It's up to each individual, if everybody wants their money back then it'll make life even more difficult for clubs.
I personally wouldn't want a refund, it's easy to say as I'm not going to either game, but if the season ended today, I wouldn't demand a refund on my season pass.

I definitely wouldn't either in terms of season pass. Matchday tickets for away games might be viewed differently.

Token mention of coming week's scheduled games at the end of Cas v Saints but underlying tone that unlikely to go ahead.

It is a worrying time for many sports and businesses not just RL. The problem being there differing news in the media about what is happening, what to do etc.

Hopefully as a club Adam careful management will see us safely through. I feel we are in a much better position than some clubs and the high membership number will of course help in the short term. As for long term who knows as difficult to predict or say for certainty how long this may go in for.

I do hope so. I am concerned that we had spent very big this year for probably a zero return. Other clubs like Huddersfield are arguably better insulated than us despite much lower crowds as the have Davy to make up any income shortfall. A very big day tomorrow.

A big meeting tomorrow it seems. Clubs with multimillionaire backers like Moran are obviously better shielded than those like us who rely on fans and sponsors. It must be a concern when we have already said we are spending big this year yet any potential upsides like a cup run, on the day gate receipts and merchandise could be significantly compromised.

.... makes you wonder (well me, anyway) whether Mr Allam will demand his match day rental, game or no game.

(He could easily claim that city were keeping up payments for their postponed matches.)

Thanks for that. Good business model that you have I guess, ground ownership, decent attendances and 2 millionaires to smooth over any unexpected income gaps.

I think we can say goodbye to rugby league for many weeks.
