Lots of money spent on tickets, travel, hotels etc
I suppose you're just paying to watch games of football so I think no
But then you're paying to watch for a specific purpose......??
I guess even if they could they prob wouldn't want to hurt the club of course, but just wondered legally where it would sit

Tickets and any travel booked through the club are fully refundable.
Given the huge question mark over Southampton actually being at Wembley even before the 2nd leg, anyone booking something non refundable is a fully blown idiot. |  |

Which means they received the service they paid for. They got to watch the entertainment of a football match which is what they paid for. The fact the outcome is invalid doesn't change that. |  |

The fact the outcome is invalid totally relevant
The service you paid for was to watch your side in a semi final for a chance to get to Wembley.
The service you received was watching a dead rubber.

Frimmers.
Apologies, didn’t see ‘semi final’ in the title. Assumed you meant the final.
Also, No. | |

Nope. You didn't.
If you look at any football match ticket, season ticket, etc, the service you are paying for isn't the same as the prize at stake for the team on the pitch. You pay the same win, lose, or draw, whether the manager puts out a first choice eleven motivated to win or whether it is a weakened side happy to get on holiday as soon as possible.
Of course, the fans who bought tickets expected that a win would give them the opportunity to go to Wembley. But that wasn't what their tickets were paying for. | |

Nope not in agreeance with this.
A pre-season friendly with nothing riding on it is priced accordingly. This was a Semi Final to a playoff, also priced accordingly.
At the time of buying the ticket you were buying a ticket for a match with stuff riding on it. Had you have known there was nothing riding on it at all would you have made the same financial sacrifices. | | | |

Your last sentence answers the question you pose. Why would Saints fans further kick the club when it’s down | | | |

OK. To change it around slightly, the match they watched had that riding on it and so they got what they paid for anyway. The fact they have been sanctioned afterwards is no different than if they had lost the match, or fielded an ineligible player and been thrown out for that.
Whatever way you look at it, they received the service that they paid for. The sanction simply means that the outcome didn't lead to what they expected or hoped.
When you buy a season ticket, your hope is that your club will have a successful season. Just because the club doesn't achieve the outcome you hoped for, it doesn't mean you can claim a refund on the ticket. | |

The players will have more of a case unless it can be shown they knew exactly what was going on. S’ton are bang to rights. Eckert and the leadership come out of the investigation really badly (see Phil’s report on the EFL’s release of the written reasons for the ruling).
Personally I think they’ve got off very lightly and the senior individuals who were putting pressure on the interns should face a lengthy ban from football. Is it much different from drug cheating? People get multi-year or even life bans for that in sport.
Also, what was the other incident the EFL were already investigating before this one blew up?
“The six-point deduction was mitigated to four points to reflect the available mitigation, including the respondent’s acceptance of the charges, co-operation (although it is not accepted that this was unqualified) and their proffering of information in relation to the OU incident and IT incident (although we accept that they were on notice from the initial letter of 8 May that the EFL were investigating another incident and so these admissions were not entirely unprompted). |  |
