    It wouldn’t have to be another full year, they’re only owed 9 game weeks from 38. So the shortfall could be made up by offering additional games over the next seasons, a reduction on the final year, maybe an extension to the contract at the same rates without a new tender, or a combination of.

    Honestly though, in all conversations I've seen this far (admittedly I haven't seen every single one so could have missed this of course) or heard on the likes of TalkSport, the idea of clubs having to refund those who have already paid for tickets hasn't even been mentioned.

    Like it doesn't matter, it's about whether they can get it on TV.

    What has been mentioned is the games are streamed 'free' to those with tickets but that's not the same. I can tell you now my sons wouldn't be remotely interested.

    Soz to all you streamers and that, bit of a bombshells that, eh? It's not the same.

    Imagine being an Arsenal or Spurs fan and being told that you can have a stream for your 70 notes.

    Isn't that just deferring the lost revenue from the end of this season to the end of next? They're still not paying for cancelled games.

    If it’s a case of have a stream or your ticket money back, I’ll take the money and ask the club to donate it to Everton in the Community.

    Your earlier post reminded me I was already paying for next season’s seats btw <doh>

    But they're not going to pay again for the games next season you're now offering in compensation.

    If you’d read what I posted correctly you’d have seen I said they could be offered additional games. So games in addition to the ones they’ve got a contract for. We’re only talking about circa 18 games for Sky, and 9 for BT.
