Comment | Town Announce Season Ticket Refund Options
at 19:18:21
To clarify my point above, the question regarding those who will opt for a refund of five games (not six), is who should most appropriately be lending the club money? Ticket holders on low incomes, or the comparatively wealthy club associates? I appreciate that cash-flow is tight for many businesses, which is why the government have contributed to wages, and offered business loans at very reasonable rates. I suspect that the ME empire has been financially astute enough to take advantage of these. I'm not complaining about the choices, JUST the long-term retention of a refund. Apart from looking mean, this is legally questionable under the Consumer Rights Act, because it's not being repaid in a 'reasonable' amount of time. The supplier of the services being strapped for cash, is beside the point. |

Comment | Town Announce Season Ticket Refund Options

Good that we have some options, and I'm sure many will be persuaded to avoid the full refund option. OUTRAGEOUS that the full refund option is being spread over such a timescale. Season ticket holders start paying for their season tickets 3 months before the start of a season. The final refund amount will be over 12 months from the first missed match. Not all season ticket holders are cash rich. Many are on low incomes and watching football is one of few treats. Also, the option of attending games to many who may be more at risk through age or respiratory illness, is not an option for them until they are vaccinated. They are now being asked to give credit to help the cash-flow of a club which has a multi-millionaire at its helm, and pays some employees a monthly income what others would love to have in a year. Sorry Marcus Evans, your patronage has been welcome since you arrived but this particular option appears mean. I urge you and your finance officer to reconsider the terms. |

Comment | The Way Back From Here Will Be Long, But There is a Way

Thanks Somethingblue for your timely blog, and your ‘call to action’. It’s tough for big ego’s to admit failure, but surely our wealthy and otherwise successful owner must be now questioning how his ITFC foray is anything but. Instead of ITFC boosting the ME image, has it turned out to be an embarrassment the ME empire would prefer to shed? It could have gone the other way, we could have been a Leicester perhaps, and the ME experiment would have been deemed a glorious success. It’s not too late for ME to now graciously offload the club and we would surely all applaud him for his no-doubt well-meaning efforts - and for showing great courage in doing what’s best for ITFC, which is to sell. The alternative is to carry on regardless, while fans get evermore restless, despondent, and pay fewer visits to Portman Road. Let’s begin discussing clever and novel ways of showing our dissatisfaction, with the north stand banners being a good start. |
