I received a reply from the much revered and Stanley through and through Mr. R. Heys telling me, hard luck you're not getting a refund. I've never bought a season ticket since. The club looked after its fans in those days.

Good point. The club has never been the Holy Mothers of the Poor. I tried to trade up a flexi-ticket to full season ticket after 5/6 matches. Was told couldn't and had to buy another full price flexi-ticket and pay full walk on prices for the balance of the games not covered. I pointed out that this would end up costing me significantly more than a full price season ticket and got the distinct impression club did not care one way or the other. Felt like saying stuff it then at time.
