Anyone else find it odd the club are still continuing to charge monthly direct debits despite the fact it is clear to everyone we will not be returning to Portman Road until September at the very earliest!
Now I know people will say I could have cancelled it but my laziness and optimism at the time lead to me not cancelling when I could have.
We have heard nothing from ME on his plans regarding refunding the costs, he has gone into absolute hiding! |  |

How can he say any more than he already has when things are still so uncertain?
I won't be wanting or expecting a refund by the way. |  |

What was unclear about the position relating to season tickets at the time you renewed? It was all made pretty clear, I don't see why you feel a refund should be forthcoming. |  |

They're not in a position to say anything beyond the statement from a month or so ago given the lack of clarity on what might happen with next season. Still going to be another week before a decision is made on this season so might be a bit of time yet! |  | | |

As a non-season-ticket-holder I can understand this to some degree.
The product sold is no longer on offer. I could understand no compensation for losing one match when Bury went under, just as if a fixture was postponed part way through the match, you don't get charged extra for seeing part of a game that is then played at a later date.
However, a significant chunk of the season is now likely to go unseen and I think in the long run there should be some compensation to season ticket holders. However, what form that takes and when to do it is the trickier thing. |  |

ME outlined all of this at the time renewals were taking place. It's likely that ST holders will be able to stream any behind closed doors games and when they can then attend again they will be a given a free ticket to compensate for each of the games that they couldn't attend live. I seem to recall free cup tickets being mentioned and some discounts on purchases as well. If people weren't happy with that offer, an offer that was made on the basis that it was unlikely fans would be able to attend initially, then they shouldn't have renewed. | |

Presumably the payments being taken now are for the season ahead? So, assuming next season does happen in some form or other, albeit perhaps delayed, the ST you're paying for will be used then.
If next season does not happen at all, then I doubt football as we know it will still exist (neither will many of the clubs). |  |

I can understand people wondering about possible refunds on any unplayed games for 2019/20 but there was ample opportunity for people NOT to renew for 2020/21 so now complaining about being charged if you did not cancel seems a bit strange.
I pay upfront anyway and have paid for 2020/21 and I am not interested in any possible refunds on that or the remainder of 201920-my few pounds can be added to all the money that Marcus Evans is apparently making out of ITFC. |  | | |

I think the pickle is they won’t play behind closed doors will they? If they would they’d do that for this season. As I said in a previous post I had to make a big decision as to wether to renew (which I have) as I don’t think we will set foot in the stadium for a long time, Maybe not till 21/22 season.
Yes Evans stated a few ways to compensate us ticket holders but for me it did annoy me as id much prefer they credit us for the following season as i believe that would be the easiest and fairest way tbh.
As I said earlier I don’t see how they can’t play behind closed doors now, but would be willing in September. And for me if they don’t play now they won’t ever so we might not see Ipswich play again for a long time. | | | |

ME can be criticised for many things but this isn't one of them. He gave a clear statement and has treated the fans very fairly. |  |

If you go on a basic business premise that ticket money goes primarily on player's wages, if a refund is given or demanded my season ticket holders, does the club then deduct players salaries to make ends meet? Does that mean clubs (plural) would be in breach of contracts as they might then struggle to pay wages?
Don't get me wrong, football has been run horribly and unsustainably for too long, and something like Covid-19 must serve as a wake up call for football clubs from a business point of view. If someone like Sky pulled the plug, or Covid-19 happened again, clubs have been living well beyond their means. |  |

There is so much concern about football clubs being threatened with extinction and asking for refunds seems a bit like ignoring the threat. I fully understand all the reasons for not renewing but we have lost the 19/20 season as a result of world shaking events. Let’s just accept it for what it is. |  | | |
