Yes it was plainly stated on website if nothing chosen by certain date it will go to academy.... not sure how legally binding that is as club unable to honour contract... could try asking again pleading his case be interesting to see if club back down

If legally the club are obliged to refund the money in the first place - its not certain they are, but its probable, under the rules of "frustration of contract" - then they can't impose this sort of condition on their website and you are entitled to a refund.

I'm sure you could argue didn't see or read it... normally conditions are at time of sale not after you've paid for it in good faith and dont get what paid for.. but upto individuals to test the club on this

To be fair to the club, I had already chosen 'Option 2' but then had a very welcome phone call (from Laura) to let me know I had until close of play that day to request the refund on booked hospitality or it would go into the Academy![]()
I chose the refund/voucher on both occasions not because I don't support the Academy (I see it as vital to the club going forward) but because the club itself should make that investment in their own future interests and not cajole supporters into making a contribution is such a way
The club are relatively solvent these days, unlike a lot of their Covid-19 affected supporters, and it was (IMHO) a cheap shot to try and keep money from unattended season ticket games
That's not withstanding that the players themselves have only taken a 'deferral' and not a physical 'pay cut' in real terms over the period of their contracts; something that appears to have stayed 'low key'
