Most people who buy season tickets know that they might not get to every game, due to unforeseen circumstances and holidays and moveable fixtures, so it's never really a case of getting a couple of matches free. People do it because they know it helps and they may break even on the deal. No one buys a season ticket because it makes sound financial sense.

I understand that times could be hard for people and they might be desperate for the £100 and I wouldn't criticise anyone for that. If people are complaining, however, that it seems like a rip-off, I'd just point out that this is something so unprecedented that the club should be cut some slack. It's not as if Carter imported bats and caused it just to rip people off.

We still have a club. The club is offering limited refunds but is hoping no one wants them. I hope so too.

Season tickets to on sale on Saturday more of less same price as last year

Don't they????

By buying the season ticket early I wonder how many supporters will be willing to forfeit a refund for a second time should the worse come to the worse. The way things are going will we be allowed to watch for the first couple of months?

If people are going to buy a season ticket anyway, the early bird prices make some financial sense, but what I meant was that I don't think anyone truly buys a season ticket because they are guaranteed to be up on the deal, as in reality most people end up missing a game here and there. People on the whole buy them as an expression of their loyalty, or because they know it helps the club, or because they will probably just about break even when circumstances dictate that they miss the odd game.

I don't think anyone thinks, "I can guarantee that I will be at every game, come hell or high water, so it makes prudent financial sense to take the season ticket offer, and that is the only reason." There are other reasons all mixed in.

I can see where you're coming from Slugger, but I think I can honestly say that for the last 40 or so years that I've been purchasing a season ticket that it was for financial reasons, knowing that I would only miss a maximum of two games, usually for holidays.However that does not diminish my devotion to Trinity. It just seemed to make financial sense to me and I'm sure that it did to many other supporters.

I think anyone buying a season ticket for next season must be aware that there is a chance of 2021 being no better as regarding covid. You will be purchasing a membership with the "possibility" of attending some games.
Maybe season tickets bought at early bird prices should be non refundable just to help people make that decision?

Mr Carter said last night he hopes to get fans back into the ground in March could be from 1 thousand to 3 thousand depending on covid

If only a thousand are allowed in and we have 3 thousands season ticket holders how will they decide who gets to watch?

The point made by MC's biggest fan is yet again invalid. Every season ticket holder was given the chance to obtain a refund months ago. It was pretty much a certainty that no supporters would be allowed into grounds. Yet again moaning for the sake if it

Tbh, I was surprised to see anything regarding a refund as I thought this was covered right at the start of not being able to see games.
The vast majority of S/T holders opted to "donate" to the club, with just a few opting for a refund.

Ultimately, every penny that the fans give the club, either through S/T sales, merchandise, Trinity TV etc, etc, help the club to cover some of it's costs.
Anyone, taking a refund (and I accept that some will), is money that club cannot use to cover some costs.
Right now, Trinity need the cash more than "most" of the fans will or they may not survive.

Things have been a total nightmare for everyone this year and it may not improve until mid next year.

It needs as many fans as possible to stand by the club and hope for better times ahead.
Dont walk away and then complain when there is no longer a club to support.

First up best dressed.

I would guess that we are a lot nearer to 1000 than 3000. The vote via email regarding refunds showed something like 850:40 which shows 890 responded. Don't know how many didn't respond to add to these.

Sorry mate, your names not down. You ain't coming in.
