Yeovil refund for fans

I think this is nonsense - you pay your money, you take your chances. What happens if they win the next game 8-2? Will the fans have to refund the refund or pay a bonus as they leave the ground? Mind you, I went to Preston for the 0-6 in 2009 so if there are any retrospective rebates going I wouldn't say no.

I was thinking about this today. In most other industries if you are not satisfied you can claim a refund. But as you say you pay your money and take your chances. Sport is different from say IKEA, if you are not happy with a shoddy sideboard you can get your money back.

If you choose to pay for an away trip and the team are terrible and lose heavily then it's tough shit. You know the risk before you buy the ticket.

Whilst I totally agree with this and no Yeovil supporter should expect a refund it is a very good gesture by the club.

It's just a goodwill gesture. Nothing to get too worked up about.

Fair enough, but as the piece suggests, this has happened a few times now. So it's a nice gesture but perhaps misses the point? There's a perverse sense of 'I was there' for a result like this.
