    About 5% wanting their money back.

    I would think the club will be delighted at that.

    I bet more than 5% claim back. Some will shout from the rooftops about their intention not to claim money back, then do it anyway. Probably some on here.

    Not really? It wasn't a season ticket survey to season ticket fans only. So the survey isn't a true reflection.

    None of our group of 6 (5 with STs for nearly 200 years in total even when some weren't even living in the country at the time) responded to the survey. We hadno intention of asking for a refund initially. But we are now seriously pissed off with the club in the way this has been handled. So much so that we are probably now asking for a refund. The amount is peanuts and unimportant - about what we spend on a meal when meeting up before the game. It's the message we want to send that our trust in the way the club is being run is waning and the lack of communication from the two main players is of concern to us.

    It wasn’t dig at anyone claiming Dennis. It was more of a dig at the club gauging opinion on a pointless survey. I hope they left a big margin for error.

    I never assumed you were having a dig at anybody. What anybody does is a matter for them. But as you say there was no need for a survey. The club should just have done the right thing and informed fans who wanted to calim a refund how they could do it easily. It says something about the club when they felt the need for a survey of all supporters when what they should be doing is self-evident.

    There was more than one option and nearly two thirds of the fan base did the survey so very worthwhile in my opinion.
    The cynics cant have it both ways saying the club never listens and yet critises when it does.

    Why shouldn't fans claim refunds? I just don't get this we shouldn't claim a refund rubbish. The club hasn't spelt out the financial situation and has lacked communication hiding behind the EFL.

    Instead of a an utterly pointless survey( that anyone can complete) which means nothing the club just needed to do and say this: It really isn't hard to set up a web form completion on a website.

    https://www.grimsby-townfc.co.uk/news/2020/june/grimsby-town-begin-donation--refund-process-for-season-ticket-holders/

    Instead our club is running a survey on what should have to people's money and I think it's wrong. I don't want my money going to the NHS. I would rather spend it in a local business that struggled for months.

    People should be claiming their money back and then doing what you suggested mate. The local restaurants are on their knees. Bradford City isn't as far as we know.

    Are they back open tomorrow? I'd rather give Boris Johnson a reacharound than sit with the great unwashed at a covid get together in one of Martins pubs.

    As I have stated previously I will be applying for my refund and will then be giving it to a charity covering Leukemia and Lymphomas.

    Bradford City is not a charity and 14000 X £20 (or whatever the number is) is a chunk of change to charities starved of income right now.

    If everyone took the refund and donated it to charity that would be welcome news rather than increasing the profits (and your waist line) of Whetherspoons.

    Or you could donate to the NHS charity as per option.

    Bradford City Can keep my money, hopefully it is used on transfers. Im lucky to not be furloughed and am able to still work from home. I understand that people need the money or want to send the club a message, so be it. I hope they publish how many refunds are taken up though. that would be an interesting read!
