How will it work if paying on finance?
It’s possible, though you could ask them to confirm your supporter/ST number? Or request a cheque be issued to the address on file?
Can’t imagine there will be too many that take it up. Appreciate not everyone’s circumstances are the same but shouldn’t prove too much of an admin headache for them.
Will they discount next seasons season ticket if we don't opt for refund? I read something about the Bury game 1/23rds off, but nothing concrete on reduction of anything else

To be fair it isn't going to be paid back by sisu to fans is it?If it was 100% in the MR pot I'd be more inclined to leave it but why on earth would you leave money with a hedge fund who have just had a 6m cash injection for promotion? I imagine most if us could do with it more than them. I'll be claiming it without feeling any guilt. Most saying they'd leave it probably aren't season ticket holders to start with.
I hope MMJ claims back too as it could be a few k back in the coffers to add more freebies for people next season.

Very good idea!I've always said I wouldn't claim it back but might and then just stick it in the season ticket fund. The club will still get the cash anyway and at least someone will get to watch some football out of it.
For anyone wavering the club will actually do better out of this way with F&B, programmes, parking, not to mention getting back into regularly attending again for some or future generations that might come along with them. Great shout LG.I've always said I wouldn't claim it back but might and then just stick it in the season ticket fund.

The four of us are ST holders and aren’t asking for a refund. Your tone is slightly patronising. I’m not going to ask for it back because currently I have luckily been unaffected financially by coronavirus and my football club has, and if I can help support them through that than I will, especially given the level of entertainment we had this past season, we all thought we had value for money without a refund. That’s not to say everyone has to, it’s a personal decision for everyone. The argument it’s going straight to a hedge fund is odd, it’s a revenue stream for the football club, so it’s taking money out the football club whichever way you look at it. SISU arent really relevant. Again, completely understand those requesting it, but to suggest those saying they will arent ST holders is nonsense.

At the end of the day it is added to the war chestApologies if that's how it came across, completely unintentional, so let me explain my thought process :
I'm also unaffected by Covid, but I feel I supported my club by committing to a season ticket in unknown times at St Andrews.
Value for money - Of course it was great to watch most of the time (although I saw plenty of nil nils too, some away or in cup granted) but I feel robbed of the opportunity to see us actually achieve promotion on the pitch, to celebrate with the players and fellow fans and particularly the planned promotion party in Blackpool. None of that is the club's fault, but detracts imo from perceived value and most of the staff prior to a cash boost by promotion furloughed.
It's also been clear for a few seasons now that SISU will let the football side break even and prop up finances or cream off the top accordingly. This coming season there could be further payments for Bayliss, Maddison, Wilson or McCallum (or anyone sold in Jan) in addition to increased revenue from league status, sponsorships, tv and hopefully many more through the turnstiles. Therefore (I believe) that whether you request it or not, whatever that required figure to operate is, the number won't move, so it's coming directly from their funds not the club.
The only way I'd leave it in is if we were told this seasons budget is x, but if you all leave your money then it's y and that we're directly adding to his war chest.

There will be more money in the pot if it is left
It is entirely your free will to reclaim it, but just do it without the justification
Would have been nice if the club had offered you a chance for your refund to go into the season ticket fund for those that can't afford it. Thje money stays in the club, and crowds get bigger. Its win win.
Coventry City can confirm that Match Packages from the 2019/20 season will be carried over to the 2020/21 season.
I can't get used to you with a different Avatar! Who is this imposter?How much does the refund work out at, money wise?
What’s the general consensus on here? I’m not going to bother but I know a couple of people who are intending to ask for a refund.
I can fully understand if people are struggling financially. If they had several ST's that could be a couple of hundered quid back to a family. I don't agree with people jumping in on Twitter with abuse.
Personally, I would rather the club keep the money and put it towards our promotion next season!
