    They are doing it to protect ticket revenue (on the off chance) we get promoted to the PL.

    Where did you study maths. It's 7 games a season.

    Would be helpful of them to release the stats imo

    Probably the same place you studied English <ok>
    You are right though, I stupidly counted all games instead of just home games. It still isn't what you were saying though

    Yes it is. If you do not attend 70% of home games (miss 7) you are at risk of having your season ticket revoked/cancelled. It's literally in your quote.

    I know you are hard of thinking but take this opportunity to read it again

    Read it loads. The only information we can go off is the 70%, loyalty point and ticket revoked.

    Are you saying this is not the case. Seems the the vast majority on here and social media have also made a mistake reading the words.....

    I wasn’t renewing anyway but the 70% attendance rule has well and truly forced my hand.

    Having had the pleasure to speak to Bruce and found him a genuine bloke and fan, I will be very disappointed if he is the instigator of this.

    This feels like a T&C they've put in place to give them the ability to stop people taking the piss, rather than punish people who genuinely can't get to games. Would be shocked if it doesn't get treated on a case by case basis, so to use @Prehab26's example he'd have the opportunity to explain the problem before anything gets revoked, at which point they'd drop it.

    It makes zero sense for them to want to rescind season tickets to genuine fans during a time we don't come close to selling out.

    I have spoke to him a bit too and know the other part of his family. Nice bloke. But this is not good.

    How can they ensure fairness and equality in applying the terms then? They wouldn't be able too. It's a really poor decision and totally not necessary to have in.

    Think its just a T&C which is there to allow them to revoke when its necessary, rather than a new "rule".

    Much in the same way all hotel stays have a T&C saying they reserve the right to evict mid-stay. It's there if its needed, not as the norm

    It doesn't. But that's what their own words have said. Unless you're implying it's an empty threat, which is also, equally pathetic and damaging PR

    By investigating each case when they come up rather than blanketly applying it.

    I have posted what the T&C's say, if you can't understand the wording then so be it

    All terms and conditions are empty threats then.

    Next time you go to a pub are you gonna shout at the barman "are you threatening to kick me out?" just because it says on the wall they reserve the right not to serve customers?

    The reaction to this reminds me of the hysterical reaction to the BCB 'debacle' ...

    ... when people said they wouldn't be renewing their SCs <laugh>

    I wonder if anyone falls into both categories.

    There is no way they have the resource or will to do that mate. See how silly it sounds already ?

    Investigate things because someone missed a few night games. .

    They should be begging fans and kids too go. Not used threats and terms like this that at best , is open to negative interpretation.

    Prices subject to change on divisional basis! They should be announcing what they’ll change to as well mind.
