I for one won't.

But won't be buying a season ticket for next year until some clarity about what is happening devolps.

Is it last week already?

Don't know why some think of the club as a charity instead of a business that pays grown men thousands of pounds a week to kick a ball about.

I really don't know tbh. I think part of that is personal guilt for not using mine for about 3 months before the season got canned But that's my own fault.

Wouldn't mind a few free streams for next season or something. Part of me wants to donate to the club in hard times and part of me wants every penny i can get atm to ensure I can actually pay the bills and eat if the missus gets made redundant. Especially when the money would effectively be offsetting millionaires losses.

No. I've saved more money by not travelling up to the games and spending money in the SC.

Need more information.

Actually, i'm going to say yes I want a refund, just to annoy the prat that said whoever asked for it wouldn't be welcome down BR again!

Shouldn't even need to ask, it should be offered.

With good grace.

No - although I have a feeling people who start these threads are almost hoping for lots of 'Yes's' so they feel better about asking themselves.

It will be in the coming days that's why I asked

Couldn't give a damm what people do. As everyone has their own set of circumstances.

I was just wandering what the consensus was

It has to be ‘each to his own’ with no judgements made on decisions impacted by personal circumstances.

100% agree with this.

No, because I don't have one. That written, a theatre, an airline, and another football club have all issued me with refunds without asking, so there should be no need to ask.

Still waiting for The FA to get back to me on my group booking refund for last weekend. And Saracens don't seem too willing to issue refunds for their game against Harlequins back in March ...

Also I have a festival in late August and 7 gigs from September - November which will all probably get canned.

I was going to see Jack Savoretti in concert at Kew Gardens which was cancelled, money refunded.
If i was a season ticket holder personally i would not seek a refund but can see why others understandably would.

I won’t ask for my money back for unused games on my Season Ticket. ( Legends Lounge at £30 a game )
I had bought some extra tickets for the Exeter game and have asked for my money back on those some weeks ago, but haven’t heard back from the club as yet.
I would be happy if the club made a ‘gesture’ of some sort like offering me some Free streams in lieu of the Unused season tickets As I don’t see any of us attending games for some time.

I wonder how viable football is at League 2 level without income from attendees. Tickets are one thing, but also money from hospitality, food & drink, programmes and souvenir sales. And the costs to stage games in empty stadiums. Not sure there will even be streams as no games will take place.

I got my Wimbledon tennis ticket money back today. I'm not bothered about the season ticket money. I had stopped going a while before the shutdown and had already written it off.

Yes, agreed, I don’t think Football outside the Premier League is viable without crowds. I’ve saved money by NOT going to the last four home games which is why I’ve written off any refunds really, but IF the club wanna make a gesture, then fine.
I think that Orient are possibly ahead of some other clubs as far as streaming is concerned but God knows if or when next season will start anyway.

Anyone done this?

I felt while they were asking me to renew my season ticket they could have offered the discount straight away. And I would of renewed straight away.

They can't offer a refund until it's confirmed the season is over, and it won't be confirmed until a vote by EFL clubs in favour of the necessary changes to the rules for all 3 divisions. And that can't happen until League One and the Championship make their minds up on what to do.
