Re: The Black Cats Match Thread
 

Was hoping you lads would do us a favour v Sunderland yesterday, but we were awful and got beat at Wycombe, so it wouldn't have mattered so much.

How did you play until the abandonment?

I don’t see any issue at all in charging full price for the replayed fixture.
Sometimes you pay £20 and get a boring match and a sparse crowd. Yesterday we got 70 mins of entertaining football and a great atmosphere.
The customer charter seems completely fair to me. You win some, you lose some... and this at least sets out a reasonable framework worked out in advance so the fans don’t get fleeced and neither does the club.
Of course people will still moan, but that’s life.
No doubt Andy H will chuck in a free hot dog and drink like the gent that he is, but charity has to end somewhere.

We gave Sunderland a gift of a goal which to me was the only way they were likely to score, they played well but honestly we played better.

Re: The Black Cats Match Thread
 

The EFL rules say anyone who attends an abandoned games get 50% off the rearranged fixture, no matter what half.

The Charter is about as useful as the chicanes on Charter Street.

Oh dear!

Re: The Black Cats Match Thread
 

Is that right?

All I can see is rule 28.4 which says:

Every Club must have a publicly stated policy regarding ticket refunds or other arrangements for abandoned Matches.

That seems to support what Lord Didsbury copied in post 42.

Re: The Black Cats Match Thread
 

I just had a look at the EFL web site. If it’s a play off match or the league cup it does seem like there’s a 50% compensation rule, but I can’t find anything about league matches. Not that I’m saying rules don’t exist.

The only area in which they were better than us was in whinging. How did we end up with three cards to their one

9.3. In the event of the abandonment of a Match after kick-off you will be entitled to free admission to any rearranged Match upon presentation of your Ticket.

I assume that’s for FA Cup matches Accebeme?

I presume you are correct my lord

does anyone know what the clubs stated policy is

Re: The Black Cats Match Thread
 

Read Lord Didder’s post #42

Re: The Black Cats Match Thread
 

The terms and conditions clearly state "League Ticket" several times. even though the title is not clear.

A policy to deal with refunds/discounts would not mean the rules can be re-written.

Anyway the club adhered to the rules after the Morecambe call off so I am sure it will all be reet.

Re: The Black Cats Match Thread
 

Argh!!

It's the ASFC Policy ( Customer Charter) that applies to re-arranged games.

This Charter is on our website and lodged with EFL

The 50% EFL rule is to the 5 games they arranged not the ones their clubs sort every weekend and most Tuesday's/Wednesday's
