Very well done Burnley Football Club, the right thing to do.

Make the offer, it's then up to the fans whether they take it up, or let it go back into the club.

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Mon Aug 07, 2017 6:37 pm

I'll get all the details on the article later but am out st a meeting. We've got until next Monday to claim.

excellent from the club. Now needs Hannover to pony up to cover trip costs for those that perhaps traveled material distances to attend the game, and can demonstrate direct and applicable costs

Diesel · Post by **Diesel** » Mon Aug 07, 2017 6:40 pm

Any indication that they will at least discuss the Twix situation?

Goodclaret · Post by **Goodclaret** » Mon Aug 07, 2017 6:41 pm

Great gesture from the club. They can keep my tenner that's for sure

Cirrus_Minor · Post by **Cirrus_Minor** » Mon Aug 07, 2017 6:42 pm

I wonder if they are offering the refunds to Hannover fans? Minus the cost for the damaged seats of course.

Crowd trouble is going to be a regular occurrence until they do.

Well done BFC.

Keep mine - donate it to where you like.

great gesture, hopefully the majority will give it to charity

Sure someone will be along shortly to find fault with this gesture...

bfcjg · Post by **bfcjg** » Mon Aug 07, 2017 7:06 pm

Charity for me. Great gesture.

Blackrod · Post by **Blackrod** » Mon Aug 07, 2017 7:08 pm

They didn't need to do that. It might now stop the moaners having a go at our well run club. Well done BFC.

Walton · Post by **Walton** » Mon Aug 07, 2017 7:13 pm

Fair play.

Lancasterclaret · Post by **Lancasterclaret** » Mon Aug 07, 2017 7:13 pm

Yup, well done BFC

Keep mine and my two kids. We saw a game and the kids got an idea how it was watching football when I was their age!

Great gesture by the club - and great response from posters above. I wasn't there on Saturday - only "attended" via updates on this board. I posted Saturday evening (or Sunday, time flies) that a donation to charity should fix any refund questions.

Club can donate my brass aswell for 2 reasons..........

1- I can't be bothered
and
2- It would cost me more than £10 to go get a refund as I bought over the counter at the ticket office, so I'd have to go over in person.

Great decision by the club though, and I hope most folk put it down to experience and allow local charities to benefit. We can then move on and look forward to the return leg next July

nimpy · Post by **nimpy** » Mon Aug 07, 2017 7:24 pm

Think a few people aren't going to be very happy, there was someone outside the jimmy mac asking for match tickets as he collected them and I saw scores of people giving there tickets to him

lagerbilly · Post by **lagerbilly** » Mon Aug 07, 2017 7:25 pm

The bloke collecting used tickets at the bob lord exit gate will be happy.....

I didn't attend but fantastic, certainly the right thing to do.

Well done Burnley FC....give mine to a worthy cause.

CnBtruntru · Post by **CnBtruntru** » Mon Aug 07, 2017 7:33 pm

Well I never, Miserable tight fisted Burnley making an fantastic gesture, Well done our Football club, hopefully everyone picks the Charity.

colner · Post by **colner** » Mon Aug 07, 2017 7:36 pm

Good gesture from the club,i wonder if BFC or Hannover are footing the bill as that may get fans thinking twice whether to claim the refund or not?

Diesel · Post by **Diesel** » Mon Aug 07, 2017 7:38 pm

Any chance of getting a refund for pretty much every single home game during the 80's?

Bacchus · Post by **Bacchus** » Mon Aug 07, 2017 8:03 pm

Happy for mine to go to charity too. I was certainly in favour of the club offering refunds but I think the gesture was far more important than the monetary value.

did pretty much every game get abandoned at half time in the 80's?

Lancasterclaret · Post by **Lancasterclaret** » Mon Aug 07, 2017 8:07 pm

Might as well have been to be honest!

No but we usually abandoned any hope of a win by half time

I'm all for charity but donating your kids might be a little too generous.

If they had it would have been better than a refund

Disgraceful. We should rearrange the match with Hannover and get free entry! We have been fleeced here!

Bfc · Post by **Bfc** » Mon Aug 07, 2017 8:50 pm

Re giving the supporters our money back, or donating it to charity. May I suggest the charity that should benefit should be the Barry Killby's Prostrate Cancer appeal. In a way we're giving back to the club, what they've returned to us.
Hopefully the club will be checking the names and addresses of ticket holders, to make sure the ones collecting stubs from supporters don't keep returning to the ticket office, to make money from their scam.

Who was the guy outside collecting used tickets? I thought it was strange at first , now I think he planned the whole thing

Not strange he'll be banging them together with a programme and flogging them on ebay - as collectors items.

Hope it goes to a worthy cause like the prostate cancer appeal or Pendleside hospice, would be nice to know where our money is going if we chose to donate

strayclaret · Post by **strayclaret** » Mon Aug 07, 2017 10:04 pm

Great gesture, they can have our £20.00

It's going to the club's charity, Burnley FC in the community. They do some excellent work.

Good one Stan, - I tried to 'like' it but couldn't find the button.

Oops,........... just as I posted the button appeared!

The community are distributing the money to local charities and I would suspect the hospice will be one of the main beneficiaries.

As for returning the tickets, you will need your Clarets Number to reclaim so there can't be a money making scam because once your Clarets Number has got its refund, that will be it. The bloke stood outside at the end of the game collecting tickets was also outside Tallaght after the Shamrock game.

That's a great gesture by the Club. Well done to all concerned. Delighted that funds will be donated to local charities. Were in.

So it looks like he is a genuine ticket collector and not a scammer, as was being alluded to by some on here.

No idea why he's doing it but he was in Dublin with the same sign.

There are quite a few people/groups who collect and then swop tickets. I collect them for a Burnley fan from GT Yarmouth.
