TIK tax free? Or is the process more hassle than it's worth? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simply put, if you can afford to write it off it will greatly help the club, if you cant then there should be no issue. Each individual fan will be in a different position financially. This is a perfect analysis. Nobody should feel less of a fan if they're in a situation where this money is needed and they request it back. For anyone who can leave it with the club, doing so will help keep us afloat and help get us into a position where the club are able to add to the squad and get back to playing football again. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Last Atari Moron Posted June 4, 2020 Report Share Posted June 4, 2020 Just turned 50 and I got a small amount of shares for my birthday. The club handled this brilliantly to be fair. Got the certificate this morning. No issues with our season ticket refunds. Right decision by the club which has been well received by other club’s supporters online. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dundonald_Killie Posted June 4, 2020 Report Share Posted June 4, 2020 Just a thought .... are sponsors, advertisers, etc. foregoing any refunds that may have been due to them as well as a result of games not going ahead ? Or is it just STH’s the club is hoping will do it ? Genuinely wondering. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think they are. Season has ended. Season ticket is for all home league games. Doesn't stipulate a number. As for the offer, it's very kind but like most I'll not be taking it up. No issues with anyone choosing to do so though. These are unprecedented times and not everyone is in the position to turn down a refund. Maybe people's financial circumstances have been turned upside down since they bought their ticket last summer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's because your club done this and you didn't get the option of a refund. Edited June 5, 2020 by LH31 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
