We should be paying the full whack and encouraging the forces of darkness to lift house arrest. You are just so negative.

The extremely wealthy multi-millionaire owners of the club who have treated the fans with complete contempt for years, (removing Saltires from laddies, calling fans racist, appointing incompetent arseholes, driving investors away from the club), now want us to put our hands in our pockets to help them out? ummm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roman_bairn Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Let me think about that.

Stainrod Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Season ticket to include access to an upgraded FTV, and obviously then games whenever/if they become available. There is a real threat to the game with this virus. I’m not against outing my hand in my pocket to help the club but only once the current board do the same or acknowledge their time is up ! Their call 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank von Hell Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 14 hours ago, HopeStreetWalker said: Yep ! I would put my money in to watch web coverage of a game as would a good % of the support. But how could the safety of the players , background staff , stadium employees be secured. Two groups of people coming in close contact expelling body fluids during the game its a disaster just waiting to happen. All it would take was one player to be infected and it being missed in the checks. Nice idea but not going to happen. All players , background staff and a skeleton staff of stadium employees would be tested before going into isolation for the "festival of football" - therefore vastly reducing their chances of catching the virus. Players would be tested again before the match just in case, before any physical contact during the game. Play the game then back into isolation. Not a million miles from what you'd expect during a World Cup. This is how the NRL & AFL are going to do it in Australia , and I'd expect the EPL to make it happen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 I agree with NBB actually. I wont put my hand in my pocket for donations or handouts unless it's made clear by those in charge that the plan is to keep the club alive and hand it over once it's safe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiddy Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 I wonder what will happen with season tickets?? Hopefully the club manage to come up with some sort of package that each ticket gets access to live games online home and away. Maybe offer a small refund per game that's played behind closed doors until we can get back to games. How's about a refund for THIS season?They've broken contract & still hold 4 games worth of ST money. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must be joking. You want to bankrupt the club for something they had no control over? However, looking ahead, now is the time when we the fans and small shareholders have the maximum leverage to obtain the change we want. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BtB thought they had "leverage" back thenThey're a business, just like any other &, unless you own shares, you're just a customer.They've not fulfilled their side of the contract (18 games) & have made no mention on how they intend addressing the situation.Ultimately, it might come down to a section 75 claim (Consumer Credit Act 1974). -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
